Business value

The Electronic Invoicing service allows businesses to fully automate the electronic invoicing clearance process end to end. This automation ranges from issuing sales, free text, and project invoices to submitting electronic invoices to Chorus Pro for clearance purposes and then distributing them to other companies registered in Chorus Pro.

This feature provides compliance with the legal requirements for electronic invoicing in France.

Feature details

Chorus Pro is an electronic invoicing platform in France. This platform became mandatory through a phased approach from 2017-2020 for companies that maintain commercial relations with French public sector companies (B2G). With the updated legislation, the electronic invoicing mandate in France will be expanded to all companies, including all B2B transactions between 2024 and 2026. Consequently, all French companies that are subject to VAT and who operate in B2B relationships will be required to use electronic invoicing with Chorus Pro starting in 2024, depending on company size.

The following functionality is implemented to support enabling new business processes and to address a new set of requirements, available for this preview:

  • Generate electronic invoice files in UBL Biz 3 (PEPPOL) format for sales invoice, free text invoice, and project invoice as a simple A1 invoice.
  • Submit electronic invoice files to the Chorus Pro Platform and process the statuses.

Note

The French e-invoice integration with Chorus Pro feature is available only as a capability within the Electronic Invoicing service.
