France Factur-X Lifecycle & E-reporting Status
Track every Factur-X invoice from draft to cashed, and follow the French e-reporting obligation with its real, regime-driven legal deadlines — a clean state model for BYOK / PDP platforms.
What this module does
This is a state-tracking model for Factur-X invoices on the French market. It captures the full production and transport lifecycle of a Factur-X (hybrid PDF/A-3 + CII XML) invoice and, in parallel, the status of the French e-reporting obligation that accompanies in-scope operations. It is a reporting and status layer: it generates and reads the structured data, while transmission stays on your own platform credentials (BYOK). It does not impersonate a certified PDP or transmit on its own accreditation.
Factur-X profile detection
Reads the embedded CII XML
(CrossIndustryInvoice) and detects the Factur-X 1.0
profile from its published guideline URN
(GuidelineSpecifiedDocumentContextParameter/ram:ID):
- MINIMUM —
urn:factur-x.eu:1p0:minimum - BASIC WL —
urn:factur-x.eu:1p0:basicwl - BASIC — EN 16931 compliant subset
- EN 16931 (COMFORT) —
urn:cen.eu:en16931:2017 - EXTENDED — EN 16931 conformant superset
Each profile carries its real cumulative rank and a structural consistency check (line presence must match the declared profile).
Document lifecycle state machine
A legal, validated transition table for every document:
- Draft → Profiled → PDF/A-3 Embedded
- → Transmitted (over your BYOK transport)
- → Accepted or Rejected
- → Cashed (paid, terminal)
Illegal jumps are blocked. Every transition is logged as an immutable event with date and source, and the current state, aging and stalled detection are derived automatically.
French e-reporting status with real deadlines
For operations within the French e-reporting scope (B2C, cross-border, services taxed on collection), the module computes the exact transmission period and the legal deadline from the published periodicity of your VAT regime — for both transaction data and payment data:
| VAT regime | Transaction data | Payment data |
|---|---|---|
| Reel normal — monthly | 3×/month by decade (1-10, 11-20, 21-end), due within 10 days | Monthly, due by the 10th of the following month |
| Reel normal — quarterly | Monthly, due by the 10th of the following month | Monthly, due by the 10th of the following month |
| Reel simplifie | Monthly, due by the 30th of the following month | Monthly, due by the 30th of the following month |
| Franchise en base / exempt | Every 2 months, due by the 30th of the following month | Every 2 months, due by the 30th of the following month |
The obligation status moves through Pending → Due → Transmitted → Acknowledged, and is flagged Overdue automatically the day after the legal deadline passes.
CII import wizard
Paste or upload a Factur-X factur-x.xml. The wizard
detects the profile, extracts the invoice header (number, date,
totals, seller, buyer) and routes it to a status record, creating
one on demand.
Invoice integration
A button on customer and vendor invoices creates and opens the Factur-X status record. The current state, profile and e-reporting status are shown on the invoice form and list.
Daily monitoring
A scheduled action scans for stalled documents (unsettled past their SLA) and for e-reporting obligations past their legal deadline, posting a note on each in the chatter.

Scope & boundary
This module is a status and format-reading layer. It reads and models the Factur-X CII and the e-reporting obligation status. Transmission to a PDP or to the DGFiP is performed by your own platform using your own credentials (BYOK). The module does not act as a certified PDP and makes no accreditation claim.
Compatible with Odoo 18 and 19, Community edition. Built on the
standard account and mail modules only.
