Account Setup

Form the Settings tab select 'ACH Setup'.  Note: If you are using a version prior to 2013.  From the main menu of ACH Universal select 'File' > 'ACH Setup', and complete through screen 3 of 7 as you would for any account.

 

On screen 4 of 6, select the radio button 'CTX-EDI Subsets' and select from the pull down menu the subset you want to work with.  If you are unsure of the subset, leave the default presented - you can change it any time.

 

On screen 6 of 6, select the 'CTX' tab and enter your Federal ID, DUNS, or other identifying number as required by your Trading Partner (CTX receiver).  Again, if unsure, leave blank for now - you can modify at any time.  Click 'Finish' to save your work and close the ACH Setup Wizard.

 

 

Setting up a Payee Profile

From the main menu select 'Edit', 'Add/Edit Customers, Employees and Vendors'.  Click on the Plus sign on the toolbar to add a new record.

 

Name:  Enter the name which will appear on your import file.  Example: If you are paying an office supply company and their company name (which appears on each line item of the detailed report you are using as an input file) is 'Office Depot', enter that here.

 

Account # and ABA routing number - Using our previous example, enter the office supply company's information here.

 

ID number - This is for your records - enter your internal vendor number here.  Using our example, it may be 'OfficeDepot001'.  Note: Very often, this entry is simply the same as the Name.

 

Checking or Saving - Leave as Checking unless instructed otherwise by your Trading Partner.

 

ID Type and Number - Enter as provided by your Trading Partner.

 

Origination - Leave blank.

 

Application - Select 'CTX - Create EDI' if it is not already displayed.

 

Click 'Save' to close the window and update your modifications.
