edi 810
Definition
An EDI 810 is a standardized electronic invoice that businesses send to request payment for goods or services they have delivered. EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange, which is a system that lets computers at different companies talk to each other using a common language instead of paper documents or emails.
Example
If you supply products to a large retailer like Walmart or Target, they will likely require you to send your invoices in the EDI 810 format rather than a traditional paper or PDF invoice.
Watch Out
Many large retailers and wholesalers make EDI compliance a strict requirement in their vendor contracts, so failing to send invoices in this format can result in delayed payments or fines called chargebacks.
