"N=sequence number (1..n) if multiple files per cycle used"a) What's a cycle? May N count for the file count for the day of yyyymmdd? Starting with 1. b) What's ISO? Should we leave that as is? c) What's MID? Should we leave that as is?

Output File name
"Output File name: yyyymmdd_ISO_MID_ACHOutput.csv (received from TabaPay)"a) Shouldn’t this too include N, otherwise how can we differentiate between multiple sent for the same day?

Processed file
"Processed file: yyyymmdd_ISO_MID_ACHProcessed_A.csv (received from TabaPay)"a) What’s the difference between processed and output file?

Entry Types
"CCD, PPD, Web"
"CCD’s are Corporate Credit or Debit transactions and are used to originate transactions to or from Corporate Accounts only."a) Assuming all TabaPay customers are corporations and are apart of all transactions(pull, push), wouldn't CCD always be set?
"PPD’s are Prearranged Payment or Deposit transactions and are used to originate transactions to Consumer Accounts only."
b) Do you mean "originate transactions FROM Consumer Accounts"?
c) Is this when we're pulling from Consumers?
"WEB is Internet-Initiated/Mobile Entries"
d) What makes an internet-initiated entry an internet-initiated entry?
