ACH Universal > File Creation and Transmission
Overview
Importing files into ACH Universal are only useful when they can be turned into ACH files and transmitted to your bank. Follow the steps below to learn about the transmission process
Creating the file
There is no limit on the number of imported files that can be turned into 1 ACH file. For example, you can import multiple file every weekday and create one file at the end of the day, or create a separate file for each import. There is no practical difference between the two methods.
On the ACH Universal Main Screen, click the Transmit to Bank button. Alternatively, you can select Transmit from the main menu, then Transmit to Bank or click the Transmit to Bank link in the Easy Steps pane.
The Transmit to Bank screen (Figure 1 below) will be displayed.

You will now review two pieces of information before creating and transmitting the file.
First, the middle of the top pane will list the file transmission method. After creation, ACH Universal will use this method to transmit the file to your bank. In this case, Web Upload is the selected method. For more information on transmission methods, see Transmission Methods. Also, you will see listed the archive location, or the absolute path on your local system where the created ACH file will be saved.
Second, the bottom of the screen contains a table showing a summary of all imported data. This is listed under Imported Records (for all file imports) and Transfers & Manuals (for corporate account transfers and manually entered records). Check the totals against the data to ensure it matches.
