Missing FIK 71 (OCR-string) on invoice? (called indbetalingskort in Danish)

Posted on by JesperN

We have now upgraded to NAV 2015 from C5 and it runs smooth, but it took a while for us to get used to it.
But until now all our invoices has money transfer to our bank account as the only way of payment.
The reason is that NAV 2015 does not show the FIK ( FIK 71 ) string on the invoices.
We used it on our former C5 and that was super easy to set up: Type in the PBS-number in the generel settings and choose FIK as payment on the customer and the correct FIK-string would be on the invoice,

I have now spend I-dont-know-how-many-hours on trying to figure out how to add this in NAV 2015 - and for some unknown reason this is a apparently a very well guarded secret.

So I would be very pleased if someone could share with me what to add to the Sale Invoice (Salgs-faktura) to make it show the FIK 71 -string, before I loose my mind over this... :-(

Hi Suresh,

Thank you so much for your fast reply!
I have attached a picture of the bottom of an old invoice from our C5 - with the FIK-number (that is the OCRid string marked with a pink circle).
It does not have to be placed exactly like that. The important part is to get NAV 2015 to generate and print the string on the sales invoice.

Best Regards

Jesper,

I believe the FIK 71 string will be the same for every customer who has FIK payment enabled correct ? if so you just need to create a boolean field on customer table called FIK Payment and another field on sales & receivables setup table FIK String of type text.

You can then modify the report to check if the customer has FIK payment enabled so then you can grab the value from the new field from FIK string on sales & receivables setup and print on the invoice.

I am not sure how much technical knowledge you have but this is a very simple modification, if you are not a developer, please contact your partner and they should do this very quickly.

Thanks

Suresh

Hi Jesper

NAV 2015 do have support for Danish FIK71 out of the box:

1. Make sure you entered a "Bank Creditor No. " in "Company Information" (Danish: Bankkreditornr. i Virksomhedsoplysninger)

2. When you invoice a sales order or sales invoice, choose "FIK 71" in "Payment Method Code" (Danish: Betalingsformkode)

The FIK-line is shown on the invoice in the top right column. This image is from "CRONUS Danmark A/S", report 206 (but 1306 also supports FIK71)

Note that NAV only states the invoice no in the OCR line...

If You cannot make it Work, call me at Systemconnect :-)

Suresh Kulla: FYI a Danish OCR line contains the Invoice No and a check digit... But this is fully supported in the Danish NAV 2015...

Hi Gert,

THAT WAS IT! Perfect!

I had filled in our kreditor-number in another field that sounded more like the correct field, than "Bank Creditor Number". But I have changed it to the correct field and now it works like a charm :-).

Thank you and have a nice (and safe) new year's eve.
