ACH Universal > Advanced Topics > Multiple Origination Accounts
Overview
Multiple Origination Accounts allow you to originate ACH transactions from multiple bank accounts through the same ACH Universal account. This type of process is typically used by payroll processors or other organizations creating ACH files on behalf of several different entities.
Note: This feature is only available in Pro Plus and Trading Partner Editions.
Creating the accounts
Load the Report Creator by clicking the Reports button at the Main Screen. You can alternatively select Reports from the Easy Steps in the left pane or Reports from the main menu.
In the top dropdown box, select Multiple Origination Accounts to load that report (Figure 1 below).
