Setting Up French Electronic Invoicing

French electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) enables Certinia to send and receive compliant e-invoices in France through Storecove, supporting B2B, B2G (business-to-government), and B2C document types.

Before You Begin

Before setting up French e-invoicing, ensure that you have completed the standard Storecove e-invoicing setup. For more information, see the e-invoicing setup topics.

Enable the Feature

Use the Electronic Invoicing Localization Feature Console feature to enable French e-invoicing. Complete the France steps in the feature to deploy the required fields and configuration to your org.

For more information, see Enabling Electronic Invoicing Localization.

Configure Account Document Entity Types

After enabling the feature, configure the E-Invoicing Document Entity Type field on each Account Extension record to specify the default document entity type for e-invoices sent from or received by that account.

  • Invoice/B2B — Standard business-to-business invoicing. This is the default.
  • Invoice/B2G — Business-to-government invoicing. Use this for accounts that are government entities.
  • Simplified invoice/ticket/B2C — Simplified invoicing for consumers.

You can also override the document entity type on individual sales invoices and sales credit notes using the Document Entity Type field. For more information, see Custom Account Fields, Sales Invoice Fields, and Sales Credit Note Fields.

Configure Field Mappings

French e-invoicing introduces new field mappings for additional party roles and French-specific fields. Configure these mappings as required for your business:

  • BuyerAgent — The agent acting on behalf of the buyer.
  • PayerParty — The party responsible for payment.
  • PayeeParty — The party to which payment is made.
  • InvoiceeParty — The party that receives and validates the invoice. Required for B2G e-invoicing to identify the government entity.
  • InvoicerParty — The party that issues the invoice.
  • FrCadreDeFacturation — The legal framework of billing. Required for B2G e-invoicing.
  • InvoiceTypeCode — The document type code for invoices.
  • CreditNoteTypeCode — The document type code for credit notes.
  • PublicIdentifier — Public identifier details (ID and scheme) for each party role.
  • AdditionalItemProperties — Line-level additional item properties, including name code, value quantity, and value quantity unit code.
