Overview

 

The file that you are importing should be in Excel, comma delimited (csv), tab delimited or another tabular format.  In addition, if you are using ACH Universal Corporate or above, you can also import an ACH file.
See Gathering Data for more information.

 

From the ACH Universal Home Page, click the Import Transactions icon.

 

 

To start the Import Wizard click on 'Import Transactions'.

Browse to select a file, or 'copy and paste' from Excel.

Tip: Browse to select a file is much faster and efficient in large imports.

Click Next.

 

 

The ACH Transaction Column Mapping screen will be displayed (below).

 

 

Mapping
In a typical scenario, you will need to map the following fields:

Name

Bank_Account_Number

ABA_Routing_Number

Amount or Amount_Reverse_Sign

Checking_or_Savings

 

In addition, you will most likely also add:
Date

ID_Number

 

 

Pay, don't collect your payroll - use Amount_Reverse_Sign when needed
Negative amounts decrease your balance, and represent payments out to employees and vendors.
Positive amounts increase your balance, and typically represent collections from customers and others.

If the Excel or other file that you are importing is displaying the amounts in positive format, and the transactions represent payments out - then map the field as Amount_Reverse_Sign.  This has the effect of multiplying the amount by a negative 1.

 

Afterwards, click Next.

 

 

Review Records

This screen will display a list of the importable rows and invalid rows. Expand the summary rows to view the detail by clicking on the  “+” sign as shown below.

 

 

Click 'Next' to complete the Wizard.
