This article will help you setup the standard Ally ACH Floorplan - this is a Onetime Setup


Solution


This is the Initial Onetime Auction Setup of Ally ACH in menu path 6-27-3 


  1. Within the Ally ACH menu, go to Option 2 (6-27-3-2) to enter auction-specific information: 

    1. The immediate destination is the auctions’ bank 

    2. The immediate origin and company id represents the auction. This information will be provided by the auction’s bank 

    3. The ODFI account can be left blank 

    4. The Invoice Code will be provided by Ally 

    5. Most banks do not require a balanced ACH. Use ‘N’ by default. Change it to ‘Y’ if the auction’s bank makes a request. 

    6. The auction will determine the pay type. Reference 6-20-8-1 for all pay types representing  Auction Access (AA) floor plans. The pay code for Ally should be the same.



  2. Use menu path 6-27-3-10 to set up Ally branch banking information . The information will be provided to the auction by Ally. Recently Ally switched all branches to the same account number.

    1. Use F6 function to add the branch, then the F4 function will display the list


  1. Verify the ACH directory exists on the network (ACH Shortcut on the user desktop)

  2. Utilize a $1 test file to test the application with the auction’s bank 

    Please note: Banks move at their own pace. It can take days, if not weeks, to work through testing and implementation with banks.
