France: Supplier Identifier

France has specific requirements for modeling Suppliers' identifiers.

The Supplier Identifier differs for French and non-French Suppliers.

French suppliers

For a French supplier who is sending Documents to Chorus Pro via PEPPOL, you must use the SIRET number. The @aschemeID attribute must be 0009.

Non-French suppliers

For a non-French supplier, the Seller Identifier can be a Global Location Number (GLN). You must specify 0088 in the @schemeID attribute.
