EDI 812 - Credit/Debit Adjustment Specifications

What is an EDI 812?
EDI 812 is an X12 transaction set that communicates an adjustment to the costs for products or services between retailers or grocers and their vendors, suppliers, and wholesalers.

 

How to use an EDI 812?
An EDI 812 provides the amount and explanation for the difference in the amount being charged from a previously transmitted EDI 810 Invoice or EDI 850 Purchase Order. It can also be used by the buyer to request an adjustment from the supplier.

 

Common reasons for an adjustment to charges include:

  • The item was defective
  • The product ordered was not received
  • Goods were or are being returned
  • The actual total quantity delivered was greater or less than that ordered
  • There was an error in the pricing of the item in the original PO or invoice
