In the ACH network, a CCD is for a corporate payment - payments between companies (e.g., vendor payments, moving money between different stores in different areas of the state/country, etc). A PPD is a consumer entry - on one side or another there is a consumer account involved (e.g. direct deposit or auto-debit for a bill payment).
