The ReconReference extraction setting is only available for the Nedbank distributor.
An 8-digit ReconReference is sent from iVeri to the acquirer to uniquely identify a transaction. This number is used to query transaction information with the acquirer, and it may appear on the merchant reconciliation statement.
By default, a ReconReference is generated by the iVeri Gateway.
A merchant has the option for their ReconReference to be derived from their MerchantReference. Since a MerchantReference can be in free text format of up to 64 characters, various rules determine how the 7-digit ReconReference is derived from extracting a section of the Merchant Reference.
The configuration for activating a derived ReconReference requires:
- fixed starting position
- maximum length of up to 7 digits (first digit reserved as a control digit)
- direction: left-to-right or right-to-left.
