Account Validation |
|
Funds (e.g. Council Tax) can have different types of Account Validation.
|
Validation To prevent fraud, the message on Paye.net will NOT display the reference validation that needs to be entered. If a mask in in place, and you cannot complete a transaction after you have entered the reference, please contact your administrator. |
The following validation rules (programmed in AIM) can be set per standard fund.
There is no validation check in place. Any alphanumeric reference code can be entered. This option can be used for funds which don't have set references and have small values. e.g. Wasp Nest Removal |
A mask is set in AIM. This mask defines the type of reference code that can be accepted. Examples Mask = ######## (Will only accept numbers of 8 digits) Mask = @@@@@ (Will accept any alphanumeric of 5 characters) Mask = T######$ (Will only accept a reference starting with a T containing 6 digits and ending with a letter) Mask = #####c (A check digit is in place. The reference number consists of 6 digits including a check digit) |
A reference has been entered in AIM. The reference code entered has to match each character in order to continue.
e.g. The reference in AIM is ABC1234. The reference you enter needs to be ABC1234. |
Other Information
References and validation can be chained.
a 5 digit number, 7 digit number and 10 digit number can all be accepted for one account. These are normally used when an accounts system is upgraded and the reference codes change.
e.g. The account number for the fund used to be AB123, but after the upgrade of the accounts system, this is now ABC1234. For some time, customers will still pay on their old Account number.
If you have any issues with the validation during payment, contact your Administrator
