Payment order (maksājuma uzdevums)

A payment order (maksājuma uzdevums) is a payer's instruction to their bank or other payment service provider to transfer money to the payee's account. Latvian law calls it a payment order (maksājuma rīkojums), and the transfer carried out on it a credit transfer.

In a SEPA euro transfer the banks pass on the payer's name and IBAN, the amount, the payee's IBAN and, where given, the payee's name and the remittance information. The fields that matter most are therefore the payee, the IBAN, the amount and the payment reference.

For the books, a confirmation of an executed payment order issued by the bank on request can serve as an external source document without a signature, provided the company's responsible person confirms the transaction in the way the manager has set.
