What is EDI 820?

Échange de données informatisées, or EDI, refers to the computer-to-computer exchange of business documents in a standard electronic format between trading partners. The EDI 820 Payment Order, specifically, is a financial transaction document used for transmitting detailed information about a payment made by a company to its suppliers or vendors.

Key Components of EDI 820

Payment Remittance Advice

The EDI 820 transaction includes a comprehensive remittance advice that outlines the details of the payment. This can include the invoice numbers, amounts paid, and any other relevant information. It helps the recipient reconcile the payment with their accounts receivable.

Bank Information

This transaction includes bank details such as account numbers, routing information, and other banking specifics necessary for the successful electronic transfer of funds.

Transaction Set Header

This section provides general information about the payment order. For example, the type of payment (credit transfer, direct deposit, etc.), control numbers, and dates.

Payment Detail

The heart of the EDI 820 transaction lies in the payment detail segment. This is where line-item information about each payment is communicated. For example, the amount, payment method, and any adjustments or deductions.
