Data elements

The types that are defined in this category element comprise the full set of data elements that are needed for any ACH record format.

There are more subcategories, and elements with inherited properties, to set the data definition in a way to allow adequate validation and mapping support when used in the context of a full ACH file.

The type names of data elements are abbreviated versions of the element descriptions. For example, the name of the type that defines the data element Addenda Record Indicator is Addenda_Ind. If you find these, or other names inappropriate for your use, rename the type. Every reference to that type is renamed for you automatically.

Coded values for coded fields in records are implemented in the type tree as restriction lists, and component rules. These coded values are described in detail in the ACH Rulebook; Appendix 2, Section 2.2.
