ACH File Addition

Enterprise SOAP API > API by Reference > Core Services > ACH File Addition

ACH File Addition

ACH File Addition is a jXchange service designed to allow consumers to add a NACHA standard-formatted file.

Message Flow

In jXchange, the ACH File Addition service uses a typical exchange of MType messages to allow consumers to add a NACHA standard-formatted file.

Primary Request

The consumer forwards the ACHFileAddRq_MType message to the service provider.

The message contains the following simple elements:

  • ACHFileConsmRefId
  • ACHNACHAFile
  • FraudRefId
  • ValidateOnly

The message contains the following complex elements:

  • Custom_CType
  • MsgRqHdr_CType

Primary Response

The service provider returns the ACHFileAddRs_MType message to the consumer.

The message contains the following simple elements:

  • ACHFileRefId
  • RsStat

The message contains the following complex elements:

  • Custom_CType
  • MsgRsHdr_CType

ACH File Addition Behavior

The ACH File Addition (ACHFileAdd) service behavior is as follows.

The ACH File Addition root request message (ACHFileAddRq_MType) provides optionally the ACH File Consumer Reference Identifier (ACHFileConsmRefId) or ACH NACHA File (ACHNACHAFile) and Validate Only (ValidateOnly) simple elements.

The Validate Only simple element (ValidateOnly) allows a consumer to convey to the service provider not to process the ACH file but only validate the content to determine if the file meets current NACHA format tenets.

The ACH File Addition root response message (ACHFileAddRs_MType) returns the ACH File Reference Identifier (ACHFileRefId) that the service provider generates.

The standard Addition message tenets are applicable.

Adhere to the tenets related to the JHANull attribute.

Adhere to the tenets for fault reporting.

Adhere to the tenets related to the correlation identifications.
