Nacha's definition

The name of the consumer or company provided in Field 3 of the Addenda Record either does not match a corresponding name in the Federal Government Agency's records or fails to include at least one alphameric character.

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: ENR.

Reinitiation conditions

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.

PaymentBrief guidance, not Nacha text

correct the field the RDFI identified, and code the resubmission correctly.

How it appears in an ISO 20022 statement

Nacha's mapping guide marks this code as not currently supported or mapped for camt.053 (footnote 1): it applies to Standard Entry Class codes or flows the guide does not cover, so it has no published ISO 20022 reason-code mapping.

Return time frame

ENR returns are made by a Federal Government Agency under the Rules' ENR provisions; the time frame is not stated in the public sources used here.

What an operator does next

ENR (automated enrolment) entries are returned by a federal agency for the enrolment data problem the code names. Correct the enrolment record field identified and resubmit the enrolment; these codes do not arise in commercial billing.

PaymentBrief guidance, not Nacha text. Your ODFI's procedures and the current Nacha Operating Rules govern.

Where this comes up on PaymentBrief

A gap in a cited public document does not establish that the rules permit an action or that no other rule applies.
