The main change: receiving your supplier invoices

From September 1, 2026 , large companies and medium-sized French companies (ETI) will be required to send you their invoices in electronic format.

This includes, in particular:

• Energy suppliers
• Telephone and Internet operators
• Raw material suppliers
• More broadly, all French suppliers affected by the reform.

From September 1, 2027 , this obligation will be extended to all your other French suppliers.

Tips

Invoices from your suppliers located abroad are not affected by this reform.

You will continue to receive them exactly as you do today. Nothing changes.

How will you receive your invoices?

If you have chosen the Freshprocess Electronic Invoicing offer , the transition will be completely seamless.

Your suppliers will continue to send you their invoices, but these will arrive directly in your Freshprocess software , in electronic format.

To achieve this, Freshcore has entered into a partnership with the Approved Platform (PA) SuperPDP , which will ensure the exchanges between your company and the administration.

Therefore, you will not have any technical connections to manage.

Why create your account now?

Even if few companies will be affected by the issuance of electronic invoices from September 2026, almost all companies will have to be able to receive electronic invoices from their French suppliers.

Creating your Freshprocess account today allows you to:

✓ Be listed in the national business directory.

✓ Allow your suppliers to find you automatically.

✓ Receive your electronic invoices without interruption.

✓ Be ready on the day the reform comes into effect.

Today, your main concern is therefore receiving invoices from your suppliers.

The national business directory

To ensure that each electronic invoice automatically reaches the correct recipient, the administration is setting up a National Business Directory.

This directory lists all French companies subject to VAT.

Each company is identified there by its SIREN (or SIRET) number.

When a supplier issues an electronic invoice:

1. Its platform queries the national directory.
2. It identifies the customer's receiving platform.
3. The invoice is automatically sent to the correct recipient.

The directory is updated daily by the administration and approved platforms.

In practice, your supplier will identify you using your SIREN number , and you will also identify your suppliers using theirs.

Invoices intended for government agencies

Electronic invoicing has existed for public procurement since 2017 .

Government agencies now use the Chorus Pro platform to receive their invoices.

Suppliers have two options:

• Continue to submit their invoices directly on Chorus Pro (Portal, API or EDI).

• Or they can send their invoices via their Approved Platform, which will then communicate with Chorus Pro.

Freshprocess will also support Chorus Pro

To simplify your procedures, Freshprocess will also offer this direct link with Chorus Pro.

This feature will be available during 2027 , so that you can manage both your invoices for businesses and those for public bodies from a single interface.

To remember

✓ From September 1, 2026 , your priority is to be able to receive electronic invoices from your French suppliers.

✓ By creating your Freshprocess account, you will be automatically registered in the national directory.
