We have been using AR575 for a while, but the AR580 file format is much simpler. It seems that AR575 contains a lot of parameters in the input file, while AR580 uses a lot of these as job parameters. What are the differences, if any, in using AR580 for cash application vs AR575?

We have used both, the main difference is the input tables used to process the payments.

I guess my question really centers around the results of the jobs. For example, cash code information is attached to the payment within the ARIPMT for AR575, but it is a parameter in AR580. When creating the payment batch, does AR580 know which payments to pull in from the ARIPAYMENT for the cash code entered in the job parameters?

That is a very good question. The way we have used AR580 and AR575, it picks up anything in the interface table for the company code specified in the run time parameters. What I have seen is that the Process Level and/or cash code parameters are "overrides" to company defaults (AR01/AR00).
