# Overview

Remittance Export Formats enable **Frameworks** to generate and transmit EDI 820 Remittance Advice files in ANSI X12 format for suppliers requiring electronic remittance delivery. This functionality automates the remittance advice process when processing supplier payments.

> ⚠️ This functionality is NOT feature-driven.

Before **Remittance Export Formats** can be used, the following system administration activities marked must be completed.

---

# System Setup Tables

## 1. Remittance Export Formats

Enable the available EDI remittance formats that suppliers can use for automated remittance advice delivery.

Navigate to the **Miscellaneous Table Maintenance**, then search for the table "remittance" to access **Remittance Export Formats**. Enabled the format codes and descriptions required to be available when setting up supplier remittance export in Supplier Maintenance. Only active formats appear in the export format dropdown during supplier configuration.

## 2. Supplier Remittance Export Configuration

Navigation Path: **Payables** > **Maintenance** > **Supplier Maintenance** > **Remittance Export** tab

Configure export settings per supplier and branch including export format selection, output directory, file naming conventions, and branch-specific EDI identifiers. 

- **Export Format: **Select the EDI remittance format from the dropdown menu. Available formats are defined in the Remittance Export Formats configuration.
- **Export Directory: **Enter the directory path where remittance advice files will be saved. Ensure the directory exists and that Frameworks has write permissions to this location.
- **Export Filename: **Enter the filename for exported remittance files. Use the naming convention required by your supplier's EDI specifications. For example: `820batchnumberYYYYMMDD.txt` to meet LBMX requirements.
- **Sender ID: **Enter the sender ID for each relevant branch line. This identifies your organisation in the EDI transmission and must match the ID agreed upon with your supplier.
- **Receiver ID: **Enter the receiver ID for each relevant branch line. This identifies the supplier's organisation in the EDI transmission and must match the ID provided by your supplier.
- **Active: **Enable this checkbox for each branch line where you want remittance export to be active. Only branches marked as active will generate and export remittance advice files during payment processing.

When a payment batch is posted through Payment Selection Batches, the system checks for active remittance export configurations and automatically generates EDI 820 files for qualifying suppliers

# Other Configuration Considerations

## 1. Payment Selection Batches

Payment processing triggers automated EDI 820 file generation for suppliers configured for remittance export. 

Navigation Path: **Payables** > **Transaction Processing** > **Payment Selection Batches. **

EDI export occurs automatically after payment batch posting. Ensure export directories are accessible and valid before processing payments for EDI-enabled suppliers.
