The
EDI 812 Credit/Debit Adjustment transaction set is used to communicate an adjustment to the charges for products or services. It is the equivalent of a paper credit or debit memo.
An 812 may be used by a seller to notify its customer of an increase (debit) or decrease (credit) in the amount the customer is being charged, relative to a previously transmitted
Invoice (810) or previously received
Purchase Order (850). Alternatively, a buyer may use the 812 to request an adjustment from a supplier.
The data in an 812 document may reference a specific Purchase Order or Invoice, and includes detailed information such as item identification, quantity and the reason for the credit or debit. Common reasons for an adjustment may include:
- Item was defective
- Product ordered was not received
- Goods were or are being returned
- Actual 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
The 812 transaction does not address the details of returns, only the accounting effects as a result of the return. The 180 Return Merchandise Authorization/Notification transaction is used to request or authorize returns.
