Testing Considerations
The system needs to have processed some ACH Entries. Need a valid XML file referencing these entries as the input. Also need to have outbound envelopes configured so that the generated return entries can be packaged into an ACH interchange. For debug messages to be logged, the system log needs to be turned on.
