1. Introduction
1.1Inpayment slip with reference number (ISR) in CHF or EUR
ISR is an electronic debtor service which allows the customer to bill open
invoices in CHF and EUR in a simple manner and to quickly post incoming
payments.
ISR is ideal for larger slip volumes. The reference number/code line contains
all data that are relevant for book-keeping. No slip images are delivered.
–Either fixed slips are provided or the corresponding field is left blank and
is filled in by hand.
–The debtor can choose whether to make payment at the post office
counter, by payment order, or electronically via e-finance or e-banking.
–All inpayment slips are delivered to the computer centre of PostFinance
on the day of payment; there they are processed and subsequently
credited, see 5.1.2.
–Credit data is delivered electronically and free of charge.
–PostFinance urgently recommends to run a free preliminary test before
posting the first slips.
–ISR in CHF and EUR are for exclusive use in Switzerland, as the relevant
infrastructure for slip processing is not available abroad.
1.2ISR list in CHF or EUR (PDF or paper)
ISR list is ideal for small businesses without book-keeping software.
Incoming payments are posted manually.
–PostFinance/Printer uses pre-printed, consecutively numbered inpayment
slips which are printed in accordance with customers’ requirements.
–The debtor can again choose whether to make payment at the post office
counter, by payment order, or electronically via e-finance or e-banking.
–Periodic data delivery is available via e-mail in PDF format or on paper by
post, subject to a fee.
1.3Service Description
–Electronic posting of credit data in book-keeping software available
(exception: e-mail in PDF format, ISR list), incl. dunning.
–Secure and cost-saving processing of payments.
–The basic offer of ISR is free of charge.
–Simple control for debtors.
–ISR in EUR are the same in layout and processing as those in CHF.
–For detailed information, see documentation «Prices and conditions for
business customers».

3. ISR Service Description
3.1Identification of ISR customer
The customer is assigned an ISR customer number for automated payment
processing of ISR. The customer can use several ISR but these must
have ­different names. A separate ISR customer number is always issued for
­cash-on-delivery ISR. The ISR must be in pure currency, that is, ISR in
CHF (e.g. 01-162-8) and in EUR (e.g. 03-162-5) have different subscriber
­numbers and must also be optically distinguishable.
3.2ISR slips
The ISR slip has two parts – the processing slip (used for processing) and an
attached receipt stub (stays with the payer). The processing slip and receipt
stub must be perforated for easy separation.
3.3Slip types
There are different slip types on offer. The slips in the present handbook
do not reflect real dimensions and must therefore not be used as templates.

The conditions for designing the amount fields correspond to those of ISR.
3.4Designing of ISR slips
The automated processing of ISR requires special technical procedures
to produce quality ISR. There are certain mandatory defaults for the design,
production and delivery of the ISR.These regulations are laid down in
the form of technical specifications and sample dimensions and designs.
Manual ISR Version May 2014
13/34
3.4.1 Back side printing
The reverse side of the processing slip may be printed on between print
lines 1–17; that of the receipt stub may be printed on anywhere.
Inpayer comments to the customer are not permitted anywhere on the
processing slip.
3.4.2 Attached forms
The ISR may be supplemented with an attached form, situated either to the
left or above the slip. Authorised designs are shown in Appendices 1 and 2.
A form may be attached to the right or beneath the ISR upon request.
3.4.3 Multiple forms (carbons)
Carbon forms are permitted. The processing slip itself (original), however,
must not be chemically coated. In order to ensure good OCR printing
quality on the processing slip, the use of chemically coated paper is recommended. Carbons duplicating in ­orange or red shades are not to be used.
3.4.4 Paper standard
Only OCR DIN 6723 90 g/m2 paper is to be used for the ISR slips.
3.4.5Printing
Print shops possess the necessary technical and detailed layout specifications
and are ­prepared to assist customers in designing the necessary forms.
3.4.6Ready-to-print
For first time and/or reprint slip orders containing text or descriptive
changes, the printer must obtain official OK-for-printing from PostFinance,
Input Electronic Services before beginning the job.
The OK-for-printing documents can also be submitted via e-mail
in PDF format to the following address: postfinance @postfinance.ch
(A4 1:1 format, front and back side).

