This customer remittance document can contain different details, based on the specific industry. These details can include customer bill-to, PO numbers, Kanban numbers, RANs, shipper numbers, invoice line-item numbers, sales order (SO) numbers, and others.

The customer remittance document must always include an amount payable to the supplier, which may be adjusted for defective or damaged parts and any other credits due.

Other industries do not necessarily rely on the customer-remitted document number as reference to the original supplier invoice. Instead, the supplied information must be used to reconcile the customer’s remittance document to the supplier’s invoice records.
