Overview
This section covers the French e-invoicing localization in Business Central. It has two pages and no subtopics. Both rely on the e-document framework: you configure an e-document service and a workflow, and documents are exported automatically.
The first page explains how to enable electronic invoicing with UBL 2.1 (PEPPOL BIS 3.0) or Factur-X to meet the French e-invoicing reform. It covers setup of company information, customers, vendors, e-document services and workflows for automatic export and delivery to a PDP.
The second page covers the E-Reporting FR e-document format. It generates structured XML for transactions that must be reported to the tax authority, and describes setup for PDPs such as Pagero and Avalara. Start with the invoicing page, then move to e-reporting if you have transactions that need reporting.
