How 810 works in Fulfil.

Fulfil automatically generates and sends 810 invoices when orders ship.

1

Order ships

When you complete fulfillment and ship an order in Fulfil, the system has all the data needed to create an invoice: items shipped, quantities, pricing, and PO references.

2

Fulfil generates 810

The 810 invoice is automatically created with accurate line items, pricing, payment terms, and references to the original purchase order.

3

Invoice sent to AP system

The 810 automatically goes to the retailer's accounts payable system via EDI, where it enters their payment workflow.

✓

Automatic processing

Because the invoice matches the PO and ASN electronically, it processes automatically through AP without manual matching, resulting in faster payment.

Why 810 matters for your business.

Faster payment

Electronic 810 invoices process through AP systems automatically. Paper invoices sit in mailrooms, get lost, and require manual three-way matching. EDI invoices flow straight through, getting paid faster and improving cash flow.

Eliminates lost paper invoices

Paper invoices get lost in the mail, misfiled, or stuck in processing. The 810 is delivered electronically with proof of receipt, so you know the retailer has it and it's in their payment queue.

Automatic AP processing

Because the 810 electronically references the PO and ASN, the retailer's AP system can automatically match and approve the invoice for payment. No human review needed for standard orders.

Reduces payment disputes

The 810 contains exact data from the original PO and what was actually shipped. This reduces discrepancies and disputes since everything is traceable and matches electronically.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

When does Fulfil generate and send the 810 invoice?
Fulfil creates the 810 automatically from the posted customer invoice, and generation requires two conditions: the customer shipment is marked Done and the customer invoice is Posted. The 810 is outbound only, so Fulfil generates and transmits it to the trading partner and does not receive 810s.
Why is the 810 not sent the moment I ship?
Fulfil holds the 810 in transmission until the related 856 Advance Ship Notice is accepted by the trading partner. This hold protects you against chargebacks for invoicing before shipment is confirmed, which is a common deduction reason. Once the 856 reaches Accepted, Fulfil releases the 810 automatically.
What information does an 810 invoice contain?
The 810 carries the invoice number, invoice date, and payment terms, line items with a product identifier, quantity shipped, and unit price, and invoice totals covering subtotal, taxes, freight, and grand total. It also includes buyer, seller, ship-to, and bill-to identifiers, a reference to the original purchase order and shipment, and any service charges as allowance or charge lines.
What does the 810 map to in Fulfil?
Each 810 is generated from a posted customer invoice, so that invoice is the source of record for the amounts and line items. The 810 document appears in the Related Records section of both the customer invoice and the customer shipment, so you can move between them from either side.
Why might a trading partner reject an 810?
Common rejections include a unit price that does not match the price the partner sent on the 850, a line quantity that does not match the matching 856, a missing remit-to address, or payment terms that differ from the 850. Correct the customer invoice and repost it, and the 810 regenerates for retransmission.
Which EDI documents work with the 810?
The 810 sits in the order cycle with the 850 Purchase Order being invoiced, the 856 Advance Ship Notice that must be accepted before the 810 releases, and the 820 Payment Remittance the partner sends back when they pay. Fulfil also receives a 997 functional acknowledgement confirming the partner got the 810.
