JPMorgan Chase has provided very specific instructions for the ACH Setup.
Click on the 'ACH File Setup' icon:
Click to Screen 2:
- If you have had ACH Service with JPMorgan Chase in the past, you should have an assigned ACH/EFT ID number that would be entered in the Immediate Origin position (third box above). If you are just starting ACH Service for the first time, you'll enter all zeros. [There are two portals for uploading files, one for those showing Origin ID numbers of zeros, one for those with assigned Origin ID numbers.]
Click the Advanced Setup radio button, and then click 'Next' to Screen 3. In the third box: Origin DFI - be sure to take the space out and add the number '2' at the end.
Click 'Next' to Screen 4 (no action needed), then 'Next' to Screen 5
Click 'Next' to Screen 6 (no action needed), then 'Next' to Screen 7
Click 'Finish'

NOTE: Bank account names for ACH recipients must match the name on the bank account or Chase may return the transaction.

I.D. NUMBERS are needed for each transaction
If using QuickBooks:
QuickBooks shows the I.D. number as 'Account Number' in the Profile, usually under the Payment Settings tab:
If you are not currently using ID numbers in your QuickBooks Profiles, you can choose a setting in ACH Universal so that a constant ID will be included on the transaction records. [Note: The ID alpha characters must be all capitals.]
- To set this default click on the QuickBooks Integration icon.
- Then, in the integration box, click the Settings tab->ACH Settings tab->Other Settings tab
- Select 'Constant' in the dropdown [see below]. Then 'Save.'
Then, go into the ACH File Setup
- Click through the Advanced Setup options to Screen 7. Click on Advanced tab->'Legacy 3 and QuickBooks' tab
- Enter the constant to be included in the ID Number field--in all capital letters [up to 15 characters]. This ID number can be the same for all transactions on your ACH file.
If importing an Excel file:
Be sure to include a column with an ID Number field, and map the column header as 'ID_Number' --either on the Profile import to ACH Universal or when importing the Excel or CSV file of transactions:
Example: I.D. numbers must be at least 4 digits--no spaces
