1.     There are three restricted reference number fields on FRS accounting transactions.

2.     Two restricted reference fields are called Reference 1 and Reference 2. Each field is six characters in length. The information entered in these fields varies with the type of transaction.

All the information in these fields is printed on the transaction list of the monthly accounting statement (FBM091). An explanation of the reference numbers and their meaning for each type of transaction follows:
