Place Stop Pay on ACH Distribution

These steps explain how to place a stop pay on a company ACH distribution so that the distribution does not hit the member's account.

  1. Launch Tool #989 Work With ACH Members/Companies.

  2. Enter the member’s account number.

  3. Click the forward arrow.

  4. Select a previous ACH transaction from the desired company in the list.

  5. Click Update.

  6. From the list, select the distribution with a sequence number of 99.

  7. Click Change.

  8. In the Distribution type field on the ACH Distribution Maintenance screen, enter a distribution code of "08" (Payment Stopped).

    • This will stop the ACH from posting indefinitely.

    • If the ACH only needs to be stopped once, then the distribution type must be updated to its original status using the steps above.

  9. Click Add/Update.
