France (Peppol): Overview
Get an overview of the requirements for France.
This country uses the PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 specification for e-invoicing.
PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 is based on the Universal Business Language (UBL2.1) format and adheres to the European standard for e-Invoicing (EN 16931).
PEPPOL also has its own requirements that are defined on top of UBL.
For Vertex e-Invoicing, this means you can create your VRBL as usual, but you must be aware of the requirements for each of the following formats and networks:

Mandate Information
B2G e-invoicing has been mandatory in France since January 1, 2020. All vendors to public entities must issue e-invoices via the central platform Chorus Pro.
A new e-invoicing platform is under development (called the Portail public de facturation (PPF)) but it is not decided if this will succeed the Chorus Pro platform.
