EDI 820 (Payment Order / Remittance Advice)
An EDI document communicating payment and remittance details.
Also known as: 820, remittance advice
What is EDI 820 (Payment Order / Remittance Advice)?
The EDI 820 conveys payment and remittance information — which invoices are being paid, amounts, adjustments, and deductions taken. It can authorize an ACH payment and/or explain what a payment covers, helping a supplier reconcile cash received against invoices sent. The 820 is where deductions become visible, since it itemizes what the buyer subtracted and why.
How Endless handles it
Endless matches inbound 820 remittances to the originating 810 invoices, surfacing short-pays and deductions automatically so nothing gets written off by default.
