Data Exchange Definition modification - US EFT

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 80

I am trying to modify the US EFT IAT data exchange definition layout. The standard file has a Batch Header and FIle Header row, I am trying to remove one of these header rows so there is only one. When I do that, I receive an error which is pictured below. It does not matter what field I have in the last position in my header, the message is the same:

"Reference must have a value in ACH US Header: Data Exch. Entry No.=303. It cannot be zero or empty."

Reference is the field in the last position of my header, and 303 is the entry number in the table. If I change the field in the last position of my header to "Effective Date" the message would say:

"Effective Date must have a value in ACH US Header: Data Exch. Entry No.=303. It cannot be zero or empty."

Has anyone been able to successfully modify a NACHA file in Business Central and only have one header row appear when the file is generated?

    Mike,

    In the Data Exchange Definition, US EFT IAT, Header B has an Effective Date field and value that would be required in the layout.

    I have created NACHA EFT Data Exchange Definition files to a few banks and I normally start with US EFT Default, unless the Bank mandates the IAT format. The US EFT DEFAULT follows many Banks and I added the Addendum 7 level loop when required.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
