X12 820 Payment Order/Remittance Advice

X12 Release 4010

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Payment Order/Remittance Advice Transaction Set (820) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to make a payment, send a remittance advice, or make a payment and send a remittance advice.

This transaction set can be an order to a financial institution to make a payment to a payee. It can also be a remittance advice identifying the detail needed to perform cash application to the payee's accounts receivable system.
The remittance advice can go directly from payer to payee, through a financial institution, or through a third party agent.

---

Use this mapping layout if the Remittance is sent to the bank along with EFT payment.
