Remittance advice number

The code 'CR'  is issued by the ordering customer for use by the banks to uniquely identify the credit transaction.  This number may be quoted by the banks in subsequent messages in the payment chain.

The code 'PQ'  is issued by the ordering customer and passed to the beneficiary to uniquely identify the transaction for reconciliation purposes.

When the code value 'RA' is used in this segment it will always relate to an external remittance advice which has been issued by the ordering party and communicated directly between two trading partners. It is recommended that only one remittance advice be specified per level C.

Segment Notes:

This segment is used to identify any references related to the payment order.
Should there be a requirement to cancel a payment order then the DE 1004 value from the BGM segment, the reference in group 4, and the reference in group 11 must be provided in the FINCAN message to ensure cancellation of the correct payment order.

Example:
