Odoo electronic invoicing in France
|
||
===================================
|
||
|
||
Odoo Invoicing is your trusted partner for safe, efficient, and legally compliant e-invoicing
|
||
solutions tailored to France's regulatory standards.
|
||
|
||
Legal framework for e-invoicing in France
|
||
=========================================
|
||
|
||
In France, electronic invoicing is regulated by the `Ordonnance n° 2019-359
|
||
<https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jorf/id/JORFTEXT000038410002>`_, which is aligned with `EU Directive
|
||
2014/55/EU <https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32014L0055>`_, and requires
|
||
mandatory :abbr:`B2G (business-to-government)` e-invoicing through the Chorus Pro platform. Starting
|
||
in 2024, B2B e-invoicing will be progressively implemented, becoming mandatory for all businesses by
|
||
2026. This reform aims to combat tax fraud, improve VAT collection, and enhance business
|
||
transparency. The Factur-X hybrid format (a combination of PDF and XML data) is widely used in
|
||
France, ensuring compliance with both local and European e-invoicing standards.

||
Compliance with French e-invoicing regulations
|
||
==============================================
|
||
|
||
Odoo Invoicing makes it easy for businesses to send, store, and ensure the integrity of their
|
||
invoices. Here is how Odoo ensures compliance:
|
||
|
||
- **Supported formats**: Odoo supports the Factur-X hybrid format (PDF with embedded XML) required
|
||
for compliance with French e-invoicing standards. It is also compatible with :abbr:`UBL (Universal
|
||
Business Language)` XML for transactions via the Peppol network, facilitating both local and
|
||
international invoicing. Odoo enables businesses, through Chorus Pro France’s official e-invoicing
|
||
platform, to submit compliant e-invoices directly to public authorities and soon to private sector
|
||
recipients as B2B e-invoicing becomes mandatory.
|
||
- **Secure storage and retrieval**: In compliance with French regulations, which require invoices to
|
||
be stored for a minimum of 10 years, Odoo securely archives all invoices in a tamper-proof system,
|
||
ensuring easy access for audits and inspections.
|
||
- **Automatic VAT calculation and reporting**: Odoo Invoicing automates VAT calculations, ensuring
|
||
invoices meet French VAT requirements and are formatted correctly for both B2G and B2B
|
||
transactions, supporting seamless compliance with evolving standards.
