Description

This workshop, hosted by Iopole, focuses on e-reporting through the lens of a use case rarely addressed head-on: cash register (POS) software.

E-reporting is often overshadowed by e-invoicing, yet it represents a much larger share of the French 2026 reform: roughly 2 billion B2B invoices are expected to be exchanged, compared to close to 20 billion B2C transactions that fall under e-reporting. For POS editors, this is not a peripheral topic, it is the core of the reform.

The session includes a customer perspective from Chift, an Iopole client specializing in financial software interoperability, who shares first-hand experience connecting around 60 cash register systems to accounting software. Together, the session walks through: the difference between e-invoicing and e-reporting obligations, why the Z-ticket (daily register closing report) is not standardized and varies across POS editors, what structured data an Approved Platform actually needs to receive, and why Solution Compatibles, not the PA alone, carry a real share of the compliance work.

A concrete small-merchant case illustrates the practical challenges ahead, and the timeline businesses need to anticipate: September 2026 for larger companies, 2027 for smaller ones.

A useful session for POS software vendors, accounting software editors, and any Solution Compatible preparing for the French e-reporting obligation.
