Business value
French e-invoicing and e-reporting mandates will become mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses from September 2026. This feature helps your company maintain compliance with DGFiP regulations, avoid penalties, and streamline invoice exchange through certified PDPs. By supporting Peppol BIS3 and Factur-X formats, you can automate invoice processing, enhance interoperability, and reduce manual effort, all while fulfilling legal requirements for B2B transactions and real-time reporting.
Feature details
Business Central adds support for e-invoicing and e‑reporting in France, following the DGFiP five‑corner model. Microsoft doesn't operate as a certified Partner Dematerialization Platform (PDP); instead, companies can use existing E‑Document connectors to exchange invoices and lifecycle messages through certified PDP providers. The localization app enables two compliant formats: Peppol BIS3 (XML) and Factur‑X (PDF/A‑3 with embedded XML).
The feature supports sending and receiving structured e‑invoices for sales and purchase processes, including all mandatory lifecycle statuses. Companies will use the standard E-Document module with the localization app for setup, where they can select one of the supported formats: Peppol BIS3 and Factur-X. Formats and integration services can be configured by running the E-Document Service page. Business Central also generates Transaction E‑Reporting for operations where structured invoices are not required but are required to be reported to French authorities in specific periods (monthly or quarterly).
This functionality ensures that Business Central meets French e‑invoicing and CTC obligations effective September 2026, supporting invoice lifecycle traceability, and simplifying reporting obligations.
