FNFE-MPE’s checklists are intended as a practical final readiness review rather than another general explanation of the French reform.

For invoice recipients, the checklist focuses on reception addresses, platform connectivity, duplicate invoices and correct use of rejection statuses. For approved platforms, it covers contractual requirements, core formats, lifecycle messages and daily directory synchronisation. [fnfe-mpe.org]

For issuers and e-reporting taxpayers, the checklist covers compliant Factur-X, UBL and CII flows, status feedback, rejected invoices, disputes and the four e-reporting components. [fnfe-mpe.org]
