This CF can only be used by European payment transfers !!!

I use this function for invoices or orders.

What do you need ?

1) A number field "number" with a generated number ( year & serial.. or something else )
2) A text field "payref" with auto calculation ( PayRef ( number ) ).

What exactly is a "European payment transfer"? I cannot find any online resources mentioning it.


AFAIK, modulo-97 check digits are generated as follows:

SerialIncrement ( "00" ; 98 - Mod ( input ; 97 ) )

See, for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number#Generating_IBAN_check_digits

In your example using 20130001 as the input, the check digits would be calculated as "22" instead of "76".
