Overview

 

ACH2Excel is a utility included with ACH Universal used to convert an ACH file to an Excel spreadsheet (.xls).  You can use it through ACH Universal or through the command line.

To specify file output options, click Output to open the Output tab (Figure 2 below).

 

 

To output the conversion to a specific click, enable the Output to 'csv' file located in the directory checkbox, then click the button to browse to the appropriate directory.

 

To import the converted file into ACH Universal for further processing (such as an ACH Return File for Returns), enable the checkbox.

Turn on/off appropriate settings. From the main menu 'File', 'ACH File Conversion', 'Output' tab - unselect open in Excel afterwards.

 
Notes for all applications:
· The order of the parameters is not significant
· Capitalization is not significant
· When specifying a file name (SRCE), use the full file path and name within quotes. When using mapped drives, remember that the path should be centric/relative to the machine where Treasury Desktop is located, not the machine issuing the trigger/command.
· Place the account name in quotes.

Working with multiple users and multiple account:
Each command line trigger - will create an independent instance of the application. There is no limit to the number of instances.
 
If processing simultaneous command line requests, use different accounts (Sample1, Sample2, etc...) to minimize any record locking issues. If this is not an alternative, consider processing sequentially, or using our Control Panel.
