EDIFACT INVOIC

An EDI INVOIC Invoice is an electronic version of a paper Invoice or bill. A supplier will use the EDIFACT INVOIC Invoice to communicate to a buyer the specific items, price, and quantities they have delivered and now must be paid for by the buyer. Payment terms will usually accompany the billing information.

Most suppliers will also want to receive EDI 997 Functional Acknowledgment back after the buyer receives the INVOIC Invoice. The buyer sends the EDI 997 back to the supplier to indicate that they successfully received the Invoice.

EDI documents are sent and received electronically using a VAN. VAN stands for Value Added Network. Part of the EDI Invoice document will contain envelope information. The envelope information specifies which company is sending the document and which company is receiving the document. It is sent by business partners to request payment from their purchasers in exchange for goods supplied.
