Hi,

So I was testing out the sample file and I think the digits are abit off

here is my input (same as your sample input)

from ach.builder import AchFile

settings = { 'immediate_dest' : '123456789', # Your bank's routing number 'immediate_org' : '123456789', # Bank assigned routing number 'immediate_dest_name' : 'YOUR BANK', 'immediate_org_name' : 'YOUR COMPANY', 'company_id' : '1234567890', #tax number }

ach_file = AchFile('A',settings) #file Id mod

entries = [ { 'type' : '22', # type of 'routing_number' : '12345678', 'account_number' : '11232132', 'amount' : '10.00', 'name' : 'Alice Wanderdust', 'addenda' : [ { 'payment_related_info': 'Here is some additional information', }, ], }, { 'type' : '27', 'routing_number' : '12345678', 'account_number' : '234234234', 'amount' : '150.00', 'name' : 'Billy Holiday', }, { 'type' : '22', 'routing_number' : '12323231', 'account_number' : '123123123', 'amount' : '12.13', 'name' : 'Rachel Welch', }, ]

ach_file.add_batch('PPD', entries, credits=True, debits=True)

print ach_file.render_to_string()

Output (same as your sample output)

Sankaet, next time please use the source code markup for markdown or provide a pastebin link. It makes the example code you have shown much easier to read :)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It looks like the error may have been caused by the decimal places being off by two. I have gone back read the file specs for the file control and applicable entry detail record definitions, and everything is where it should be.

Also, I have run validation against the ACH file using this software: http://www.achworks.com/index.php/en/products/ach-tools/achfilechex and received no errors related to the total amounts. The only errors I received were regarding routing numbers, but I am pretty sure this is only because they are fake.

Additionally, before the 0.2 release I worked with another developer who was able to verify the files with their financial institution.

What tool are you using to validate these ACH files?
