Odoo electronic invoicing in France

Odoo Invoicing is your trusted partner for safe, efficient, and legally compliant e-invoicing solutions tailored to France’s regulatory standards.

Compliance with French e-invoicing regulations

Odoo Invoicing makes it easy for businesses to send, store, and ensure the integrity of their invoices. Here is how Odoo ensures compliance:

  • Supported formats: Odoo supports the Factur-X hybrid format (PDF with embedded XML) required for compliance with French e-invoicing standards. It is also compatible with UBL XML for transactions via the Peppol network, facilitating both local and international invoicing. Odoo enables businesses, through Chorus Pro France’s official e-invoicing platform, to submit compliant e-invoices directly to public authorities and soon to private sector recipients as B2B e-invoicing becomes mandatory.

  • Secure storage and retrieval: In compliance with French regulations, which require invoices to be stored for a minimum of 10 years, Odoo securely archives all invoices in a tamper-proof system, ensuring easy access for audits and inspections.

  • Automatic VAT calculation and reporting: Odoo Invoicing automates VAT calculations, ensuring invoices meet French VAT requirements and are formatted correctly for both B2G and B2B transactions, supporting seamless compliance with evolving standards.
