Setup guidanceTo receive successful matches for your clients, it is important that the policy references you have recorded against the client in your system exactly match the policy reference sent in the LV bulk file.  
We recommended you carry out a one-time exercise straight away to ensure your policy references are in the same format as we send in the file.  
Pensions
You must have the numeric and alpha part included.
The plan references should start with between 5 and 7 numbers, followed by a short code.  For example: 99999ABCD or 999999ABCD.
If you use the Contract Enquiry service, you may be using the format of just numbers, e.g. 99999, so it is important to check you have this correct.  
Individual insured investments within a SIPP have their own separate policy reference/format that usually start with a letter followed by numbers.  For example: X999999999 or D999999999.  You can use these references to get the individual valuation; however, we always recommend you use the 99999ABCD or 999999ABCD format, so that we return the total value of the SIPP wrapper that includes all the individual values.
Some older legacy plans not attached to a SIPP use a different policy format.  These also start with a letter followed by numbers, and should be recorded in that format.
Investments
The policy number should be 10 digits with a letter at the start and end.  
For example:
Bond - F00123456G
ISA - I00123456G
SMF TIP - S00123456G
Please ensure that policy references end with a letter, and do not end with 01 or 02 (a reference format sometimes shown on our correspondence).
