The latest version 2.4 of the French B2B e-invoicing mandate specifications has been eagerly anticipated and is now available for download on the DGFiP portal.

These specifications, deemed “almost-final,” will serve as the foundation for constructing the PPF (Portail Public de Facturation) central platform.

They are available for download directly on the DGFiP portal.

This release follows a commitment made by the DGFiP during the Journée de la Facturation Electronique event (“e-invoicing day”) in March, promising the publication within the second quarter of 2024. These updated guidelines are crucial as they will be used directly in the development of the PPF central platform.

For service providers aspiring to become PDPs (“Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire”), this new version 2.4 offers a comprehensive framework to start developing their own platforms. It introduces significant changes, including enhancements to the central directory management, updates to rounding tolerance, and many other improvements.

A key new specification is that only one “human-readable” document (such as a PDF version of the invoice or an annex) can be attached to an electronic invoice. Any attempt to include additional human-readable documents will result in automatic rejection of the invoice.

Looking ahead, the French government plans to release a pilot version of the central directory by the end of 2024. This pilot will enable PDPs to begin integrating with this vital component of the project, marking an important step towards full implementation.
