Get an overview of France (Txns).
Mandate
France's electronic invoicing reform introduces e-reporting requirements apart for the e-invoicing ones. E-reporting in France (also known as Flow 10) covers B2C and certain cross-border transactions and, in some cases, payment data.
Description
The following part of the French e-reporting mandate can be covered with the VRBL definition presented:
- Flow 10.1: Used to report cross-border invoices and involves the aggregation of all cross-border invoices received or issued (except imports outside the EU).
- Flow 10.3: Used to report aggregated B2C transactions.
For Flow 10.1 when reporting export and import invoices, full and valid VRBL FR Flow 2 Invoices (compliant to VRBL-Invoice-FR-CIUS-1p0) are expected.
Official Specification
The AFNOR XP Z12-012 standard defines the e-reporting specifications.

Document Conventions
The following terms are used in the element and group description tables:
XPath - An XPath is a query language used to navigate and select specific elements or data from an XML. In this case it refers to the VRBL document.
Cardinality - In XML, cardinality defines the minimum and maximum number of times a specific element or attribute can occur within a document from an xml schema perspective.
Usage - Usage is an implementation guideline that layers business rules and context onto an XML schema's strict cardinality.
Following values are allowed:
| Code | Description | Implementation Rule |
|---|---|---|
M | Mandatory (1 time) | Must be provided exactly once. |
Mn | Mandatory (n times) | Must be provided exactly n times. |
M+ | Mandatory (1 or more) | Must be provided at least once; repetitions allowed. |
O | Optional (1 time) | May be omitted or provided at most once. |
On | Optional (n times) | May be omitted or repeated up to n times. |
O* | Optional (0 or more) | May be omitted or repeated infinitely. |
C | Conditional | Must have a usage description specifying the business rule. |
Usage Description - Description of the business rule in case the usage is conditional.
Mandate Business Term - The original business term code for the element as defined by the mandate. Included only if available.
Final Format XPath - An XPath is a query language used to navigate and select specific elements or data from an XML. In this case it refers to the representation of the element or group in the final format xml.
