ACH Status Code Detail

The following status codes appear on the ACH Batch List screen under the Status column next to each batch, based on the status for each batch displayed:

Status CodeDescription
ReadyThe batch has been created and is ready to be updated, changed, initiated, deleted, or worked with.
InitiatedThe batch has been sent to the financial institution and is waiting to be transmitted to the Fedline terminal. During this status, a batch cannot be edited or deleted until it has been processed and returns to a Ready status.
Users should never delete an ACH batch that is in Initiated status. Doing so causes the financial institution to not receive the ACH Batch. In addition, users should not delete the batch until the status has returned to Ready.
ProcessedThe ACH batch has been processed by the financial institution and can no longer be updated until end-of-day processing has been completed. The batch returns to a Ready status after end-of-day processing.
UploadedThe ACH batch information was uploaded directly from another accounting software system by using the ACH upload feature.
