ecDebitService_effectiveDate

Effective date for the transaction.

The effective date must be within 45 days of the current day. If you do not include this value,

This field is available only for the

processor.

When the effective date is not set, the echeck transaction is batched at the next available batch time. When the echeck transaction is batched, the payment status changes to Payment. However, when the effective date is set to a date in advance, the transaction batches on the set date. While the transaction is awaiting batching, the transaction status is set to Submitted. When the echeck transaction is batched on the effective date, the transaction status changes to Payment.
