PaymentVision 5.4.4 is now available in production. The purpose of this release is to introduce an enhancement to ACH Batch Scheduling.
ACH Batch Scheduling
ACH batch scheduling is an existing feature within the PaymentVision Portal that enables ACH batches to be created automatically based on a user-defined schedule.
What’s new?
Prior to this release, the ability to create an ACH batch based on a schedule was limited to the organization level, wherein all payments were lumped together into a single batch. Now, as part of this release, ACH batches can be created based on a schedule set at the sub-merchant level, wherein each schedule results in the creation of a separate batch.
Use Case
Use Case | Description |
Reconciliation | ACH Batch Scheduling at the sub-merchant level simplifies the reconciliation process by enabling a batch total to be matched with a deposit total in cases where sub-merchants are associated with different deposit accounts. |
