Pennylane: e-Invoicing & e-Reporting compliance
Context
France is introducing mandatory structured B2B e-invoicing: from September 2026 for large and mid-sized enterprises, and from 2027 for all remaining businesses. Domestic B2B invoices must be exchanged as structured electronic invoices (EN 16931, with Factur-X as the recommended format) through certified Plateformes de Dématérialisation Partenaires (PDPs). The State portal (PPF) now acts only as a directory and aggregator; it is no longer a direct exchange channel.

What’s new
Introduce a new type PDF/A3 Invoice with Fully compliant Factur-X.xml embedded.
e-Invoicing coverage: Domestic B2B invoices are now exported as PDF/A-3 files with a fully compliant Factur-X XML payload (EN 16931 CII) and transmitted to Pennylane acting as a certified PDP.
e-Reporting coverage: International B2B invoices and anonymous B2C sales, a key blind spot for ticketing, are now declared to Pennylane’s e-Reporting engine alongside e-invoicing flows.
SFTP delivery for invoice exports: The invoice export webhook can now deposit files on an SFTP server, in addition to the existing HTTPS push option.
Important: e-Invoicing and e-Reporting are mutually exclusive. Each transaction is declared only once, through one channel or the other.
Getting started
No action is required for existing Pennylane customers. e-Reporting and the additional Factur-X fields apply automatically.
To switch invoice webhook delivery to SFTP, update the interface delivery channel and connection details, then contact your CSM to create a service request.
