Optional Items

These processing options are used to define optional information that the system includes in the prenote transaction file.

1. Enter Tape Processor's Name if different from Company Name. If left blank, it will default to Company Name.

Specify the name of the ACH operator or sender. Typically, this is the name of your company or the entity for which you are creating an automatic deposit or prenote transaction file.

2. Descriptive Date

Specify the date description that you want to appear to the receiver of the automatic deposit or prenote transaction file. This 6-character code is used for descriptive purposes only and does not control the timing of fund deposits. Examples of possible entries for this processing option are 011305, 01 05, JAN 13, or JAN 05.

Note: If you are using the Off Set Descriptive Days processing option, you must enter this date using the MMDDYY format.

3. Off Set Descriptive Date

Specify the number of days the system should use in the offset formula to determine the date for the descriptive date. If you enter a number in this processing option, the system adds this number to the date that is entered in the Descriptive Date processing option. For example, if you enter 2 in this processing option, the actual descriptive date that is used in the prenote transaction file is the date that is entered in the Descriptive Date processing option + 2. If you leave this processing option blank or if you enter 0, the date in the Descriptive Date processing option is used.

Note: To use this feature, the date in the Descriptive Date processing option must be entered using the MMDDYY format.

4. Reference Code for Auto Deposits

Specify user-defined information that is specific to your organization. This processing option is optional.

5. Company Entry Description (10 pos.)

Specify a 10-character description of the purpose of the file that you are sending. This code is used for information purposes only and does not affect the processing or calculation of automatic deposit or prenote transaction records. Examples of codes that you might use are REG SALARY, BONUS PAY, or HOLIDAY.

6. Enter if Pre-Note is to be run in update or proof mode.

Specify the mode of processing when running the prenote transaction program. When you run this process in proof mode, the system creates a report to display the changes that will be made. When you run this process in update mode, the system updates the F060116 and F065016 tables, changing the prenote flag and adding the auto deposit start date. Values are:

0: Proof Mode

1: Update Mode
