Issue/Symptom/Question

In the new company's ACH file there are 3 rows with all 9's as the last 3 rows in the file, but in the previous ACH files that were created, that doesn't happen. We are assuming the 9's should not be there. 

Applies To

Accounts Payable > Check Processing > Automated Check Processing > Create AP Direct Deposit File

Resolution/Fix/Answer

The ACH requirements state that the submitted file has to contain a minimum of 10 total lines, and if the file is less than this, the final lines to make up this total will be all 9s.  

Therefore, any file that has less than 10 lines for the included vendors will have these filler lines created automatically in Penta.
