Notification of change entries (COR)

A notification of change entry is created in a Batch with an SEC code of COR.

This type of entry is created by the Receiving Depository Financial Institution (RDFI) to notify the Originating Depository Financial Institution (ODFI) that previously valid information in an entry is now outdated or erroneous, and must be changed. Specifications for creating the Notification of Change records are detailed in the ACH Rulebook; Appendix 6. The ODFI can refuse the notification of Change and generate a Refused COR entry with an appropriate reason.

Although the Batch header for a batch that contains COR entries is the same for notification of changes for both consumer and corporate application types, the entry detail records are different. Thus the group that is defined in the type tree for COR contains a partitioned group COR Entry Detail Record to support either type of application.

The Pack for Financial Payments NACHA component comes with examples that show how to populate a Notification of Change and a Refused Notification of Change entry.

As with returns, different formats are required for cross border entries. The ACH type trees also contain the following groups:
