Lasernet Use Cases

Meeting E-Invoicing Requirements in France

Written by Formpipe | 30 September 2025

France is entering the next phase of its e-invoicing journey. From September 2026, all B2B domestic invoices must be issued and transmitted electronically through certified platforms, with structured formats and real-time reporting to tax authorities. For businesses, the challenge isn’t just compliance - it’s avoiding unnecessary complexity and duplicate costs along the way.

The Challenge: Complex and Costly Compliance

E-invoicing under the French mandate requires invoices to be submitted via certified Plateformes d’Accréditation (PAs) in formats such as Factur-X, UBL, or CII. Many businesses face added expense when they rely on third parties or their PA to transform ERP data into these formats. This creates inefficiency, duplicate charges, and a lack of control over a critical part of the invoicing process. At the same time, businesses must be ready to receive e-invoices from September 2026, even if they are not required to issue them until later.

The Lasernet Approach: In-House Compliance Made Simple

Lasernet enables organisations to manage e-invoicing in France directly from their ERP, without outsourcing formatting or data transformation. Invoices are created in compliant formats such as Factur-X, UBL, and CII, generated automatically from ERP data, and routed to certified platforms. Rules ensure each invoice is validated before transmission, preventing errors or rejections. Lasernet also tracks invoice status in real time, showing whether an invoice has been deposited, rejected, disputed, or collected, giving businesses full visibility and control.

Why It Matters

The benefits are clear:
  • Compliance: invoices always meet French standards and EU directives.
  • Efficiency: compliant formats are generated in-house, reducing reliance on costly third parties.
  • Transparency: real-time status updates ensure full visibility over invoice transmission.

Compliance Without Extra Cost

With Lasernet, businesses can comply with France’s e-invoicing mandate while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services. By bringing compliance in-house, organisations gain control, reduce costs, and ensure their invoicing processes remain efficient and reliable.
