Adjustment Codes for Financial EDI
When doing business with Hy-Vee, suppliers may encounter a variety of financial adjustments communicated through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). These Adjustment Codes are used to explain deductions made from payments and help suppliers understand the reason behind each charge.
According to Hy-Vee, the adjustment code on Hy-Vee invoices will include a code either from the Payable Prompt Codes or from the Hy-Vee Payable Codes.
If you receive an EDI 820 from Hy-Vee, the included adjustment code (see column 1 in the table below) can help identify the reason for the deduction.
Please note: In the Hy-Vee Payable Codes & Definitions column, C/P refers to Company Payable and S/P refers to Stores Payable.
