Personal Public Service Number (PPSN) Extraction & Checksum Validation

Field Extraction:

Get a head start in extracting the PPSN by downloading the PPSN module. The module shows how the PPSN can be extracted using a combination of training and use of a format locator. The extraction can be further configured/extended to suit your exact requirements.

Checksum Validation:

To avoid picking up an invalid PPSN (possibly as a result of a poor quality image), the module contains a useful implementation of a modulus check that will ensure only alternatives complying with the PPSN format are considered. To do that, the 8th (check) character of the PPSN is compared to the result of a weighted addition of all the numbers(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Public_Service_Number).

TotalAgility or Transformation Modules:

Designed for flexibility, the module contains a solution for both TotalAgility and Transformation. For TotalAgility, please use the TotalAgility business rule orientated solution. The business rule is named 'BR_ValidatePPSN' and can be imported into TotalAgility by importing the package named 'KTA_PPSN_Package'. For Transformation, please use the script found inside the two script text files.

This module allows you to speed up the implementation of PPSN extraction and checksum validation. Avoid picking up invalid PPSN values by only picking up those which pass the checksum validation.

The modulus 23 calculation has been created based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Public_Service_Number.
