The ACH origination authorized limit feature lets your branch tellers create ACH origination items up to a specified dollar amount. Any dollar amount over the designated limit can be approved using your credit union’s override process. The following security permissions support the ACH origination authorization limit option:

  • To view the Authorization Limit and Exception User Queue fields on the Credit Union Profile – ACH/Payroll tab, the user must belong to a security group with the Portico - System - Credit Union Profile - View Only permission.
  • To update the Exception User Queue field, the user must belong to a security group with the Portico - System - Credit Union Profile – Maintain permission.
  • To view the Authorized Limits group box on the User Profile – Security tab, the user must belong to a security group with the Portico - User Maintenance - Users - View Only permission.
  • To update the Authorized Limits group box on the User Profile – Security tab, the user must belong to a security group with the Portico - User Maintenance - Users - Maintain permission.

You can use the ACH origination authorized limit feature with Enhanced or Remote Override by setting up remote override groups with employees that have authorization limits greater than the credit union-defined limit on the Credit Union Profile – ACH/Payroll tab. After you assign staff members to the override groups, select a user or department from the Exception User Queue drop-down list on the Credit Union Profile – ACH/Payroll tab. When a user assigned to the override group attempts to originate an item for an amount is greater than the authorization limit, Portico will display a User Override dialog box. The user must select the remote override group and override user that has an authorization limit greater than the transaction amount to approve the request.
