This feature is only available for stores in Norway and Finland.
KID, a Norwegian abbreviation for "Kunde-ID", is a banking/payment feature that Norwegian banks use to identify invoice payments.
By enabling KID, invoice payments will be assigned a unique "KID number" on the invoice, which in turn a specific customer enters when they pay the invoice in their bank.
Setting up KID might be a bit complicated, and often also involves the accounting system, including EHF setup, and so we recommend that we assist in setting up KID.
Enable the KID extension
Contact us to have it enabled. Note that most extensions has an added monthly cost.
Configure the KID mask
The KID mask can consist of n, c, or fixed numbers. It can have a minimum of 1 character and a maximum of 24 characters (KID can be a maximum of 25 characters in total).
Key Elements:
n: Represents the voucher number, invoice number, or document number
c: Represents the customer number or account number.
Combination: The KID can be a combination of n, c, and fixed numbers.
Examples:
Example 1: You want the KID to be nine characters long and consist only of the invoice number.
Use the mask: nnnnnnnn
.
If the invoice number is shorter than eight characters, leading zeros will be added to make it eight digits. A control digit will then be appended at the end.
Example 2: You want the KID to consist of four characters from the customer number and four characters from the invoice number.
Use the mask: ccccnnnn
.
Example 3: You want the KID to start with the number 5, followed by six digits from the invoice number.
Use the mask: 5nnnnnn
.
This flexible masking system ensures that the KID is generated consistently and meets your specific requirements.
Choose the Modulus Type
In most cases this should be "MOD10", so unless you have very specific needs, simply type MOD10
in this field, and you should be good to go.
Thats it! When creating new sales with the payment method Invoice, every invoice should now get its unique KID assigned to it (and displayed in the invoice PDF)
If you are using an accounting system integration, it is very important that the KID mask is aligned with whatever your acocunting system use.
This feature only adds the KID to the invoices. You need to make sure to check for payments in the bank, and register the payments manually.
