Sage 100

ACH payroll question - Sage 100 ERP 2013. The user's bank is asking for a 0 to be placed in front of the 9 character immediate destination. The main issue is that the Immediate Destination field in ACH setup is only 9 characters. So no opportunity to stick a 0 in front. Have you encountered this request before - and if so have you been able to make the change (and how)?

Suppose you could just manually edit the ACH file.

Put the character desired in this field. Wrassled with this a few months back....

The problem is that they want the 0 before the Immediate Destination -- and there isn't a similar field for that.

That IS the field for that.

Even though it says Immediate Origin?

Aaaahhhh,, The little stuff. Not sure now. Does the bank have the correct terminolgy???

They sent me an image of what it should look like. It's the first request I've had for Immediate Destination.

Found this in the old KB #110-514802 Subject: Bank or financial institution has rejected the ACH file because character positions 4-13 in Record Type 1 are incorrect. Possible Resolution: In a Direct Deposit ACH file the Immediate Destination number is located within Record Type 1, character positions 4 thru 13 and is allocated 10 characters in an ACH file. However only 9 characters are used and the number input in most cases follows the Transit/ABA format of 8 digits + 1 check digit. Obtain the correct Immediate Destination number to use from your financial institution. So what is in position 4 in your file? Is it blank?

So this is indeed a possibility, what is so difficult about adding another field to the set up file for it???? Oh, I remember, it is WORK!!!!!
