X12 820 Payment Order/Remittance Advice

X12 Release 3040

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.

Entity

RequiredMax use 1

To designate the entities which are parties to a transaction and specify a reference meaningful to those entities

  • ENT09 may contain the payee's accounts receivable customer number.
Usage notes

If there are any segments in the detail area, the ENT segment is mandatory to indicate a loop start. In a single-to-single entity relationship, the ENT segment is used as a placeholder and only the ENT01 is required. In other than single-to-single relationships, elements ENT02 - ENT07 are used to designate sub-entities of the parties.

This segment allows for the grouping of data by entity/entities at or within a master/masters. A master (e.g., an organization) can be comprised of numerous subgroups (e.g., entities.) This master may send grouped data to another master (e.g., an organization) which is comprised of one or more entities. Groupings are as follows:

(1) Single/Single: Only ENT01 is necessary because there is a single entity (the sending master) communicating with a single entity (the receiving master.)
(2) Single/Multiple: ENT05, ENT06, and ENT07 would be used to identify the entities within the receiving master. The sending master is a single entity so no other data elements need be used.
(3) Multiple/Single: ENT02, ENT03, and ENT04 would be used to identify the entities within the sending master. The receiving master is a single entity so no other data elements need be used.
(4) Multiple/Multiple: ENT02, ENT03, and ENT04 would be used to identify the entities within the sending master. ENT05, ENT06, and ENT07 would be used to identify the entities within the receiving master.

This segment also allows for the transmission of a unique reference number that is meaningful between the entities.

Example: ENT1~~~~SU92~B816N’

Example
If either Entity Identifier Code (ENT-05), Identification Code Qualifier (ENT-06) or Identification Code (ENT-07) are present, then the others are required
