AJT
On this page
Adjustment Details. The EDIFACT segment that qualifies the reason and context of an adjustment.
Definition
The AJT (Adjustment Details) segment specifies the reason for an adjustment applied to a line or a total. It carries a coded adjustment reason (UNCL 4465) and an adjustment line number. It typically accompanies quantity or monetary segments to justify a correction.
Origin
AJT appears in the UN/CEFACT UNTDID. It is used in messages such as REMADV (Remittance Advice) and CREADV (Credit Advice) where discrepancies between invoiced and paid amounts need line-level justification.
Example in context
AJT+10:SP+1'Here, 10 codes the adjustment reason (Goods short shipped), SP qualifies responsibility (Shipping party), and 1 identifies the adjustment line.
