Notification of Change - Manually adding records

Once you have setup a 'Notification Of Changes' account, you can enter transactions that you have received from other financial institutions.

Creating a Notification Of Changes record

1. Access the 'Add Record(s)' Window

Enter into the 'Notification Of Changes' account within ACH Universal.

From the ACH Universal main menu select 'Edit', 'Add Record(s)'.

2a. Recommended method - copy and paste from the original ACH instructions

Open the original ACH transaction in a text editor such as Notepad.  Locate and copy the transaction.  Note: Transaction records start with a '6'.

Click on the 'Paste Detail' (2nd link).  This will automatically populate the necessary fields for your detail.

Then, return to the text editor and locate the batch header for this transaction.  Copy the batch header.  Return to the 'Add Record(s)' window and click on the 'Paste Header' (1st link).  This will automatically populate the necessary fields for your header information.

Below is a sample batch header (row starting with '5') and transaction line (row starting with '6').  We have included the first two lines as a ruler to help with the column positions (1 through 94).  Of course, the ruler rows are not part of the ACH file.

2b. Manually enter the original ACH information - not recommended

Alternatively, you may manually enter the information into the window.  Please note that this method is not recommended, as the information must be EXACTLY as originally transmitted.  Any typographic error may result in a rejection of your Notification Of Change.

3. Notification Of Changes Code

On the bottom left of the 'Add Record(s)' window, select the Notification Of Change Code (ie. incorrect account number, incorrect ABA number, etc...).  Enter the correct information to the right of the code.  Click 'Save' when finished.

When finished ....

Create and transmit the records from this account.  Please remember that these records will be in a separate file from your 'regular' ACH transactions, and the file will have a different name (see 'File', 'Options', 'Transmit to Bank', 'Local File' for the name and location of this file).

Notes:

--Notification Of Changes are created in the 'Add Record(s)' window and may be edited/modified before transmittal.

--Notification Of Change transactions are batched within the file with a transaction type of 'COR'.
