Documentation
Definition
The Company Entry Description is transferred into the Batch Header of the ACH file (field BH7). This field is mandatory and is filled with the value of this parameter. The following is an excerpt from NACHA official documentation:
"The Originator establishes the value of this field to provide a description of the purpose of the entry to be displayed back to the Receiver. For example, GAS BILL, REG. SALARY, INS. PREM, SOC. SEC., DTC, TRADE PAY, PURCHASE, etc."
Payments from financial accounting
Besides being able to assign a standard Company Entry Description for the whole file, the user in FI can also select a field in the FI document in which to store the Description. To do this, you should proceed as follows:
- You allocate a two-character key for the payment grouping and store the field selected in the FI document (for example the item text or one of the reference fields).
Proceed - When you post a document, you have to enter the Company Entry Description in the field selected for the payment grouping.
If the item text field is selected for the grouping, it can make sense to maintain the possible values as standard texts and to select them during document entry.
Proceed
Payments from other applications
In other applications (like HR, for example) this parameter is to be used for the Company Entry Description.
