This field contains a reference common to both the Sender and the Receiver.
This field consists of two codes, a Sender's code and a Receiver's code, separated by a four-digit number.
The codes are made up from the party prefix and party suffix of the Sender's and Receiver's BICs, that is, their BIC without the country code (Error code(s): T95). These codes must appear in alphabetical order, with letters taking precedence over numbers (Error code(s): T96).
The four-digit number must consist of the rightmost non-zero digit of field 36 in sequence D, when present, otherwise of field 37U in the first occurrence of sequence G, preceded by the three digits to the left of it. If there are no digits to the left of it, the space must be zero filled (Error code(s): T22).
