C1-APACH - Download Automatic Payments To The ACH (Automated Clearing House)

This process is an alternative to using APAYACH. Similar to APAYACH, this process reads all auto pay download staging records marked with a given batch control ID and run number, and creates the flat file that's passed to the ACH. Refer to ACH Record Layouts for the details of the record layouts.

The following outlines the differences between APAYACH and C1-APACH:

• C1-APACH populates the Effective Entry Date field on the Company Batch Header Record with a date (the actual draft date) as to when the payment should be withdrawn from the customer's account. APAYACH uses the Business Process Date as the draft date.
• C1-APACH produces a file with multiple occurrences of the Company Batch Header Record differing on the Effective Entry Date field and payment source (if multiples payment sources exist). APAYACH produces a file that has one File Header Record, a Company Batch Header Record per payment source (if multiple payment sources exist), and multiple detail lines.

If you require a different flat file format, you must create additional versions of this program. Refer to Setting Up Automatic Payment Extracts for instructions describing how to add another process.
