Payment Order/Remittance
The 820 Payment Order/Remittance is a payment notification telling you which invoices were paid. When a retail partner makes a payment, they send an 820 that automatically reconciles in Fulfil—showing you exactly which invoices were paid, any deductions taken, and payment details.

How 820 works in Fulfil
Fulfil receives 820 remittances and automatically reconciles payments
Retailer makes payment
When a retail partner pays your invoices via ACH or wire transfer, their AP system generates an 820 remittance advice with payment details.
820 arrives in Fulfil
The 820 remittance arrives via EDI, listing which invoices were paid, any deductions taken, and the payment reference number.
Automatic reconciliation
Fulfil automatically matches the 820 to your outstanding invoices, marks them as paid, and records any deductions or adjustments.
Match to bank deposit
When the payment hits your bank account, you can instantly match it to the 820 remittance—knowing exactly which invoices were paid without manual reconciliation.
Why 820 matters for your business
Automatic payment reconciliation
The 820 tells you exactly which invoices were paid before the money hits your bank. Fulfil automatically matches payments to invoices, eliminating hours of manual reconciliation work each week.
Eliminates manual bank deposit matching
Without the 820, you see a $47,329 deposit in your bank and must manually figure out which invoices it covers. The 820 provides a detailed breakdown, so you know immediately what was paid.
Know exactly which invoices were paid
Large retailers often pay multiple invoices in a single ACH transfer. The 820 breaks down the payment invoice-by-invoice, showing what was paid in full and what had deductions—critical for accurate AR management.
Track deductions and disputes automatically
The 820 includes deduction codes when retailers take chargebacks or adjustments. Fulfil captures these automatically, so you can dispute invalid deductions or fix recurring issues without digging through paper remittance advice.
