Template 1600 relies on a cash import structure to interpret the bank file. This is implemented through the Cash Import Table, also known as the AIF Table, which defines how the bank file is read—its record types, field positions or delimiters, and how each piece of data (such as payment amount, date, payer identifier, and remittance details) maps to the system’s internal fields for posting to patient accounts. This table provides the parsing rules and mappings needed to translate raw bank data into usable remittance information. Other tables handle different roles: the Payer Master Table stores payer demographics and details, the Bank Details Table contains bank-specific information, and the Remittance Table holds remittance data after parsing. None of those define how to interpret the bank file itself, which is why the cash import structure is the correct mechanism here.
