Workflow

The workflow has the following nodes:

StartOfWorkflow

Execution of the workflow begins with this node.

NachaContextNode and NachaContentNode

The context and content validation nodes validate each record in a transmission.

FwdPaymentMethodOutNode and CurrencyOutNode

These nodes are executed for the transaction records. FwdPaymentMethodOutNode is only run if ibmNprStandardNameOut and ibmNprMessageTypeNameOut are not yet set.

BankCodeVerificationNode

This eSort node validates that the destination bank code is in the bank code table. This node always returns successfully.

AccountValidationNode

This eSort node validates that the account number is in the large account table and corresponds to the transaction code. This node always returns successfully.

EndpointAssignFtmNode

This node assigns an endpoint based on the outbound message type field. If an endpoint is not assigned to a transaction, the node assigns a relevant error code to the transaction.

AccumAssignFtmNode and BillingNode

After these nodes are executed, the workflow is complete.
