- Under the French e-invoicing reform, invoices are transmitted through accredited platforms and the Public Invoice Portal using predefined data flows.
- The reform covers various invoice types, including standard, down payment, self-billing, factoring invoices, and corrections via credit notes or rectificative invoices.
- Invoices must be issued in structured electronic formats: UBL, CII, or Factur-X.
- Accredited Platforms validate, route, and transmit invoice data to both the buyer’s platform and the Public Invoice Portal for tax compliance.
- The system introduces structured invoice lifecycle statuses, such as Deposited, Received, Rejected, Refused, and In dispute.
