About This REMADV Sample

Each DOC group is one invoice. When the paid amount is lower than the invoice, an AJT adjustment segment and its MOA say by how much, and FTX gives the reason in words.

The MOA after UNS is the total remitted. It should equal the sum of the amounts paid.

For every segment the standard allows and how retailers use them, read the Remittance guide. To check a file of your own, paste it into the EDI Inspector, or browse all 22 EDI sample files.
