The first step in using ACH Universal is to create an account to hold your imported data. This applies to both CTX and non-CTX codes. If you will be creating CTX as well as non-CTX files, it is recommended you use one account for CTX-only transactions and one account for all other transactions.
Creating an Account
Follow the steps in Account Creation to create the account. There are no differences between CTX and non-CTX transactions.
Follow the steps in Account Setup to set up the originating account. There are a handful of differences detailed below.
Format Selection
On Screen 4 of 6, you will see Figure 1 (below). Select the radio button for CTX-EDI Subsets. In almost every situation you will use EPN STP 820. Make sure it is visible in the dropdown box.

Dun and Bradstreet number with a mutually-agreed upon suffix string |
Enter the ID number of the type selected into the textbox.
Leave the defaults for all other fields unless instructed differently by your bank.
