Issue/Symptom/Question

We need to change the file format to “unbalanced” for our ACH files. We are unsure how to accomplish this in Penta.

Accounts Payable ACH Files

Accounts Payable > Setup > Direct Deposit Transmission Information

Resolution/Fix/Answer

In the Accounts Payable > Setup > Direct Deposit Transmission Information window, the field "Create Debit Transactions Records" lets you indicate (with a Y for yes or an N for no) whether PENTA creates a “balanced” direct deposit file containing both debit and credit records—should a bank require this type of file. Setting the field to "N" creates an unbalanced direct deposit file.
