- France’s e-invoicing reform involves more than Factur-X, PDP accreditation, and the September 2026 go-live; it is operationally defined by AFNOR XP Z12-014, which lists 44 standardized B2B use cases.
- These use cases detail how real ERP billing scenarios must flow through PDPs, the PPF, and DGFiP systems, and are embedded in version 3.1 of the external specifications.
- The reform covers core domestic B2B invoicing, credit notes and invoice corrections, and special commercial arrangements, each with specific ERP scenarios that must comply with structured formats and reporting requirements.
- Even routine operations like invoice corrections and special arrangements now require strict traceability, status sequencing, and visibility to DGFiP, as standardized by AFNOR XP Z12-014.
