This field specifies the reference number assigned by the Sender to unambiguously identify the instruction, ie, the number uniquely identifying the instruction to the fund manager.
This field must not start or end with a slash '/' and must not contain two consecutive slashes '//' (Error code(s): T26).
The reference assigned to an instruction is used for cross-referencing purposes in subsequent messages, such as following MTs 303 and statement messages, as well as queries. It is therefore essential for the identification of the original MT 303 sent that this reference be unique.
