ACH file output

Direct debit for bill payments is one of the processes that use export templates. In this case the output is an ACH (Automated Clearing House) file that contains payment information to be delivered to the bank.

In Infor Public Sector, ACH file output is initiated using Create Direct Debit Run or the Direct Debit Run InfoViewer. However, ACH output can be slow, and the export can fail even if a direct debit run completed successfully. As an alternative, Infor provides a special export template and style sheet that you can use to recreate the ACH file for an existing direct debit run.

The template is called DDUseInTemplateEditorAch.xml, and the style sheet is DDUseInTemplateEditor.xslt. These can be found in the DirectDebit folder along with the rest of the sample correspondence templates. Note that to use the template you must have the correct keywords defined in Infor Public Sector, and you must already have created a direct debit run.

To generate an ACH file from the Template Editor, open DDUseInTemplateEditorAch.xml and click Test on the toolbar. Specify the style sheet in the XSLT File to transform data from XML to Text field, specify the direct debit run number in the Key value of the root object by which it will be loaded field, and click Run Test.
