1. Go to Company > Admin > Subscriptions.

2. On the Applications tab scroll to E-Invoicing, then select Subscribe.

3. Select Configure next to E-Invoicing.

4. On the Configure E-Invoicing page, review the terms and conditions and confirm your consent by selecting the confirmation checkbox.
5. Select Save.

1. Go to Company > Setup > Configuration > Entities.

2. Find the entity or entities that you want to configure.

3. One at a time for each entity, select Edit at the end of the row.

4. On the Entity information tab, verify the following information:

   • Tax solution is set to TVA Française.

   • The entity's base currency is EUR.

   • Operating country is set to France.

   • SIREN number is correct.

     Intacct checks that the number in the SIREN field is a valid SIREN number. If the number is not a 9-digit number, a message appears advising you to enter a valid number.

     When a valid SIREN number has been entered in the SIREN field, a validation page appears that displays the number, the company name, and the company address associated with that number.

     After you select Confirm on the validation page, additional fields become available. The SIREN number entered will be used when you send e-invoices.

5. In the E-Invoicing section, select Enable e-invoicing.

6. Select a Service provider. This is your e-invoicing PA (Plateforme Agréée).

   Option	Description
   Sage PA	Sage’s official Partner Platform (PA) that processes and sends your actual, live e-invoices.
   Sage PA demo	A sandbox environment to test and preview the e-invoicing workflow before going live. You can test here first and easily switch to the live Sage PA later. We recommend that you only use PA Demo in the sandbox and not in a live production environment, to avoid having test invoices in your production environment.
   Other PA	Select Other PA if you use a third-party platform and manage e-invoicing outside Intacct. This generates UBL files for manual upload to your provider.

   If you select Other PA, you cannot later change to either Sage PA or Sage PA demo. If you select Sage PA or Sage PA demo, you cannot later change to Other PA.

7. If you selected Sage PA or Sage PA demo as your service provider:

   1. Review the rest of the information displayed to confirm that it is as expected:

      • The details of the company you want to register for e-invoicing.

      • The PA that you are registering with.

      • The date from which the mandate will be effective.

        The default effective date is September 01 2026 if you subscribe on any date before September 01 2026, or 'today +1' if you subscribe after that date. You can choose to set this date to any date in the future but you cannot select a date in the past.

      • The e-invoicing address. This is identical to the SIREN number that was validated earlier.

      • The name of the person legally authorized to sign up. This name appears at the end of the E-Invoicing section.

   2. In section 7, enter the details of a company representative who has authority to sign on behalf of the company.

   3. Select I consent.

   If you selected Other PA, you do not need to confirm any additional information.

8. Select Save.

   The entity is added to the Subscriptions table on the Configure E-Invoicing page.

1. Go to Accounts Receivable > All > Customers.

2. Find the customer you want to be able to use E-Invoicing and select Edit at the end of the row.

3. On the Additional information tab, in the Invoicing details section, confirm that the SIRET number that is already there is the correct number for the customer, or enter the correct number.

   The SIRET number is a 14-digit number that starts with the SIREN number of a company followed by 5 digits, that identifies the company's physical location or branch.

4. Enter the electronic address.

   By default, the customer's electronic address is used to identify the recipient of the e-invoice. If you wish to send e-invoices to a different electronic address, update the customer's bill-to contact or transaction's bill-to contact that contains the desired electronic address.

   If the electronic address is unknown, enter the customer's SIREN number (the 9-digit number).

1. Switch to your French entity.

2. Go to General Ledger > Setup > Journals.

3. Find the journal you want to use for e-reporting and select Edit at the end of the row.

4. Select Enable for e-reporting.

5. Select Save.

Follow these steps for all users or roles that will use E-Invoicing or E-Reporting.

Create and post your e-invoices

How you proceed depends on whether you selected Sage PA or Other PA as your service provider.

• Sage PA: If you've set up your entities to use Sage PA as your service provider, create and post your e-invoices from Accounts Receivable or Order Entry as usual.

• Other PA: If you've set up your entities to use Other PA as your service provider, create and post your e-invoices in Accounts Receivable or Order Entry, then from Accounts Receivable download a UBL file and process it outside of Sage Intacct.

Receive and process incoming e-invoices

How you receive incoming e-invoices depends on how you have set up your service provider.

• Sage PA: If you've set up your entities to use Sage PA as your service provider, incoming e-invoices that were sent to your electronic address through a PA appear as draft transactions in the Automated transactions list in Accounts Payable.

• Other PA: If you've set up your entities to use Other PA as your service provider and you have subscribed to AP Automation, you can upload a UBL file that you receive, or forward an email that contains the UBL file as an attachment. After the e-invoice has finished processing, it appears in the Automated transactions list for you to review, accept, or refuse.

Create and submit e-reports

Creating and submitting e-reports is a 2-step process:

1. Create the e-reports: When you create e-reports, the transactions or batches of transactions that you add are uploaded to the accredited platform (PA—plateforme agréée).

2. Submit the e-reports:  At the end of the report period, you submit the report or reports to the French government.

There are 3 types of e-reporting submissions: sales, purchases, and payments. Each type of submission is included in its own e-report, so you may need to create and submit up to 3 different e-reports for every submission period.
