x12 820 Payment Order/Remittance Advice

820 Specifications

 The x12 820 transaction set provides the EDI format for transmitting information relating to payments. It is typically used in conjunction with an electronic transfer of funds for payment of goods, insurance premiums or other transactions. The actual funds transfer is often coordinated through the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) system, and an 820 may be effectively wrapped in an ACH banking transaction.

 The 820 transaction is used in a number of situations:

820 x12 EDI Transaction set

⇰ by businesses to provide instructions to banks for making a payment, such as a funds transfer, to a payee
⇰ by businesses directly to individual suppliers to communicate the details of a pending payment, including adjustments reflected in the payment
⇰ by companies providing premium payment information to health insurance plans

 The information provided in an 820 document includes payer and payee identification, bank and account IDs, invoice number(s), adjustments from an invoice, billed and paid amounts. This information allows the suppliers and health plans to reconcile payments they receive against invoices they have issued.
