ACH Universal Self Guided Tour
ACH Universal allows you to take any text file, Excel spreadsheet, or other file and convert it into an
Automated Clearing House (ACH), NACHA approved file.
Automatically pay vendors and employees, as well as collect from customers. You can also transfer funds
between your accounts - even if they are in different banks.
ACH Universal works with all major accounting packages, billing systems, and payroll systems, as well as with
all US Banks accepting NACHA formatted files.
ACH Universal is part of Treasury Software's Treasury Desktop (licensed individually).
'Daily Use' section
1. Home Page - Selecting a file to import
Start the Import Wizard.
2. Universal Import Wizard
ACH Universal imports from every major accounting package
in the market, including files in: Excel, Access, ASCII Text: Fixed Width,
ASCII Text: Comma Separated Values, and ASCII Text: Tab Delimited.
These files are generated from standard system reports in the accounting, payroll,
billing -- or any other package -- and then saved to disk.
Map once, multiple templates
You only need to map the file once - the system automatically saves the mapping.
The system can store mappings from multiple files; and you'll have full control over
any updates.
Checks for invalid records
During the import process, the system checks for invalid records. This enables the use
of standard reports from existing systems.
3. Creating and Transmitting the ACH file (one-click)
After you have imported your file(s), and added any manual records (if needed) - click the 'Transmit Now' button
to create and transmit the file.
Creates and transmits the ACH file, as an example shows below:
4. Reports
ACH Universal allows you to produce a variety of industry standard reports, including a full log of
all imports and transmissions.
All reports can be exported to:
• Microsoft Excel, or
• HTML format.
The reporting engine includes 'Microsoft Outlook Style' grouping to enable
drill-down and analytical reviews.
Congratulations. You've completed the
'Daily Use' section of the tour.
Unique Features:
5. Email notification
Emails can be automatically sent notifying the parties of their upcoming transactions.
Of course, each email only
contains the information specific to the recipient's ACH record.
The email message contains a basic 'tag' language and can be modified as needed.
6. Profiles
A file will typically contain at a minimum: amount, recipient, ABA and account number.
However, many accounting packages and legacy systems lack the ability to store the ABA,
account number, and other ACH related information.
To overcome this common limitation, ACH Universal has the ability to store this information in a profile.
ACH transactions can be imported using a simple two-column file.
The Name (or ID) can be used as a lookup field - and the balance of the information will be populated.
Multiple profiles can be imported in batches at any time, or added/edited one at a time.
7. Manual Entry
Sometimes, only a handful of entries are needed and manual input is preferred over an imported file.
Setup
8. ACH Setup Wizard
The ACH Setup Wizard quickly and easily walks you through the setup procedure.
Create and transmit files in any of the following NACHA formats:
9. Transmission Options
ACH Universal is capable of transmitting ACH files via Web Upload, FTP, or email. In addition,
security options include:
• PGP automation - Fully encrypts and signs files (requires PGP)
• SSL
• Nonstandard FTP port numbers, local and remote firewalls.
Set your options to your bank's preferences on this screen to automate the transmission
procedure.
