Set up ACH Options for CQI users

Note: this section is for customers using the legacy connection to QuickBooks using CQI. Most customers should be using integrated billing and will setup ACH using other selections.

Using these ACH selections, the database will automatically create the bookkeeping transactions when running the monthly invoice batch. The actual financial transaction must still be scheduled through your own bank or 3rd party institution.

1.	Automatic Clearing House (ACH) transactions are scheduled through your financial institution.

2.	Turn on the ACH option for the member on Members-Account tab by selecting Bill this member using ACH under the Edit ACH information for this member. (One-time setup)

3.	All recurring billing items will immediately be set to ACH billing (which means they will be included in your invoice batch when “ACH members” are billed.
