Dispatch File Generation

The existing maintenance ACH Dispatch Preferences (Function ID: PMDACHDP) and ACH Dispatch Parameters Function ID:PMDACHDP) is applicable for ACH DD too. The following Dispatch File type are added in ACH Dispatch Parameters:
  • Originated DD - Payment

The Dispatch file is generated in pacs.003.001.08 format. All the messages irrespective of the Value Date is bulked in a single file. In a Dispatch cycle, multiple files are generated for the same Network based on the maximum File size, Number of transactions and Maximum Settlement Amount allowed for the Network as maintained in ACH Dispatch Parameters PMDDISPR.

It is possible to invoke Dispatch job using an external scheduler (similar to the support available in ACH CT).

Dispatch Accounting is applicable if Dispatch Accounting code is maintained in the outbound preferences. All transactions of same value date is grouped, before passing the dispatch accounting.
