Click Finish to process the ACH/AFT and save it to the specified file location. All transactions that falls within the specified dates will be included in the resulting output.
On any loans for which an ACH/AFT transaction was created, that transaction will be entered as a pending transaction. It will be processed automatically during the nightly accrual processing run when the pending transaction’s effective date is reached. Pending payments effectively post on the morning of their posting date, so they will occur during the end of day processing for the previous night. This way, if accruals are up to date, on any day where you observe a loan that had a pending transaction scheduled for the current date, that transaction will have posted unless it was created the same day by a back-dated ACH/AFT process.
