If you accidentally return an item and then delete it from the ACH return file, you can manually add the return again using the ACH Return Item – New dialog box.
There are occasions where you will find two entries in ACH history for a single item: a paid/posted transaction and the reversal of the same item from the ACH Exception Items window. In these situations, the items are posted in the back-office cycle, but an exception is also created to allow you to assess a fee or generate a notice. The following exception codes will generate a paid/posted transaction and an exception transaction:
- EA2 - Cleared - Uncollected Funds
- EA5 - Cleared - Overdraft & Uncollected Funds
- ECP - Cleared - Courtesy Pay
- ECO - Cleared - Overdraft & Courtesy Pay
- ECU - Cleared - Courtesy Pay & Uncollected Funds
- ECA - Cleared - Overdraft/Uncollected Funds/Courtesy Pay
- E01 - EFT Item Paid Negative - Member Opted-Out
- E1B - EFT Insufficient Item - Member Opted-Out
- E1C - Share type is negative
- E1D - Share type at zero
- E1E - Share type went below available shares
If one of these items is returned using the ACH Exception Items window, the original item paid in the back-office cycle will remain in ACH history. If one of these ACH remains ‘unworked’ on the ACH Exception Items window, an error message will appear if you attempt to return the item by clicking the Return Item button on the ACH History Inquiry dialog box. The item must be ‘worked’ on the ACH Exception Items window. If the 10-day ACH period expires and the ‘unworked’ ACH item is removed from the ACH Exception Items window, the item can be returned by clicking the Return Item button on the ACH History Inquiry dialog box. Portico cannot prevent the item from being returned once it is no longer listed on the ACH Exception Items window.
After you return an item on the ACH Return Item – New dialog box and close the dialog box, the ACH History Inquiry dialog box will reappear. If you mistakenly click the Return Item button again, a system edit will appear indicating that the item has already been returned on a particular date. If you refresh the ACH History Inquiry dialog box, the Return Item button will be disabled.