3.5.2 Customer name
➁ and ➋
The debtor and the postal service must be able to clearly identify the
customer. The customer name must therefore be indicated on the ISR slips
as follows:
–Entries from the Commercial Register: must be worded exactly as
published
–Entries not in the Commercial Register: must include a first and last name
and business address, or match the account name and address
–Associations, clubs, foundations: must match their Statutes/Articles
of Foundation name and main business address
–Administrative bodies, official agencies and governmental authorities:
must match their official designation and location
The main or business address must be preceded by the ZIP code.
If the customer cannot be clearly identified, payments may be refused.
Manual ISR Version May 2014
16/34
3.5.3
Debtor name
➂ and ➌
The debtor must be specified on both the processing slip and the receipt
stub. A full postal address is required on the processing slip (name, street or
post office box, ZIP code and location). Debtor addresses are always to be
printed in one block, that is, without blank lines. No additional informations
may be indicated (e.g. invoice numbers).
The address fields may remain blank if the debtor is unknown when the
payment orders are printed. Where this is the case, two different forms
must be printed and/or the address fields be provided with preprinted lines.
A minimum line spacing of 3⁄12" is required to allow for both mechanical
or hand entries of debtor details.
3.5.4
Coding zone
➃ and ➍
The coding zone encompasses lines 20–25 on the processing slip and is the
area designed for the code line.
The correct structure and right positioning of the code line and OCR-B1
script are pre­conditions to allow for the automated processing of the slips.
If the inpayment slips do not correspond to the specifications provided
by PostFinance, this can lead to rejects (see 5.2) and possible disturbances
during processing.
Tools for checking code line see 4.3.

