France (Txns): Invoice Number

Invoice identification

(G1.42) In the case of a transfer declared by the seller, the invoice identifier, composed of the following elements: - Invoice number ( Maximum 35 characters - (TT-19) - Invoice production year (Based on the invoice issue date) - (TT-20) - Supplier identifier: SIREN number (TT-33). This must be unique. Invoice uniqueness aims to prevent billing errors (particularly double billing). An invoice with the same invoice identifier (cumulatively similar information for these three data points) as a previously sent invoice will be rejected by the platforms. The uniqueness check is systematically blocked. In the case of a billing mandate, the invoice number must have a root specific to the agent to avoid duplicate invoices with those of their principal. The invoice number must comply with the following BOFIP regulations: BOI-TVA-DECLA-30-20-20-10 of 18/10/2023 Section: A. Invoice numbering.
