B2B e-invoicing and e-reporting
France
In France every VAT-liable business has had to be able to receive e-invoices since 1 September 2026; large and mid-sized companies must also issue them, and smaller companies follow on 1 September 2027. Invoices travel through an approved platform.
Supported processes
Sending through an approved platform
The invoice is converted into the format the approved platform expects and delivered to the buyer.
Receiving invoices
Documents arriving from the platform are collected, validated and written into SAP.
Transaction data reporting
Data for the transactions in scope of e-reporting is transmitted from the same layer.
Integration path
The document is created inside SAP. Country-specific rules are applied outside SAP, in the TecT BTP Bridge layer; from there the document is sent through the approved platform to the buyer and the result is written back to the record in SAP.
Clean Core is preserved: no local add-on is installed in the SAP core, and when the regulation changes the update is made in the integration layer. The same structure works from SAP R/3 through to Public Cloud.
