This screen is used to receive an ACH Transmission from the Feds or a third-party vendor. The transactions are translated to the file ACHSUS (ACH warehouse file) in the credit union’s FILExx library.  The warehouse file (also called the ‘suspense’ file) stores the transactions until they are ready to be posted to the member accounts.  This file may contain items which have a settlement date in the future, and thus are not typically posted until a later date. 

Enter an ACH Transmission date and use Process Now to receive and translate incoming ACH items to the ACH warehouse file.

The debits and credits are calculated, and a screen prompt will display total debits and credits of current day’s transaction file.  Once the file has been verified, check the ‘File in Balance’ button. 

PRECAUTION:    If the ACH file isn’t in balance, do not check the ‘File in Balance’ button to prevent erroneous transactions.  This is the recovery procedure to help prevent duplications when the wrong ACH file is uploaded.  If the ‘File in Balance’ button was selected and the file is out of balance, please contact Client Service Department for assistance before continuing.
