Working with Multiple Origination Accounts without the use of Origination Profiles (also known as 'On-the-Fly')
Setup
In the Advanced (Processor) edition of ACH Universal, please turn on this feature by selecting ACH Setup from the Home screen, and continuing to screen 6 of 7.
Check the 'On-The-Fly' option, and then complete the wizard to save this selection.
Importing transactions
Prepare your import file. In addition to the fields that your file would typically have (Name, Amount, ABA/Routing number, Account Number, etc.), the file should also contain:
--Company Name
--Company Identification
Field |
Map in ACH Universal as |
Appears in the ACH File |
Company Name |
Company Name - Origination Acct (On-The-Fly) |
Batch header (5 - 20) |
Company Identification |
Company ID - Origination Acct (On-The-Fly) |
Batch header (41 - 50) |
ACH File
When the ACH File is created, it is batched taking into account the Company Name and Company ID, thereby enabling you to satisfy NACHA Third Party Rules and Regulations
Notes:
The fields below are only accessible in the mapping window if this feature has been turned on (see Step #1)
Company Name - Origination Acct (On-The-Fly)
Company ID - Origination Acct (On-The-Fly)
If the value of either field (Company Name or ID) is blank/null in the import file, the transaction is not considered to be a valid transaction (no blanks are allowed--these are mandatory NACHA fields).
Balanced files (or offset records) can be created using the default information entered in ACH Setup (screen 4 of 7).
If offset records are required based on the origination account, use our profiles-based multiple origination account feature.
If you need to perform profile-based file importing, use our profile-based multiple origination accounts feature.
In addition, use profile-based multiple origination accounts for QuickBooks automation.