23 = ISR in EUR for credit to own account (section 3.3.4)
31 = ISR+ in EUR
33 = ISR+ in EUR for credit to own account (section 3.3.4)
3.5.5.4Amounts
➅ and ➏
The payment amounts in the code line and amount fields must match.
Amounts in excess of CHF or EUR 1,000 are to be printed in one block
without separations or commas. Entries of CHF or EUR 0 (zero), “blocking
stars” and other fill characters are not p
­ ermitted in the amount field (for
exception, see section 3.3.5 “ISR not designated for payment”).
Amounts in CHF must be rounded to 00 or 05 centimes (Swiss norm). The
EUR can be handled in individual cents, e.g. 02. The maximum amount
in CHF is 99,999,999.95, in EUR 99,999,999.99 and must not be exceeded.
3.5.5.5 Reference numbers and reference boxes
➆ and ➐
The reference number is numeric, up to max. 27 digits. Reference numbers
with 16 digits are also permitted (only for ISR in CHF).
The following points are to be observed:
–Code line: unused spaces are always aligned to the left and must be filled
in with zeros.
–Reference box of the processing slip: the reference number is to be positioned flush right, in blocks of 5 digits plus one block of remaining digits.
Preceding zeros are suppressed. The reference box is mandatory.
–Receipt stub: its unrestricted grouping does not require 5-digit blocks,
digits can be printed consecutively, preceding zeros are suppressed.
Manual ISR Version May 2014
19/34
3.5.5.6 Auxiliary characters
➇ and ➑
The auxiliary characters are: > and +.
3.5.5.7 Check digits (C1, C2, C3)
➈ and ➒
Interference factors such as soiling, excessive stamping or handwritten changes to ­the printed characters can cause problems on reading
them. Incomplete or illegible digits can lead to rejection or incorrect
reading of slips. To identify these mistakes and prevent eventual errors
from being processed, check digits are added to the code line. The
digit is calculated using recursive module 10 (for description, see Handbook ­“Record Description Electronic services”; for document delivery,
contact www.postfinance.ch/isr).
3.5.5.8 OCR-B1 character set
For the code line, the script to be applied for the whole set of characters
is OCR-B, size 1 (including the two auxiliary characters + >), 10 characters
per inch. For character design and nominal shape of the characters the
regulations of standard “DIN 66009”, edition 1977, apply.
3.5.5.9 Approved printers
Only printers provided with an OCR-B compatible script may be used for
labelling the code line.
3.6Mailing requirements
This chapter details the requirements for dispatch. This includes a description of aspects such as separating, folding, etc.
3.6.1Separation
Continuous-feed payment forms can be cut as well as torn by hand or
machine. The cut markings are to be closely observed, as poorly cut slips
may be rejected.
3.6.2Folds
When ISR are folded, the fold must occur along the perforated line.
3.6.3 Feed holes
Perforated feed holes must be removed before the slips are mailed.
3.6.4 Bound ISR forms (ISR booklets)
ISR slips can be delivered to the debtor in bound/booklet form. The binding
must lie outside the Post’s portion of the receipt stub. We recommend per­
foration directly near the binding steam of the booklet, enabling the inpayer
to present the processing and r­eceipt portions of a slip connected together
but separated from the booklet at the post office counter. The receipt stub
may only be attached at the top or left-hand edge of the processing slip,
with perforations running either vertically or horizontally, as the case may be.
Manual ISR Version May 2014
20/34
3.7Data delivery of incoming payments
This chapter describes the data media used for dispatch, deliveries of
­multiple ISR, as well as sorting.
The data deliveries are always sent through one data medium only. Deliveries via multiple channels are not allowed in order to prevent the data from
being processed twice.
3.7.1 Data medium
Delivery of ISR data is possible with the following carriers:
– E-finance
– F ile transfer for business customers
– Direct net connection (FDS = File Delivery Services)
– Partner network (FDS)
– Telebanking Server (TBS), e.g. Mammut, Office Wings, etc.
– H-Net®
– SWIFT FileAct
The data is downloadable on the day following the selected periodicity
at the latest by 6 a.m.
E-finance download
Files remain available over a period of
15 months. Data which have been downloaded are deleted after 30 days.
Direct net connection (FDS)
Partner network (FDS)
H-Net®
Files (whether downloaded or not) remain
available for 9 days.
The customer can delete files that have
been downloaded.
Telebanking Server (TBS)
Files remain on the server until the data
have been downloaded.
After download the data are no longer
accessible.
SWIFT FileAct
File is sent to the customer. The data of the
receipted files extradition be deleted.
For more details, please contact PostFinance, Contact center Electronic
services, phone +41 848 848 424.
– E-mail ASCII
Attachment in data carrier format, in coded form on request. The data
can be downloaded by the customer at the latest by 6 a.m. on the day
following the selected periodicity.
– E-mail PDF
Suitable for customers with no book-keeping software (see sample
Appendices 3 and 4). Also available in coded form on request. The data
can be downloaded by the customer at the latest by 6 a.m. on the day
following the selected periodicity.
Manual ISR Version May 2014
21/34
– ISR list paper (subject to a fee)*
Suitable for customers with no book-keeping software (see sample
Appendices 3 and 4). Data is delivered to the customer by post on the
next but one day following the selected periodicity. PostFinance cannot
guarantee timely distribution by PostMail.
3.7.2 Delivery with multiple ISR
Data of different ISR customer numbers for the same processing office
can be delivered via a single data medium. ln this case, a total record per ISR
customer number will be drawn up, but never a grand total.
3.7.3 Data sorting
Data is listed in ascending order by ISR customer number, reference number,
and also by transaction type for transactions bearing the same reference
number.
3.7.4 Record type
Data is delivered either via record type 3 (only CHF) or type 4 (CHF and EUR)
at the c­ ustomer’s choice. Record format is shown in the Handbook “Record
Description E­ lectronic services” under www.postfinance.ch/isr. Record
type 4 corresponds to the latest generation of records and is therefore to be
preferred.
3.7.5 Transaction codes
Records for delivery are coded according to slip type and method of payment.
3.7.6 Transaction code index for record type 3 (only ISR in CHF)
– Credit and correction records =credited to the customer
– Cancellation records (reversals)=debited to the customer

The following exception is possible:
The details required for processing electronic payments (ISR customer
number, reference number, and amount) are taken from the processing
slip and not from the code line. This means that the slip code in the
code line is not recorded. These ISR inpayments are therefore always
coded by PostFinance with the transaction code “e-transaction”.
3.7.8 Adjusted and reverse entries
Amount discrepancies between code lines and amount fields
The amounts in the amount field and code line must match. Discrepancies
occur when the payer alters the amount field or when the inpayment slip
is incorrectly printed. The amount in the amount field is usually credited to
the customer.
Delivered data adjustments
To provide the customer access to his data as quickly as possible, data
scanned error-free is delivered, without any rechecking. Corrections and
cancellations, therefore, may follow at a later date (see 3.7.5 Trans­action
codes). Adjusted and reverse e­ ntries are marked in the delivery e-mail PDF
format and ISR list with “*” and with “-” (minus).
Customers are advised to get in touch with their contact person in cases
of doubtful payments (e.g. double payments), before proceeding to a final
adjustment.

