EDI 820 Payment Order/Remittance Advice
Functional Group RA
X12F Finance Subcommittee
This standard provides the format and establishes the data contents of a payment order/remittance advice transaction set. The payment order/remittance advice transaction set can be used for three different purposes: (1) to order a financial institution to make payment to payee(s) on behalf of the sending party, (2) to report the completion of a payment to payee(s) by a financial institution, and (3) to give advice to the payee by the payor on the application of a payment made with the payment order or by some other means. This standard is not designed for exception reporting from the financial institution to either party.
