Setting up a bank for Credit ACH

For electronic AP payment remittance, if you are enabling Credit ACH, you must complete the fields in the CenPOS Processing and Credit ACH sections. CenPOS provides you with some of the information to be specified in these fields. Contact your CenPOS representative.

If you are creating a new bank, see the online Help for setting up a bank.

  1. Select Check Reconciliation > Setup > Bank.
  2. Specify the bank, select Active in Status field, and then click Search.
  3. In the grid, drill down to show the bank record.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. In the CenPOS Processing section, specify this information:
    Merchant ID
    Specify the default merchant ID assigned and provided by CenPOS. Contact your CenPOS representative. Merchant ID is an ID that is assigned to the distributor by CenPOS. The Merchant ID is used by CenPOS to identify the bank account where the distributor's payment is to be withdrawn.
    Note: The merchant ID information here is only necessary if this merchant ID is different than the merchant ID in SA Credit Card Processor Setup. The ID is specified in Processor Vendor ID in SA Credit Card Processor Setup-Required-Processor, or in Merchant ID in CR Bank Setup-Credit ACH. The default is the Processor Vendor ID. The default is overridden by any value specified in Merchant ID in CR Bank Setup-Credit ACH. You would use the override to pay a vendor from one bank, and pay a different vendor from another bank. You must set up a different Merchant ID for each bank.
    Note: You may be setting up Credit ACH with CenPOS, and setting up another service with CenPOS such as Positive Pay. If they both apply to the same bank account, you are required to have a merchant ID, user ID, and user password loaded on the CR Bank Setup record. If they use separate bank accounts in the same bank, we recommend you set up separate CR Bank Setup records: one for Credit ACH and one for Positive Pay.
    Merchant User ID
    Specify the user ID provided by CenPOS for this association. This information enables CenPOS to pass the full credentials when creating a Credit ACH payment request transaction.
    Merchant User PW
    Specify the user password provided by CenPOS for this association. This information enables CenPOS to pass the full credentials when creating a Credit ACH payment request transaction.
  6. In the Credit ACH section, specify this information:
    Payment Type
    Select your Credit ACH payment type. This list is populated only with values from SA Table Code Value Setup-Payment Type, that have the option, Payment Type is Credit ACH, selected. You must specify the Credit ACH payment type for this bank. Specifying this payment type links the bank to the processor associated with the Payment Type in SA Table Code Value Setup.
    Last Credit ACH Number
    Accept the default 1.
    Last Credit ACH Date
    Accept the default date.
  7. Click Save.
