How should an ODFI use the end-of-day default?
End-of-day defaults should not be relied upon as a part of normal daily operations, but should be relied upon only when extraordinary circumstances result in batches remaining pended at the end of the day. An end-of-day default of “release” means that all FedACH Risk Origination Monitoring Service pended batches will be released for processing. An end-of-day default of “reject” means that all FedACH Risk Origination Monitoring Service pended batches will be rejected and will not be processed by FedACH.
