What's new?​

The E-Invoicing guide for France gained a new section on testing sending and receiving. The most efficient way is a single onboarded test company: there is no need for a second company or a real trading partner, as you can address a test invoice to yourself. The test company also needs its full e-invoicing configuration, same as the productive company.

  • A new warning documents VATonPayment, which must be set to true / 1 when the company is liable for VAT on receipt of payment (TVA sur les encaissements), as otherwise no payment data is reported for B2C and cross-border B2B transactions. It is repeated in the France tab of the Quick Start Guide.

What this means for our users?​

  • Testing - Integrators can validate the complete French flow, from outbox through delivery to inbox, without a second company or a real trading partner.
  • Payment reporting - Companies liable for VAT on receipt of payment now know they have to set VATonPayment if they want their payments to be reported.
