ACH Transfers – Unique Fields
The ACH User Interface Program extends the ability to generate, import, edit, review, approve, and delete NACHA and Non-NACHA formatted ACH transfers. When you are working with ACH transfers there are certain fields that apply across most of the ACH transfer types. Subsequently, the majority of the ACH transfer types that you generate or import populate the user interface in the same fashion regardless of activity you are undertaking. However, the ACH User Interface also includes a number of transfer types that make use of fields that are unique to that particular transfer type.
The following sections display on this page:

This structure is comprised of a number of elements that communicate information about the child support payment and the payer.
