PU 508 | 507 | 506 (Globe+): French e-Invoicing supported (French legislation)

To support the French e-invoicing legislation, Exact Globe+ introduces French e-invoicing and e-reporting capabilities. This enables organisations operating under the French legislation to generate compliant electronic invoices in Factur-X format and maintain the required identification information for electronic invoicing.

e-Invoicing applies to the following:

  • Domestic B2B - Invoices where both supplier and customer are established in France and the transaction is within the French VAT invoicing scope.

e-Reporting applies to the following:

  • B2C sales – Transaction data is reported instead of sending an e-Invoice platform to the consumer.
  • Cross-border B2B flows (intra-EU and extra-EU sales or purchases) – France still requires structured reporting of VAT-relevant data.
  • Certain payment data requirements for specific transactions (cash based VAT mainly for services) to support VAT chargeability monitoring.

Company data settings

The SIREN/SIRET field has been added under the Numbers section at System > General > Settings > Company data settings.

 

Select E-invoicing type identifier “0002” and enter a valid Company SIREN number (9 digits) in the SIREN/SIRET number field.

0002: SIREN and 0009: SIRET options

The 0002: SIREN and 0009: SIRET options have been added at the E-Invoicing type identifier field in the following screens:

  • Debtor maintenance

  • Creditor maintenance

Conditions screen

The Trans. Category field has been added under the Invoice data section in the Conditions screen at Invoice > Entries > Invoices and Invoice > Reports > Invoice history. The options will be displayed based on the invoice debtor country code. The options below will be displayed if the invoice debtor is “FR” (for B2B domestic).

Code Description
B1 Dépôt d'une facture de bien
S1 Dépôt d'une facture de service
M1 Dépôt d'une facture double (livraison de bien et services qui ne sont pas accessoires l'une de l'autre)
B2 Dépôt d'une facture de bien déjà payée
S2 Dépôt d'une facture de service déjà payée
M2 Dépôt d'une facture double déjà payée
S3 Dépôt d'une facture de service de sous-traitance avec paiement direct
B4 Dépôt d'une facture définitive (après acompte) de bien
S4 Dépôt d'une facture définitive (après acompte) de service
M4 Dépôt d'une facture définitive (après acompte) double
S5 Dépôt par un sous-traitant d’une facture de service
S6 Dépôt par un cotraitant d’une facture de service
B7 Dépôt d'une facture de bien ayant fait l'objet d'un e-reporting (TVA déjà collectée)
S7 Dépôt d'une facture de service ayant fait l'objet d'un e-reporting (TVA déjà collectée)

The options below will be displayed if the invoice debtor is not “FR” (for B2B foreign) or Private person is selected for the invoice debtor (for B2C).

Code Description
TLB1 Livraisons de biens soumises à la taxe sur la valeur ajoutée
TPS1 Prestations de services soumises à la taxe sur la valeur ajoutée
TLB1 + TPS1 Les opérateurs doivent distinguer les LB et les PS en e-reporting B2C (cf. lignes de facture)

 

Goods or Services must be selected at Classification ESL in the Item maintenance. The default value in the Trans. Category field S1 for B2B domestic if the first item in the Invoice entry's Classification ESL is Services, and TPS1 is displayed for B2B foreign or B2C.

If the Classification ESL is not defined for the first item in the Item maintenance in the invoice entry, Goods (for example, B1 for B2B domestic and TLB1 for B2B foreign or B2C) is displayed.

 

The default value in the Trans. Category field is determined by the first item line in the invoice to determine if it is B1/S1 or TLB1/TPS1.

VAT code maintenance

The Nature field is available in the VAT codes screen. This field displays the VAT category, and the options will be taken from the TaxNature.xml file in the XML folder.

 

The options in the Nature field are displayed based on the following conditions:

  • Category is exemption – VAT 0% is selected (regardless of percentage value) or 0% VAT and VAT charged is not selected.

  • Category is standard – VAT 0% is not selected and VAT is not 0%.

  • Category is VATCharged – VAT 0% and VAT charged are selected.

Debtor maintenance

The eInvoice checkbox in the debtor maintenance will always be enabled for all sending methods.

 

Generating e-invoices

A generated e-invoice generated is compliant with Factur-X (PDF/A-3). The embedded factur-x.xml file will contain a structured XML representation of the invoice data, whereby the XML file will be automatically embedded into the PDF during the final invoice processing as a CII format e-Invoice. PDF will be generated without embedded XML for trial prints.

The embedded XML will follow the FRCIIExport.xsl stylesheet. The PDF file name will be <InvoiceNumber>_<InvoiceDate>(yyyyMMdd).pdf.

 

Select the Include additional attachment in XML checkbox to include additional attachments in the e-Invoice XML. If this checkbox is not selected, only one PDF attachment will be included in the XML.

Note: The Include additional attachment in XML checkbox is not available for product update 506. 

e-Invoice XML mapping to the VAT CategoryCode

If the Nature field in the VAT code is not defined, the following VAT CategoryCode are used:

  • AE – VAT charged is selected (ExemptionReason is Reverse charge)
  • S – Percentage is not equal to 0
  • E – Percentage is equal to 0 and VAT 0% exemption is selected (ExemptionReason is Exempt)
  • K – Percentage is equal to 0 and EU sales list is not “No listing” under the EU tab
  • Z – Percentage is equal to 0

The ExemptionReason is determined based on the codes below followed by the CategoryCode:

  • AE – Reverse charge
  • E – EXEMPT
  • K – ICL

 



 

Additional <InvoiceReferencedDocument> block will be displayed when the credit note XML is generated. This will reference back to the original sales invoice number.

If the Include additional attachment in XML checkbox is selected in the Print invoice screen, multiple attachments will be included in the XML.

 The following formats are supported for the attachments:

  • jpg and jpeg
  • png
  • pdf
  • csv
  • xlsx
  • ods and docx

Importing Factur-X, CII and UBL XML

You can select a PDF or XML file at Finance > Entries > Purchase and import the Factur-X PDF, CII, and UBL XML files into Exact Globe+.

When importing an e-Invoice, the system will check whether the <ram:SpecifiedLegalOrganisasation>/<ram:ID> value is in the XML file or the XML that was embedded in the PDF file. This value is used to identify the creditor based on the following priority:

  1. The value is matched with the value in the E-Invoicing Identifier field for the creditor.
  2. If there are multiple attachment blocks in the XML, all the attachments in the purchase entry will be included.
