Linkage Data

The Linkage ORI and OCA Fields are provided as separate fields to associate incidents that are handled by multiple departments. A record which shares the same incident of a record entered with a different ORI and/or OCA can be modified to link the records by entering the associated ORI and OCA into the linkage fields (LKI and LKA) of both records. If a modify transaction is used to add a linkage to another record, then both LKI and LKA must be entered.

LKI and LKA Fields already existing in the identity theft record can be modified individually. The message will be rejected if the LKI/LKA Fields are the same as the ORI/OCA Fields.

The LKI and LKA Fields must be deleted as a pair; otherwise, the message will be rejected.
