We have changed our payroll bank account and are trying to send the test file to our bank. The system tells us the following:
"This process will create a "test" ACH file. It will have only five employees. The amounts will be 999999.99. Etc.
The problem is this for almost 5 million dollars and we can't send to our bank for that much. Is there a way to change the amount?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Joy,
When the file is created, it should go to the location you have specified in the "Path to ACH File" field in the DD Setup screen - ACH File Setup tab. The name of the file is in the "ACH File Name field". You could bring it up in Notepad and modify it.
In any event, you should notify your bank that you are only sending a test file and they should take no action on it.
Here are the steps for the test process:
1. In DD Setup, select ACH Test to set the Direct Deposit module to the 'test' mode. The purpose of this function is to produce a test ACH file to send to the Company's bank to verify compliance with the bank requirements and the communications setup.
2. When using the Create and Send ACH process and ACH Test is selected, normal processing is bypassed and a special test ACH file is created and sent to the bank.
3. Advise the bank before sending the test file so that the bank deposit and withdrawal accounts will not be posted.
4. After the bank confirms this test file as correct, this procedure is not used again unless there is a change of banks, communication software, etc. This test does not apply to any pre-note sent to the bank for individual Employees.
5. Once the ACH file format has been successfully tested, deselect ACH Test for normal processing.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
