Pre-notification Export

Navigate: Closed Tax > Accounts Receivable > ACH Processing > Pre-notification Export

Description

Create the export file for an ACH cycle to send the pre-notification transactions through the banking system. The pre-notifications can include either all active records or just the ones that have been changed as of a date that you designate.

NOTE: Bank Account Number Encryption is available for bank accounts numbers and is established with a special script. Contact your Aumentum Implementation team for details. When creating a new bank account, and when adding/maintaining a bank account associated a legal party (Common Action - Taxpayer ACH Information > Maintain Tax Payer ACH Information), the account number is encrypted upon saving and closing the screen. When re-opening a screen with the bank account number, the number is not shown but an encryption is displayed instead.

SETUP: See ACH Processing for any applicable prerequisites, dependencies and setup information for this task.

Steps

    If you select updated records, an additional as of date field appears. Select or type the date.

  2. Enter a File name for the export file.

  3. Select the ACH cycle from the Description panel.

  4. Click Process to begin the batch process.

    • Click Close to end the task.

Tips

The report shows the taxpayer, bank account number (masked), and account number.

The file is submitted to the originating bank after it is created. It precedes the file of ACH export that includes the amounts.

Transaction codes are:

  • 28 Checking Pre-notification

  • 38 Savings Pre-notification

The block count of the export file is based on the number of records and the blocking factor. For example, a file containing 20 records has a block count of 2. The blocking factor of 10 is set by NACHA, the publisher of the ACH file format. It cannot be changed.
