A OCR-based payments (FIK/GIK in Denmark), contains an OCR reference, which is used to identify the vendor and the purchase document in connection with a payment.

It is important that the payment identification is completely correct, to ensure that the payment can be completed. We therefore recommend that you set up FIK / GIK payment on the vendor, so that the correct information is automatically created upon payment.
