Setting Up Payment Processing By Using the U.S. ACH Plug-In

In MYOB Acumatica, you can use the flexible U.S. ACH plug-in. The plug-in provides the flexibility to adjust ACH export settings according to known variations in customers' and banks' requirements for exported US ACH files. This flexibility includes the following capabilities:

• An offset record can be added to an ACH file.
• Addenda records can be added to an ACH file, and rules can be configured to generate the addenda description.
• The mapping of ACH fields can be changed. For example, the Company Identification remittance detail can be configured to be exported to the Immediate Origin field of the ACH file.
• The format of the File ID Modifier field of the ACH file can be adjusted (that is, it can be set to either 0-9, A-Z or A-Z, 0-9).
• The value in the Service Class Code field of the ACH file can be set to 200 (mixed debits and credits) or 220 (credits only). Also, the value in the Standard Entry Class Code field can be set to CCD (Corporate Credit or Debit) or PPD (Prearranged Payment or Deposit).
• The type of a vendor's account (savings or checking) can be specified. The system considers this type when it generates the transaction code for records of type 6 in the ACH file.

The use of the ACH plug-in provides enhanced validations, including control of the ACH export settings and verification of data validity.
