Usage breakdown
Who trades X12 820 Payment Order Remittance Advice
820 is used most heavily in retail, grocery & food and building & hardware.
The 820 carries payment and remittance information: which invoices are being paid, for how much, and with what adjustments, plus the payment method and banking details. The seller needs this remittance detail to apply cash against open invoices, because the funds themselves often move separately through the ACH network or by wire. The transaction can involve up to four parties: the payer, the payer's bank, the payee, and the payee's bank. Sent by the buyer (payer), or by the buyer's bank on its behalf, to the supplier (payee); it is also used by plan sponsors to send premium payments to health insurance plans. The buyer's accounts payable run executes a payment against one or more supplier invoices and releases the funds by ACH, wire, or check.
