Usage breakdown
Who trades X12 812 Credit Debit Adjustment
812 is used most heavily in grocery & food, retail and building & hardware.
The X12 812 is the electronic equivalent of a credit or debit memo. It communicates adjustments to amounts already invoiced, covering events such as over- or under-shipments, returns, price discrepancies, billing errors, and billbacks under trading-partner agreements, so both parties' payables and receivables stay reconciled. It typically flows after the EDI 810 invoice and before the EDI 820 remittance, and it notifies or requests an adjustment rather than moving funds. The 812 flows in both directions: sellers send credit or debit memos to buyers, and buyers such as retailers and distributors send it to suppliers to document deductions and billbacks. A discrepancy is found after invoicing, such as a shortage, return, pricing error, or agreed billback, and one party issues an adjustment against the original invoice.
