Keep plateforme agréée exchange connected to financial action

Your plateforme agréée handles exchange; InvoiceDX does not transmit to the PPF. It gives each rejected, disputed or unmatched status an owner, a rule and a permitted ERP action.

Legal mandate

French e-invoicing via a plateforme agréée

Dated sources and legal status are shown per obligation block below. Mandate status is the authority's; readiness is ours.

E-invoicing mandates, dated and sourced →

Authorised-provider role

Your plateforme agréée — or one we recommend — keeps the statutory exchange and e-reporting role, including transmission to the public invoicing portal (PPF). It settles the regulated exchange, not what finance does when a status comes back rejected, disputed or unmatched in the ERP. Those statuses are where supplier disputes, late approvals and VAT differences hide. InvoiceDX gives each one an owner, a rule and a permitted ERP action — in a test environment today.

Does not transmit: InvoiceDX is not a plateforme agréée and does not transmit to the PPF.

Who uses the France workflow

Each role sees the same exception, its owner and its evidence — never a direct line to a tax authority.

Three obligations, three statuses

E-invoicing exchange, transaction reporting and periodic return support

Each block shows the law on the left and InvoiceDX's readiness on the right. A country's legal mandate never establishes InvoiceDX's availability.

E-invoicing exchange / clearance

E-invoicing via plateforme agréée

In law

From 1 September 2026 all businesses must be able to receive electronic invoices, and large and intermediate-sized enterprises must issue them through a plateforme agréée (DGFiP calendar, updated 28 September 2026). From 1 September 2027 micro-enterprises and SMEs must issue electronic invoices (DGFiP factsheet 3).

Where InvoiceDX standsDemo / test-ready

Invoice statuses returned by your plateforme agréée are connected to exception ownership, delegated approval and ERP status in a test environment.

  • Your plateforme agréée keeps the registered exchange role; InvoiceDX works alongside it.
  • Demo/test-ready: see the workflow on your data in a test environment before any production deployment.
Transaction reporting

E-reporting

In law

E-reporting of B2C and cross-border transactions and of payment data is transmitted by your plateforme agréée under the French reform; the applicable dates follow the DGFiP calendar for your enterprise size.

Where InvoiceDX standsConcept

E-reporting is transmitted by your plateforme agréée end to end; InvoiceDX works on the invoice statuses it returns.

  • Transmission to the PPF stays with your plateforme agréée.
  • InvoiceDX support for e-reporting is stated as a concept; your plateforme agréée performs it today.
Periodic return support

CA3 VAT return

In law

The CA3 is the periodic VAT return filed under the régime réel normal; it remains a separate obligation from e-invoicing and e-reporting.

Review workpapers and reconciliation evidence between invoice statuses, the ledger and the return; filing stays with your return tool or expert-comptable.

  • Your return tool or expert-comptable files the CA3 from the workpapers InvoiceDX prepares.

    The exception is routed to the master-data owner; delegation of authority approves the correction

  4. 4

    The approved posting request goes to the ERP through the supported connector

  5. 5
