AX Payment file format

Posted on by Jingjing

We need to create an ACH payment file out of AX that can be imported into our US bank portal.

The file-format in AX is called “NACHA (US)” and it is assigned to the method of payment “ACH”. The file format NACHA (US) also requires a selection in the “payment specification”-field and

I choose “Standard NACHA PPD”.

But when I tried to import it into the US bank portal I received an error that there is an issue with the record length in our ACH test file. Our bank provided a NACHA ACH payment file sample, unfortunately, the sample looks slightly different to our payment file generated from AX.

Any insight will be helpful and I appreciate any advice.

Hi Jingjing,

Which exact version of AX 2012 are you running? I'm not familiar with this file format, but probably there are some changes which are updated in the latest version of AX 2012.

Thanks Andre.

We are using Microsoft AX 2012. Our European companies do not have issue when they generate payment file from AX 2012 and import to European banks. We are using the same ERP system. Not sure why this happen.

Hello Jingiing,

The 'old' payment file format configuration that is available in AX2012 is something that cannot be adjusted without the help of a developer. If the format does not fit the requirements of your bank then I would recommend to talk to a technical expert (developer) in your company who could possibly help you with that.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Jingjing,

The European companies are, I think, not using the NACHA (US), but another format.

You didn't answer the question which exact version of AX 2012 you are using. There were multiple main releases and several cumulative updates. Are you using AX 2012, AX 2012 R2 or AX 2012 R3 and with what exact CU?
