3.1.8 Support for US ACH Standing Instructions

New SI templates, PNDOTSTM and PNDODSTM, along with the related REST API services (/achNachaCreditTxnSI and /achNachaDebitTxnSI), have been introduced for the creation of US ACH Credit and Debit standing instructions. Frequency details can now be included within the SI template, allowing the system to automatically generate a corresponding standing instruction maintenance record in Standing Instruction Maintenance (PMDSIMNT) based on the specified frequency.

Additional SI features such as generating standing instructions a specified number of days before the execution date, as well as options to skip, defer, or suspend SI execution, are also supported for US ACH standing instructions.

API support is available for template query and modification operations through the following services:
  • /achNachaCreditTxnModifySI
  • /achNachaCreditTxnQuerySI
  • /achNachaDebitTxnModifySI
  • /achNachaDebitTxnQuerySI

Standing Instruction Maintenance Screen Changes

Following changes are done in Standing Instruction Maintenance screen (Function ID: PMDSIMNT):
  • A new frequency type, Semi-Monthly, has been added to the Frequency Type drop-down list.
  • The field Frequency has been relabeled to Recur Every (Day(s)/Week(s)/Month(s) based on Frequency).
  • A new field, Monthly SI Execution Date(s) has been introduced to support the Semi-Monthly frequency.

    The first date defaults to the Instruction Start Day and is populated for both Monthly and Semi-Monthly frequencies. The second date field (only date dd format) is enabled only when Semi-Monthly is selected and is mandatory field for this frequency.

  • The field Number of Payments is relabeled to Number of Occurrences.
