A new preference field, Debit Mandate Validation has been added to the US ACH Network Preference (PNDNWPRF) to indicate whether mandate validation is required for ACH Debit receipts. If the Debit Mandate Validation preference is set to No, the mandate check is skipped for inbound ACH debit transactions.

Note: In Inbound US ACH Debit Transaction Input (PNDIDONL), the Authorization ID (Mandate ID) field is not mandatory if Debit Mandate Validation is not applicable for the network.