3.7.9 Periodicity of data delivery
Incoming payments are credited to the account of the customer on a daily
basis (collective credit per ISR customer number), regardless of the selected
periodicity.
Following daily processing, data deliveries are produced. Customers are
free to choose the periodicity of carrier delivery for each of their ­individual
delivery numbers. Processing-cycle variations are:
a) on all Post workdays (except delivery e-mail PDF format, ISR list)
b)on 1 to 4 designated Post workdays per week
c) on one or two specific Post workdays per month (month-end processing
always occurs on the last workday of each month)
d)on the penultimate Post workday of the month, and for the remaining
time, on one or two designated workdays per week
e) for special purposes (e.g. audits), data delivery may be requested for
a specific day outside of the above listed standard options (special
deliveries are limited to a ­maximum 12 per year). Special delivery can
be combined with periodicity b)–d).
– E ach customer will automatically receive an extra, penultimate closing
delivery at year-end. So it is guaranteed that the customers can book all
incoming credits until December 31.
– If the last day of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday or on a public
­holiday (Berne), Post­Finance will carry out internal entries and monthly
­settlements (extraordinary b
­ alance date). These dates are included in
the next delivery (as per periodicity). The statements of account will show
two credit totals per ISR customer number (date of the extra­ordinary
­balance date and first Post workday of the new month). These internal
­entries by PostFinance have no impact on the crediting of ISR data.
–D
ata deliveries may be suspended for a time to cover holidays, vacations,
etc. To schedule interrupted service, please get in touch with your
contact person. The data will be produced jointly in one delivery at the
end of the suspension.
3.7.10 Delivery of ISR slips
The ISR slips are not delivered to the customer. They stay in the possession
of PostFinance and are electronically archived.
3.7.11 Credit entries
A daily ISR credit is posted to the customer’s designated postal account.
3.7.12Reconciliation
The amount posted to the account for credits can be reconciled by com­
paring all records of a specific credit date with the like-dated collective
amount on the account statement.
The booking date is saved in the type 3 and 4 credit record (Handbook
“Record Description Electronic services”, www.postfinance.ch/isr).
This date is also specified on the account statement and it normally matches
the date of the delivery. Eventual discrepancies should be reported imme­
diately to the contact person.

4. Test run
With the test run, the quality of the slips is checked and the cost of ­
rejects can be ­decreased. Testing serves to check the entire process of an
ISR processing session, is free of charge and is highly recommended:
– prior to initial slip delivery
– f or each individual ISR customer number
– f or each individual slip type (section 3.3)
–w
hen programming changes affect the printing of code lines, or when
the ISR software undergoes major revisions (e.g. software conversion)
– in instances of high slip rejection rates
– f or every new issue
4.1Test requirements
–5
fully printed ISR/ISR+ slips, whole with any attachments (only visual
checking of slips)
–A
bout 50 printed ISR and/or about 50 ISR+ processing slips with different
reference numbers (ISR+ excluding amounts) so that the slips can be read
in and in case of a positive result a file can be d
­ elivered if requested.
4.1.1 Test data distribution
Test data distribution is needed to check whether the read-in data can
be processed by the book-keeping software. The distributed files also
contain rejected, cancelled and c­ orrected records. This ensures that the
customer’s book-keeping software is p
­ rogrammed in accordance with
PostFinance guidelines.
Test data distribution can be done via channels e-finance, FDS, H-Net®,
Connect Direct, SWIFT FileAct or as e-mail. For test data to be dispatched,
it must be requested by the customer and record positive results of the slip
testing. Test files and test mail are delivered separately from the productive
data.
Once distributed, test data cannot be reconstructed in original form.
PostFinance requires new ISR slips for testing purposes to effect a new
test data distri­bution.
4.2Test results
Test results are communicated in writing to either the customer or his
processing ­office.
4.3Tools for checking code lines
PostFinance, Input Electronic Services, will provide upon request the following aiding device (price on request) for checking slips and code lines:
Grid for controlling the setup and positioning of the code line of the
different ISR slip types (e.g. ISR/ISR+)
4.4Most frequent errors on ISR slips
An overview of the most frequent errors can be found under section 5.2.

