Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EDI 820 Payment Order?

The EDI 820 is a remittance advice document that accompanies payments from buyers to suppliers. It details which invoices are being paid, the amounts, and any deductions or adjustments applied (chargebacks, allowances, discounts). The 820 helps suppliers reconcile payments and identify short payments.

Why did I receive less than the invoice amount?

The EDI 820 contains adjustment codes (ADX segment) that explain deductions. Common reasons include freight allowances, damaged goods, late delivery penalties, promotional discounts, or compliance violations (missing ASNs, incorrect labels). PlainEDI extracts these codes and amounts into the CSV for easy review.

Which retailers send EDI 820 remittances?

Major retailers including Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Kroger, and Lowe's send EDI 820 files with their payments. If you supply these retailers, you'll receive 820s regularly. Converting to CSV helps you reconcile payments quickly and track chargebacks.

How do I dispute a chargeback shown in an 820?

First, convert the 820 to CSV to clearly see the adjustment reason codes and amounts. Review your records (ASNs, packing lists, purchase orders) to determine if the chargeback is valid. If you disagree, contact your retailer's vendor support with documentation. Most retailers have a claims process for disputed deductions.
