EDI 850 x12 Purchase Order and EDI 810 Invoice Details

Two of the most common types of EDI transactions are the EDI 810 Invoice and the EDI 850 Purchase Order (PO). These documents are used primarily in business to business transactions, and both documents can go in either direction – inbound or outbound.

Companies wishing to do business with larger retailers for example, are often required to exchange these two transaction sets at a minimum. A common example would be a vendor sending the client an 810 Invoice, and the client returning an 850 Purchase Order.

Solutions for Processing EDI Invoices and Purchase Orders

ProEDI Software and Outsourcing Services allow companies of ANY size to become EDI compliant while exchanging 810, 850 or any other EDI documents. The Maps can be written to your specifications, so they can easily be imported and exported to and from your backend application. Smaller companies may even opt for a simple Report View, which they can print out or alter manually if desired. Larger companies benefit from the ability to sync up their ERP or Accounting systems without manual intervention.

EDI Invoice and Purchase Order Details

The details and structure of these transactions are defined by The Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12. However, each business organization may have their own rules and specifications, as detailed in their Implementation Guide.
