France electronic invoicing
Prepare French electronic invoices, monitor lifecycle statuses, generate e-reporting batches and connect MemoBILL to an approved platform.
MemoBILL provides a controlled workspace for French electronic invoicing. It generates structured invoice data, archives tamper-evident payload hashes, tracks lifecycle events, prepares e-reporting batches and tests configured connections.
MemoBILL is not presented as a registered platform
Regulated delivery and reporting must pass through a plateforme agréée registered by the French tax authority. MemoBILL is a compatible software solution unless and until an independently verified registration says otherwise.
Before enabling the module
Complete the organization legal identity in Settings → General, including the French country code, legal name, address, SIREN/SIRET or business registration number and VAT identifier where applicable. Then enable TOTP in Settings → Security & 2FA.
Sensitive actions require a new authenticator code every 15 minutes. This supports the transitional 2FA control applicable through 31 December 2029 and applies whether the account originally signed in with a password, Google or Apple.
Supported structured data
- UBL 2.1 XML generation
- UN/CEFACT CII D22B XML generation
- invoice lifecycle history with source, code, message, actor and timestamp
- incoming UBL, CII and Factur-X intake with a structural format check
- transaction and payment e-reporting extraction in minor currency units
Factur-X output requires a compliant PDF/A-3 packager. Current French CIUS and schematron validation remains the responsibility of the configured approved-platform adapter. MemoBILL reports this boundary instead of silently treating a basic XML or PDF as compliant.
Configuration
Open Settings → France e-invoicing and select:
- your operating mode;
- your approved-platform, Chorus Pro or Peppol connector;
- the provider name and independently checked registration reference;
- your routing identifier and scheme;
- UBL, CII or provider-generated Factur-X as the preferred format.
Connector credentials and endpoint URLs are server-side only. They are never sent to the browser or stored in organization-editable fields.
Evidence and certifications
The readiness register deliberately distinguishes software controls from external evidence. Entering a provider name or reference cannot create an ISO/IEC 27001 certificate, a SecNumCloud qualification, an EU-only processing guarantee or a DGFiP registration.
The deployment operator must independently verify:
- a valid ISO/IEC 27001 certificate covering the complete e-invoicing information system;
- EU operation and the absence of relevant transfers or support access outside the EU, including subprocessors;
- SecNumCloud qualification or admissible in-progress evidence when required;
- GDPR records, DPIA, processor agreements, retention, incident and continuity controls;
- identity-assurance procedures beyond the technical TOTP control;
- successful central-directory, administration, Chorus Pro and network interoperability tests.
