After you create your ODFI Originator records, you need to create NACHA batches for your system.

To create an ACH Batch you will need an administrator account.

• Click the cog/gear wheel icon to access the Administration section of Ventures
• In the Administration section click on Reference in the menu on the left a submenu will appear.
• In the submenu click Payments, another submenu will appear.
• In the payments submenu click ACH Batches, the list of already existing batches will appear.
• If you want to edit a batch click the Batch Name. You will see the same pop up as when we add a batch. We want to add a batch so we will click the Add button. A pop up will appear.
• Enter the name for the batch. Make it as descriptive as possible.
• Select the ODFI Originator for the batch in the ODFI Originator field. This dropdown will pull from the list of created ODFI Originators. An ODFI Originator can have many batches assigned to it, but batches can only be assigned to one specific ODFI Originator.
• If relevant, enter the Company Identifier in the Company Identifier field.  There may be separate Company Identifiers for each batch as they are used to keep track of different loan funds that may go to different accounts. You can only have one identifier assigned to the batch.
• Select the SEC Code from the dropdown menu. You can choose from: PPD Prearranged Payment and Deposit Entry (consumer or business accounts) or CCD Corporate Credit or Debit (business accounts only).The SEC code applies to everything in the batch. If you set it to PPD, every transaction associated with this batch will be set to PPD, and the same is true if you select CCD. A batch cannot be both and it cannot be mixed. Within a NACHA file you can have batches that are PPD and batches that are CCD, this will not affect transactions. 
• Review what you have entered and click save.

Ensure you create NACHA batches that cover every combination of options that you will need (for example PPD vs CCD, choosing different ODFI Originators)

The Settlement Bank Account section is optional. It is used to add information for Balanced Files. A balanced file means there are debits and credits. If the batch does not contain balanced files you can leave it blank. This feature is not fully supported yet. When the feature launches, if the checkbox is enabled, this section is used to distinguish between the routing number for the bank and the ODFI, and gives you the ability to enter the routing and account number in their respective fields of who will be receiving the credits (usually the lender). Remember this feature is not fully supported yet.
