The 824 reports the application-level result of a previously received EDI document: accepted, accepted with errors, or rejected, with detail on what failed. Trading partners require it because a 997 functional acknowledgment confirms syntax only; the 824 is how a receiver tells the sender that an invoice, order, or shipment document failed business validation and must be corrected before it can be processed or paid. Sent by the receiver of the original document, commonly a buyer or retailer that has validated a supplier's invoice or shipment document, back to the original sender.

When it fires: A receiver's application validates an inbound EDI document, most often an invoice, after clean syntax acknowledgment and finds business-level data errors that prevent processing.

Common 824 rejection causes
  • Original documents rejected for non-numeric or invalid PO numbers, invalid vendor numbers, or blank invoice numbers and dates.
  • Invoice totals that do not match the sum of the detail lines, or invalid currency and warehouse codes.
  • Suppliers monitoring only 997s and missing inbound 824 rejections, so business-level failures go uncorrected until a payment or fulfillment dispute surfaces them.
