If you are using ACH Client for Windows version 1.1b or later, you may move the PPD, CCD, and RCK transactions from that program to the Web application. Transactions are converted by group into a category/subcategory, so you should first configure categories and subcategories and decide in which category/subcategory each group belongs. Since categories separate transactions by SEC code, multiple groups may be converted into one category. To maintain your transaction divisions, you will want to create subcategories within that category. Do not convert groups that don't have transactions. If you are not sure which categories to use for your groups, your FI can help evaluate the group settings and choose the appropriate destinations.
Once you have completed the conversion process, do not create transactions or make any additional modifications to groups or transactions in ACH Client for Windows; these changes need to be made in the Web application.
Note: The Web application does not store customer records like ACH Client for Windows, so customer names/records without transactions will not be converted to the Web application.
Make sure that you are using ACH Client for Windows version 1.1b. To check the version, open the ACH Client for Windows program and click Help | About. Close the Windows program.
Make sure that all categories and/or subcategories are completely configured in the Web application. For specific instructions, see Modifying a Category or Creating a Subcategory.
In the Web application, choose File Transfer | Conversion from the application menu bar.
Click Browse, select the database to convert, and choose Open. If you are using ACH Client for Windows defaults, the database name should be ach_db.mdb.
Choose Next.
If the conversion returns a list of bad schedules, you must fix those schedule problems before you can continue. Click the schedule name to make changes. For example, you can delete a schedule that is a duplicate, or you can remove a bad rule from a schedule. As you fix a schedule issue, it is removed from the list. Once the problems are resolved, conversion continues to the Group List page.
On the Group List page, choose a category/subcategory from the drop-down list.
Click the checkbox next to each ACH Client for Windows group to convert to this category/subcategory.
Choose Convert.
If the conversion encounters any problems, you will see an error message above the groups list. You will need to resolve any problems before converting the group(s). For example, if you see the message "Account Type is not authorized for this Category," you will need to make sure that the category allows all the account types that appear in the group.
If you have any groups left to convert, the application returns to the Group List page and tells you how many transactions were converted. The list of groups contains only the remaining groups available for conversion. Repeat steps 7-10 until you have converted all of the necessary groups from ACH Client for Windows.
If you have converted all the groups on the list, the application returns to the home page.
If you have groups remaining on the list that you are not going to convert, choose Exit Conversion, and click Cancel again to clear the conversion data and return to the home page.
