ACH Originator Setup Report ODFI This report provides selected batch level information to assist ODFIs in identifying originators that are receiving returns, operator rejects and NOCs.

The reports are available in human-readable (PDF, TXT, HTML) formats.
ACH Payment Data Information File Receiver This machine-readable file contains the raw payment-related information that may be contained in certain ACH addenda records. Receivers with compatible accounts receivable systems can use this file to automatically post and close open receivable items in their accounting systems. This straight-through processing (STP) option could result in significant time savings and error avoidance when compared to using the human-readable reports that require manual accounting entries.

Two machine-readable file options are available. The first is an as-is text extract of the Payment Data Information areas from the addenda records. The second is a fully Nacha-formatted file that contains the Payment Data Information along with entry and batch information. If “All SEC Codes” is selected for the TXT format, the report will only include entries with addenda. If one or more SEC Codes are selected, only entries with addenda for the selected SEC Code(s) are included. If “All SEC Codes” is selected for the ACH format, the report will include entries with and without addenda. If one or more SEC Codes are selected, only entries with addenda for the selected SEC Code(s) are included.

These files are eligible for incorporation of On-us Inclusion entries. These files contain payment and prenotification entries. Returns and NOCs are excluded.

These reports are eligible for incorporation of On-us Inclusion entries for receiver-level information. The detail report contains the necessary information needed by health care providers.

Receivers and originators may find this information valuable in helping them easily understand the information that is exchanged between trading partners via the ACH network. Receivers can use this information to match payments to open accounts receivable entries.

ODFIs may establish this report for their originators to assist them with validation, tracking and auditing purposes. The reports are available in human-readable (PDF, TXT, HTML) formats.

Note that if the receiver has an accounts receivable system that can import a machine-readable file of this information, then perhaps the “Payment Data Information File” would be a more useful option.

ACH Return Ratio Report ODFI
Originator
This report provides summary level information to help ODFIs and/or originators monitor return item activity. The report can be generated for originators and third party senders by specifying the Company ID(s) that are associated with that business entity. The report can be automatically generated on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. ODFIs may find this report useful in helping them meet the Nacha return rate threshold rules. The report shows dollar and entry counts in total and by SEC codes. To assist in complying with the Nacha rule requirement, the report shows the percent of debit forward monetary entries returned.

This report reflects monetary entries occurring within the selected time period. Therefore, the original entries that resulted in the “Returned Items” represented in the report may not be represented in the “Originated Items” section of the report. Non-monetary entries (prenotification, NOCs, DNEs, ENRs…) are excluded from the counts. Dishonored returns are included in the counts.

A configurable option directs the report to review up to 60 previous calendar days or two calendar months of activity and summarizes a number of key fields. Other configurable options allow the DFI to request separate report pages to show returns categorized as unauthorized, invalid/admin, all, and any specified return code(s) of interest. The DFI can also configure the report to be suppressed if no return items are identified.

Another configurable option allows a page to be generated that shows all unique company names encountered during the reporting period selected. This could be helpful in identifying originators that use a single Company ID to originate for different companies.

The reports are available in human-readable (PDF, TXT, HTML) formats.

The Originator Name will be blank if the corresponding Originator ID has not been established in the FedPayments Reporter Service for FedACH or has been entered incorrectly. A blank may also help identify Originator IDs that are flowing through FedACH that could perhaps be setup in the service.

Options are available to show information at the entire ABA level or limit the information to a particular originator. The report can be automatically generated on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. On-demand options are available for the previous month, for current month-to-date, and for up to a 10 business day range within the previous 60 processing days.

The reports may be valuable for operational, management, marketing, and audit purposes. The reports enable users to view and validate configuration information established in the service.
