How do I declare payments for a B2B France invoice?

For a B2B France invoice whose VAT is due on collection, collections do not go into the same e-reporting block as an international or B2C invoice. They are sent as a CDAR lifecycle status, Cross Domain Acknowledgement and Response, the standardized message used for invoice lifecycle events. The status used for collection is status 212 Collected.

If the B2B France invoice is subject to VAT on debits, the PA obligation concerns the invoice and its transmission or processing statuses, not a tax declaration of collection.

Tempolia builds a lifecycle message in CDAR format attached to the deposited invoice. This CDAR contains the invoice reference, the payment due date used as payment date, and collected amounts broken down by VAT rate.

Each partial payment can produce a separate collection status. For example, an invoice paid in three installments will generate three collection events if the three payments are collected on different dates.

Tempolia requires a PA deposit identifier to already exist for the invoice. This avoids sending a collection that cannot be attached on the PA side. If the invoice does not yet have a PA identifier, Tempolia reports the error in the result and history.

Sent collection statuses are recorded in PA history so that the invoice, payment, sending date and platform response can be found.