5.1Processing cycle by PostFinance
This section explains the way processing is handled by PostFinance.
5.1.1 Working days
Normally, Post workdays are weekdays Monday through Friday.
Exceptions are standard and regional holidays (Berne). If the periodicity of
delivery falls on a holiday, delivery will be made on the next Post workday.

5.2Rejects
ISR not in compliance with PostFinance guidelines may cause problems
during processing at the computing centres. These slips cannot be auto­
matically processed and additional processing needs to be carried out
manually. PostFinance recommends the free test run (see chapter 4) to
avoid rejects.
The main reasons for rejected slips are:
– ISR whose code line is not entirely recognisable by the equipment
(e.g. illegible characters)
– ISR requiring manual processing (e.g. incorrect check digits, incorrect code
line format, positioning)
– inpayments whose original slips can no longer be automatically processed
(e.g. creased or dirtied slips)
– c ode line is not in OCR-B1 characters
– ISR cut incorrectly, therefore wrong positioning of the code line
–p
oor or irregular printing quality
Manual ISR Version May 2014
26/34
In order for the customer (or his processing unit) to remain informed about
slip printing quality, he will be advised of any rejected ISR. This way the
causes of rejection can be investigated and remedied as quickly as possible.
Incorrect slips are identified in the credit record (“Reject code” field) with
the following codes:
0 = not rejected
1=rejected
5 = bulk reject
Records with code number 1 are rejections subject to a service fee, charged
to the customer as detailed in the attached fee schedule.
Exceptions: for delivery of ISR list, e-mail in PDF format the rejected amounts
­cannot be viewed.
5.3Payments without original ISR forms
Payments without original slips are still processed in the following cases:
5.3.1 Payments as paperless e-transactions
– T he debtor or his authorised processing unit records the ISR data and
­submits them on a data medium.
– T he debtor records the payments electronically (e-finance or e-banking).
The delivered ISR data are checked for formal accuracy. Electronic payment
orders with missing, incorrect reference numbers or those filled in with “0”
will be returned to the data media processing station. Only the customer
can identify an erroneous reference number, provided that the check digit is
correct.
5.3.2 Original slips cannot be processed mechanically
The ISR slip is:
– torn
– presented with scotch tape
– contains corrections in the amount field
– missing, the receipt stub was submitted, instead
Such slips require manual processing but can still be delivered as ISR.
5.3.3Red inpayment slip (IS) as replacement of an original ISR slip
The debtor or his processing unit uses a red inpayment slip with indication
of the ISR c­ ustomer number and reference number if:
– the original ISR slip is no longer available
– t he debtor wishes to pay an amount differing from the one printed
on the slip
If the amounts cannot be processed as ISR (e.g. missing reference number,
ISR paid in at the counter on the day of cancellation) the account number
is added and the amounts are subsequently credited to the account for fee
­debits. These payments cannot be delivered on the ISR data medium but
are advised to the customer as red inpayment slips.

27/34
5.4Reconstructions
Recos (reconstructions) are needed in case of loss of data, audits, damage
to the original delivery, etc. Recos correspond to the original deliveries.
5.4.1 Ordering reconstructed data
Recos may be ordered from the contact person. When ordering, the delivery
number, the ISR customer number (if required), the total amount and the
creation date of the delivery are to be indicated.
Reco orders will be processed the same day. Reconstructed data orders
(Recos) ordered after 5 p.m. will be prepared for delivery on the following day.
The customer must specify the original medium problem when ordering a
data Reco, as otherwise a technical problem might be on hand.
PostFinance reserves the right to charge a price for a large quantity of orders.
5.4.2Delivery
Duplicate e-mail and data files (Reco files) are delivered independent
of productive data and are marked with an “R”. Exception: delivery TBS.
ISR lists (paper) and e-mail PDF bear the note “Copy”.
5.5Researches
Requests for double-checking of data are to be directed in writing to
PostFinance, Input Electronic Services, or orally to the contact person. A list
of all data required can be taken from the credit record.
