Import a NACHA File Without Using a Template

NACHA transfers are generated from files that conform to the standard format as defined by the Federal Reserve in the NACHA ACH File Exchange specifications. These files typically have the "ACH" file extension. The Import ACH Transfer function for NACHA files enables you to import a stored NACHA transfer file without validating it against the fields of an existing NACHA template.

ACH users who do not have access to stored templates can only import files without using a template. The import process does not display a Template field for these users.
