Verbatim from Nacha — ISO 20022 Guide to Mapping U.S. ACH Return Items and Notifications of Change, August 2023, Version 2.01 (Table 1, return reason codes) (return reason code table). Applies to: Not stated in the mapping guide.
How it appears in an ISO 20022 statement
Nacha's mapping guide maps R25 to camt.053 reason code RR07 (Remittance Information Invalid) — ISO definition: Remittance information structure does not comply with rules for payment type.
Return time frame
Nacha's public rule pages refer to the standard "two-day" return time frame for returns that are not extended (unauthorized) returns. The governing time limit for this code is set in the Nacha Operating Rules, which Nacha sells and which were not used here, so it is not restated.
Can the entry be reinitiated?
Nacha's reinitiation rule page allows reinitiation "to correct administrative errors", with fields other than Company Name, Company ID and Amount modified only to the extent necessary. A corrected resubmission of a returned debit is therefore treated as a reinitiation, within the Rules' limits and carrying RETRY PYMT. Nacha's reinitiation rule addresses returned debits; a returned credit falls outside it.
correct the field the RDFI identified, and code the resubmission correctly.
What an operator does next
An addenda record is malformed, out of sequence or exceeds the maximum. Fix the addenda construction.
PaymentBrief guidance, not Nacha text. Your ODFI's procedures and the current Nacha Operating Rules govern.
