This specification provides the definition of the Debit advice message (DEBADV) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.

A Debit Advice is sent by the Account Servicing Financial Institution to the Account Owner to inform the Account Owner that its account has been or will be debited for a specified amount on the date indicated, in settlement of the referenced business transaction(s).

The Debit advice message may be used for both national and international applications. It is based on universal practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.

A Debit Advice may cover the financial settlement of one or more commercial trade transactions, such as invoices, credit notes, debit notes, etc. It is not intended for use in securities trading.

See UNTDID, Part 4, Chapter 2.3 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 1.
