What is an EDI 810 Invoice?
An EDI 810 Invoice is an electronic data interchange document that indicates the charges due between a seller and a buyer. It shows what the buyer needs to pay and requests payment based on the agreed terms. The EDI 810 replaces the need for sending a paper, email, or PDF-based invoice. Unlike other EDI invoicing documents like EDI 210, EDI 880, and EDI 894, which are designed for specific transactions, an EDI 810 Invoice can be used for various types of orders.
How to use an EDI 810?
Usually, a seller, like a manufacturer or distributor, sends an EDI 810 to a buyer, often a retailer, once an order has been shipped. This document verifies the delivery of the order and asks the buyer to make the payment to complete the transaction. Upon receiving the EDI 810, buyers acknowledge it with an EDI 997 Functional Acknowledgement.
If everything is correct, the invoice is then forwarded to the buyer's accounting or receivables department for payment processing. At this stage, the buyer may also reply with an EDI 820 Payment Order or Remittance Advice Document, sharing payment details with the seller.

Date and invoice number
Details about the Buyer, Seller, and Remittance
Details of the order, including the item quantities and costs
Additional fees, reductions, or allowances
Sum total due
