The bank is requesting a value other than 1 in front of the Federal ID in the NACHA file.
Description
Cause

When using the Origin ID Type option as Federal ID, the bank will assign an account prefix before the company identification number in the file. For example 1 = operations account, 2 = payroll account (or a or b) etc.

Resolution

An enhancement request has been submitted for this scenario.

At the moment, there is not a method through the interface to make the Company/Batch header record reflect anything other than a 1 prior to the federal ID.

You can force a 2 in front of the EIN for the Company/Batch Control Record (Company Identification number) by using the Bank Assigned ID option.

Otherwise at this time, you will need to edit the file in a text editor prior to sending to the bank.
