NACHA File Guide

1 min read

FranConnect uses EFT for monetary transactions, and those transactions are documented in a NACHA (ACH) file. This guide shows you how to read one so you can review payment types — Royalty, Advertisement and other fees — in a franchisee's report.

Before you begin

You need access to Finance › EFT Transactions. It helps to have a sample file open alongside the diagram below.
