Hello
I’ve read the previous ACH posting (2020 and older), but do not see my question.
I would prefer to test the ACH bank file in PILOT. Does this actually move money to the supplier if the file is accepted by the bank? If it does, should I test it in LIVE with an actual invoice to a supplier? Any suggestions for testing?
Thank you
Marsha
If a bank accepts an ACH file, money moves for sure. Even if it’s only a penny.
Your bank should have a testing mechanism in place for this. You may have to manually submit the files, but every bank I’ve dealt with has a way to send a file and let you know if its format is acceptable.
Call you bank’s technical support group and they should be able to help you.
I usually test it this way, then when I’m ready to move it to Prod, I send myself a penny, after notifying accounting of course.
Sounds like the plot of Office Space.
@mfoxx There are a couple of things you can do and @MikeGross’s suggestion of calling your bank support is good. In the ACH format there is a test flag that you can set. In our bank there are a couple of steps of uploading and an approval has to happen before the file is processed. I would recommend doing a small batch of vendors and checks so you can review the structure of the file produced.
Hi Greg, In Kinetic how do we trigger generation of the ACH file?
In AP Payment Entry when Process Payment is done the ACH file will be created on the server in the Company folder location that was made in the EI Payment setup.
You will need to use server download to get the file
