Chase Bank NACHA Data Exchange Definition

Posted on by DS-07072328-0

Hello,

In D365 Business Central (cloud--version 26.1), I am needing to create a Data Exchange Definition for JPMorgan Chase Bank using their NACHA standards (attached specs from Chase).

This is for exporting the EFT file on a Payment Journal to upload ACH payments to Chase Bank.

Does anyone have any experience with building the Data Exchange Definition out for Chase Bank, or have a working XML import file? The need is urgent for the client.

Thanks for your help!

Hi

BC (cloud, version 26.1) supports Data Exchange Definitions for EFT exports, and Chase’s specifications follow standard NACHA formatting with a few institution-specific requirements.

Here’s how you can configure the definition correctly:

1. Create a New Data Exchange Definition

Navigate to Data Exchange Definitions

Configure a new definition with:

Direction: Export

File Type: Fixed Text

Encoding: ASCII

Processing Codeunit: 1221 (US EFT Export)

Format Name: CHASE_NACHA

2. Define Required Line Types Based on Chase’s Format: Your export file must include:

File Header Record (Type 1)

Batch Header Record (Type 5)

Entry Detail Record (Type 6)

Addenda Record (Type 7) – optional, for remittance/memo data

Batch Control Record (Type 8)

File Control Record (Type 9)

Ensure each line definition matches field positions and required values per the Chase spec. For example, use Service Class Code 220 for credits or 225 for debits, and set Immediate Destination Name as "JPMORGAN CHASE".

3. Column Definitions & Field Mapping
Each record type requires fixed-length fields with proper alignment:

Numeric fields: right-justified, zero-padded

Alphanumeric fields: left-justified, space-filled

Mandatory fields include routing numbers, account numbers, and company identifiers

Map fields to journal values (Vendor Name, Bank Account No., Routing No., Payment Amount, Memo fields, etc.)

4. Assign Format in Bank Export Setup

Go to Bank Export/Import Setup

Create a new entry linked to your data exchange definition

Assign the format to the relevant Bank Account Card to ensure it’s used during EFT export

Additional Tips

Do not include offset records or pre-note transactions—Chase does not accept balanced files

Company Discretionary Data must contain the Chase account number in a 20-digit zero-padded format

Ensure Effective Entry Date is set at least one business day ahead of the file creation date

I actually just did this for another client. Chase's documentation is good, so took about two hours to build it out. I can't provide client content for free, but feel free to reach out directly if you want to discuss options.
