I know we have already talked, but this is a good general question to answer on the forum.
The "Hide" option for BatchAmnt and BatchAmnt2 refers to hiding the decimal point. The total Credit amount for the Batch is displayed in the BatchAmnt field. This value is calculated automatically and begins at position 33 of the ‘8’ record and continues for 12 characters. The Debit amount is a feature of a Balance Record. A balance record creates a Debit entry at the end of the detail list (also referred to as the ‘6’ records) to offset the credits. Few banks require a Debit record. When one is required, select the Balanced File check box on the ACH Definition tab of the PrintBoss bank record and enter the appropriate information. PrintBoss will create the offsetting ‘6’ record and add the Debit amount from the BatchAmnt2 field on the ‘8’ record beginning at position 21 for 12 characters. Both BatchAmnt fields are right justified and zero filled.
Note: Once a change is made to a PrintBoss bank record, the check batch must be reprinted from the accounting software for the change to take effect. This is a security measure.

Hello, I've got the ACH file close to being accepted by the bank, but they claim I'm missing the debit and possibly credit amounts in the footer. I think I have the two fields identified in the form as BatchAmnt2 and BatchAmnt, but they are showing a "hide" parameter. Do I just need to remove the "hide" parameter to get them to show up in the file?
