In brief<\/strong><\/p>\n Large companies and mid-sized businesses have begun their transition to electronic invoicing. While the major milestones have been reached, there are still areas that require attention. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ custom_padding=”||5%||false|false” inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Platform connected, teams mobilized, rollout underway\u2014for large corporations and mid-sized companies, the groundwork is generally in place. <\/p>\n As the go-live date approaches, however, several challenges could still jeopardize the project\u2019s success: e-reporting<\/strong>, business-specific requirements that were not sufficiently anticipated<\/strong>, or the validation of use cases under real-world conditions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n This article reviews these areas of concern and offers practical tips for addressing them. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ custom_padding=”||||false|false” inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ custom_margin=”||3%||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n At the 2026 Electronic Invoicing Conference<\/a>, the DGFiP reiterated that another postponement would only add to the stress and delay the system\u2019s rollout. The timeline has been confirmed and will remain in place. <\/p>\n On July 10, 2026, the Minister of Public Action and Accounts stated that a lenient approach would be taken toward businesses acting in good faith. There will be no immediate penalties for companies facing difficulties, provided they begin and document their efforts to comply. The DGFiP has published a practical guide on impots.gouv.fr<\/a> to support this transition. <\/p>\n As of September 1, 2026, three prerequisites must be met for the go-live:<\/p>\n The new mandatory information on <\/strong>invoices also takes effect as of this date: the customer\u2019s SIREN number, the transaction category, any applicable VAT option on debits, and the shipping address if it differs from the billing address.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ custom_padding=”||||false|false” inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_class=”bloc_2_colonnes” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px|auto|5%|auto|false|false” custom_padding=”|3rem|5%||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0rem|0px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|0rem|18%||false|false” animation_style=”fade” locked=”off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ module_class=”colonne_texte” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”4rem||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0rem||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0rem||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Auteur de la citation” module_class=”Droite” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_text_color=”#394147″ custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bFabrice QU\u00c9R\u00c9<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”M\u00e9tier de la citation” module_class=”Droite” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#5a6670″ text_font_size=”13px” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Manager Finance & Business Transformation<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Citation” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||on||||||” text_text_color=”#1c2124″ text_line_height=”30px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” animation_style=”fade” animation_delay=”250ms” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”18px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_line_height_tablet=”” text_line_height_phone=”30px” text_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Our clients are not all at the same stage of progress; some are on schedule, but many know that they will still have major milestones to reach after September 1\u2014such as global deployment, e-reporting, and very specific cases\u2026<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ module_class=”Colonne1″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/www.sqorus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/guillemet.svg” background_size=”custom” background_image_width=”13%” background_position=”top_right” background_horizontal_offset=”8%” custom_padding=”|20px|2rem||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.sqorus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Fabrice-QUERE.png” alt=”Marc-Edouard BELLEST” title_text=”Fabrice QUERE” force_fullwidth=”on” admin_label=”Photo de l’auteur de la citation” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” background_size=”custom” background_image_width=”15%” background_position=”top_right” background_horizontal_offset=”-5%” custom_margin=”||||false|true” custom_padding=”|2rem||2rem|false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”|5rem||5rem|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|0rem||0rem|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” border_radii=”on|300px|300px|300px|300px” border_width_all=”8px” border_color_all=”#d7dce0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px|||||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ custom_padding=”||5%||false|false” inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In virtually all projects, teams naturally focus on e-invoicing<\/strong>andthe B2B invoicing workflow, and<\/strong>put e-reporting on the back burner. This is where issues start to pile up as the launch approaches. The\u202f figures from the PPF pilot\u202f <\/strong><\/a>show that, as of mid-July 2026, the e-reporting data flows received by the PPF remained well below expected volumes. <\/p>\n Most companies and platforms have treated e-reporting as a secondary priority. However, it covers a wide range of often complex use cases:B2C transactions, international operations, and payment data for<\/strong>services rendered. <\/p>\n Inadequate configuration or incomplete testing of these data flows can lead to reporting anomalies as early as the first few weeks of operation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ background_color=”#f7fbff” custom_margin=”||12%||false|false” custom_padding=”5%|5%|5%|5%|true|true” border_radii=”on|23px|23px|23px|23px” locked=”off” inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Practical Tips: <\/strong> Start by identifying all the processes not covered by e-invoicing. Then, verify that each one is properly supported by your platform and validate their functionality through tests conducted before go-live. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The\u202f reform<\/strong><\/a>\u202f does not apply uniformly to all billing flows. Certain sectors involve complex use cases. These require specific handling, which is often not adequately anticipated during the initial project scoping phase. <\/p>\n Retention of guarantee, reverse VAT charging for subcontracting, joint contracting, joint venture companies (SEP)<\/strong>: these cases require precise configuration that generic guides do not always cover, otherwise the transaction may be rejected by the recipient\u2019s approved platform.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ background_color=”#f7fbff” custom_margin=”||12%||false|false” custom_padding=”5%|5%|5%|5%|true|true” border_radii=”on|23px|23px|23px|23px” locked=”off” inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Practical Tips: <\/strong> List your specific use cases. For each one, verify that a test invoice has been issued and received without being rejected. A case that hasn’t been tested is a case that will fail in production.\u202f <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ custom_margin=”||5%||false|false” inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Beyond these advances, one question remains: Have all scenarios actually been tested under real-world conditions?<\/p>\n A connected system is not a tested system. This is something we consistently see in the PPF pilot: companies that thought they were ready but discovered during production that their subcontracting scenario or B2C workflow had not been configured correctly. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ background_color=”#f7fbff” custom_margin=”||12%||false|false” custom_padding=”5%|5%|5%|5%|true|true” border_radii=”on|23px|23px|23px|23px” locked=”off” inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Practical Tips: <\/strong> Don\u2019t limit yourself to integration tests. Simulate real-world scenarios using your business workflows. This is the stage at which any discrepancies and necessary adjustments are identified, well before go-live. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ custom_padding=”||||false|false” inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ custom_margin=”||5%||false|false” inline_fonts=”Roboto” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n SQORUS does not step in to take over your project.
