Common issues regarding EDI 810

Inconsistencies in the EDI Billing document may result in payment delays or short payments. Here are some common challenges:

Discounts:

Miscalculations or misrepresentations of discounts in the EDI Billing 810 document can cause invoices to be inaccurate.

Pricing:

If pricing is incorrect on the purchase order, the supplier’s invoice may not meet a retailer’s pricing expectations. Validating the pricing in the invoice against the pricing in the order can prevent overcharging or undercharging.

Invoices out of balance:

At times line items may not correctly add up to the invoice total due to data mapping or rounding errors. In this case, the retailer is likely to pay the lesser of the two amounts, resulting in short payments.
