E-Invoicing and e-reporting for France—General Availability

With e-invoicing and e-reporting, Sage Intacct provides a seamless compliance experience for French businesses.

E-Invoicing automates the transmission of transaction data and status updates so that you can focus on business operations while Intacct silently handles your regulatory obligations in the background.

Key benefits

• Comply with French mandates: Meet France’s 2026 e-invoicing and e-reporting requirements by exchanging structured AR sales invoices and standardizing the transmission of transaction data for B2C and cross-border activities.
• Reduce manual effort: Replace manual processes with automated AP and AR workflows using structured data, minimizing errors, rework, and reliance on email-based PDFs or manual entry.

After you’ve subscribed to E-Invoicing for France and enabled your French entities, you can do the following:

• Send e-invoices from Accounts Receivable or Order Entry.
• Receive e-invoices in Accounts Payable, with or without AP Automation.
• Report all business-to-customer or foreign-operator transactions to French tax authorities with e-reporting.

How it works

Set up the E-Invoicing subscription

1. Enable the E-Invoicing subscription for France.

2. Enable your French entities for e-invoicing.

3. Add or verify SIREN or SIRET numbers and electronic addresses in customer records and customers' Bill-to contacts.

4. Enable GL journals for e-reporting in your French entities.

How e-invoicing works

All transactions are routed through your PA provider and reported automatically.

1. Create and send customer AR sales invoices in Accounts Receivable or Order Entry.

   1. Select e-invoice as the AR sales invoice type and select the AR sales invoice mode.

   2. Track the status of outgoing e-invoices in the Invoice list in Accounts Receivable.

2. Receive, review, and post incoming e-invoices in Accounts Payable.

How e-reporting works

There are 3 types of e-reporting submissions: sales, purchases, and payments. Mark transactions for inclusion in an e-report as follows:

1. Switch to the French entity.

2. For e-report of sales: Mark e-reporting sales transactions as follows:

   • For B2B invoices to a foreign customer: In Accounts Receivable create an AR sales invoice, or in Order Entry create a OE sales invoice.

     Select E-Reporting as the AR sales invoice type and select the appropriate AR sales invoice mode.

   • For B2C sales: In General Ledger, add a journal entry to an e-reporting-enabled journal.

     Select Outbound taxes for sales for tax implications, select B2C sales as the type of e-reporting, and select the appropriate AR sales invoice mode.

3. For e-report of purchases: Mark e-reporting purchasing transactions as follows:

   • For B2B purchases from a foreign supplier: Create an AP bill with E-Reporting as the invoice type and the appropriate invoice mode selected.

4. For e-report of payments: Mark e-reporting payment transactions as follows:

   • For B2B payments: Receive AR payments as usual.

     Only AR payments applied on an AR invoice with "service" invoice mode are used for e-reporting.

   • For B2C payments: In General Ledger, add a journal entry to an e-reporting-enabled journal.

     Select the tax implications as None, and select B2C payment as the type of e-reporting.

5. Create and submit e-reports for the period. Track the status of e-reporting submission in the e-reporting list.

   You can add transactions to an e-report throughout the period before submitting the e-report.

   To ensure that all required submissions are included in e-reports, for each reporting type set the reporting period to start the day after the previous reporting period ends.
