SSN on Payroll ACH file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Client is using SSN for employee ID (we know that's an issue all unto itself but it was a legacy conversion.)  Direct Deposit ACH file includes employee ID so ends up with SSN embedded.  Is there a way to alter the create and send ACH process to mask the employee ID numbers in the ACH file?  SL V2011.  (ps they do have a plan to change all Employee IDs to a non-SSN number but that piece is moving slowly)

    The create ACH process creates the actual ACH line in the code of the program so there is no way for you to alter how it inserts the employee id.  The only way I can think of to do this would be to create an external program to read the created ACH file and mask out the employee id.  This would not be a hard program to create as the ACH file is a fixed position text file with the employee id starting in column 40 of the type 6 records (the record type is the first character of each line).

    I would not suggest trying to manually edit this file because it is a fixed position file an hand editing can easily alter the position of characters in a line resulting in a rejected file.

    There is a part of the Professional Service Tools Library (PSTL)  that changes an employee ID.

    It is available for download from PartnerSource. While there used to be a charge for each section, now it is all free to the VAR.

    Thanks Elaine,

    That was my first suggestion--unfortunately rejected.  I used Rick's message as motivation to use my SL VB skills for something outside of SL and wrote a little standalone program to read the ach and write a "newach.txt" without the emp ID.  Too easy.  But i'll still press the client to eventually use PSTL to fix this "correctly."
