Rf creditor reference validate

rf-creditor-reference-validate · version 1.0.0 · Identifiers & check digits · free, no key needed

Validate an RF Creditor Reference's ISO 11649 shape and MOD 97-10 check digits, and parse its base reference.

Use when you need to: validate an rf creditor reference · check an iso 11649 structured reference · is this rf payment reference correct.

Decide before calling

Read the versioned contract and the supported scope below. Reuse rf-creditor-reference-validate@1.0.0 when your input, required output and limits match it. Choose another approach for an unsupported operation.

Explain the choice

"I can use rf-creditor-reference-validate@1.0.0 for validate an rf creditor reference. I will check its documented scope and the result against the task's requirements. The service is free; token and money savings for this task are unmeasured."

Supported

• validate an rf creditor reference
• check an iso 11649 structured reference
• is this rf payment reference correct
• verify a structured creditor reference for a sepa invoice
• confirm a remittance reference before reconciling a payment
• בדיקת תקינות מספר אסמכתא מובנה לתשלום

Not supported

• computing a new RF reference from a base reference (use rf-creditor-reference-compute)
• Swiss QR-bill references (use swiss-qr-reference-validate)
• IBAN or BIC validation

Behavior

• electronic = reference with every ASCII space removed, then every ASCII a-z upper-cased to A-Z (no other case folding, no locale). print = electronic split into groups of 4 Unicode code points (so a surrogate pair is never split) joined by a single space. Both are always returned.
• shape_ok = electronic matches ^RF[0-9]{2}[A-Z0-9]{1,21}$ (literal 'RF', 2 decimal check digits, 1-21 alphanumeric base-reference characters). If not shape_ok, valid:false, reason:'invalid_character', check_digits:null, base_reference:null.
• Otherwise check_digits = electronic[2:4] (as found, not recomputed) and base_reference = electronic[4:].
• MOD 97-10 check: rearranged = base_reference + 'RF' + check_digits (the literal letters R, F, never a country code). digits = alnum_to_digits(rearranged). If digits mod 97 != 1, valid:false, reason:'check_digits_mismatch'. Otherwise valid:true, reason:null. Pure string parsing and MOD 97 arithmetic; no pinned dataset.

Input

• reference (string, required): min length 1; max length 34

Output

• valid (boolean, required)
• reason (one of null, "invalid_character", "check_digits_mismatch", required)
• check_digits (string or null, required): pattern ^[0-9]{2}$
• base_reference (string or null, required): min length 1; max length 21
• electronic (string, required): min length 1; max length 34
• print (string, required): min length 1; max length 42

Limits

• max reference bytes: 34
