What is an EDI 820 Payment Order?
The EDI 820 electronic document can be used to start payments and send remittance data. It allows suppliers to verify which invoices have been fully paid for any given payment. Such documents will be sent to a supplier after an 810 invoice is received, especially when there is an electronic funds transfer.
How is EDI 820 Used?
There are several situations in which the 820 transaction is used:
- To give instructions to banks for generating a payment
