Setting Up Automatic Payment Extracts

You will need an automatic payment extract for every mechanism your company uses to route automatic payment requests to a financial institution / clearing house. For example:

  • You will need an automatic payment extract to interface records to the Automated Clearing House (ACH) if you allow customer to pay via credit card or direct debit from a checking account. The APAYACH and C1-APACH processes delivered with the system are intended to be used to handle this function.

If you need additional automatic payment extract processes, set up the following information:

  • Add a new batch control record. Populate the fields as follows:
  • Batch Process. Assign an easily recognizable unique ID for the automatic payment extract process.
  • Description. Enter a description of the automatic payment extract process.
  • Accumulate All Instances. Turn this switch on.
  • Use Auto Pay Route Type to define the auto pay extract process to be used for each route type.
