Usage breakdown

Who trades X12 824 Application Advice

824 is used most heavily in retail, grocery & food and agriculture.

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. 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.
