Business Central - Balanced Nacha File

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5
Hello, 
 
I have seen several posts regarding issues creating a balanced Nacha File in the data exchange definitions, but nobody has been able to answer these questions with helpful information (I see video links, links to other websites, etc. but none of them cover this issue). 
 
I have three clients who are using the same bank (Coastal Community), which notified me they will now require a Balanced Nacha File. We have used the unbalanced Nacha file from Business Central for years, but I have to figure out how to add a single offsetting line to the Detail Lines (lines that start with a 6), and somehow get Business Central to recognize it as a credit rather than a debit.
 
I have been able to add a second Detail to the data exchange definition, but it adds a new line after each payment rather than a single line at the bottom of the detail. Additionally, it is not being recognized as a Credit, so the total batch/file Debits are increased by these amounts (not affecting total batch/file credits). We were able to achieve this in Dynamics NAV, so I find it hard to believe there's no option for this in Business Central.
 
If anyone has had any luck creating a data exchange definition for a balanced Nacha file, I would love to hear what has worked. 
 
Balanced Nacha File: 
 
  • Offsetting line as the final Detail Line (representing the amount coming out of the client's bank account). 
    • Record Type: 6
    • Transaction Code: 27
    • Amount: Credit amount that is equal to the sum of all Debits in the batch
  • Debits and Credits should be equal.
    • The Batch Footer 
      • Record Type: 8
      • Total Debit and Total Credit amounts should be equal
    • The File Footer
      • Record Type: 9
      • Total Debit and Total Credit amounts should be equal
 
Let me know if there's further information that could help with this. The bank has indicated that they do not have a sample file for comparison (just further complicating things).

    I don't believe bank doesn't have a sample file. without it, it would be impossible to mimic the format. Banks won't talk to partner directly so ask your customers to pest them for one.

    Did you try using the CCD Default data definition, you should not have to make any changes.
