ACH Format Export Error: Company Descriptive Date field must have a value in ACH US HEADER

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I'm trying to generate an EFT export file but I've stumbled upon an error that I cannot find a solution for. When I try to click Generate EFT files in export dialog, it gives me the following error: 

Company Descriptive Date must have a value in ACH US Header: Data Exch. Entry No.=12. It cannot be zero or empty.

I'd really appreciate any help or assistance in resolving this error!

Best,

    Awkward one to debug when not using the debugger. I'd have a look at the data exchange definition process. So what objects are included. I know GB so will make some assumptions here. On the bank account you may have an export object that is stipulated. That will then reference what data from the journal lines gets mapped to other tables. It must be the source data that is missing something.

    As an aide with the data exchange definition you can get it to add substitute values or recondition data like a blank to something. Possible worth reviewing if my assumption on the source data pans out to anything.

    Josh,

    I tried looking for the field in source data that will be populated on the ACH header but of course I couldn't figure out where that field is supposed to be. Also, I couldn't find any answers anywhere on the internet. This is strange.

    Hi,

    So I figured out how to avoid the issue but not the solution to the problem. Vendor card information page, in the Payments tab, I had the field "Partner type" set to "Company". Setting it back to blank solved the issue for me. I still have no idea how to resolve the issue with previous setup, but the issue is gone now so I'm happy for now.

    I am having this same issue and no matter what option I choose on the Partner type on the vendor it fails with the same error with the exception of the entry no. is different every time.  I cannot Generate the EFT file.  
     
    Any help would be highly appreciated

    I can tell that the codeunit assigns the workdate to this field and there is no other option, but I can't say why it does not do it.
