Until now, sending an invoice in PDF format by email was sufficient in most cases. With the electronic invoicing reform in France, this way of working is changing.

From now on, invoices must be issued in structured formats and transmitted through certified platforms called PDPs (Partner Dematerialization Platforms). These platforms will also be responsible for transmitting certain data to the tax authorities.

This change does not only concern the format of invoices. It also involves an evolution of the tools and processes used on a daily basis.

In this new framework, PDPs become a central component. They handle the sending and receiving of electronic invoices while ensuring compliance and the transmission of the required information to the tax authorities.

All companies will need to go through a PDP to remain compliant.

That’s why choosing the right solution becomes strategic. A poor decision can lead to additional complexity in day-to-day management.

Faced with this reform, a first approach is to add an external platform to your existing system. This often involves using multiple tools connected to each other through connectors.

While this solution may meet regulatory requirements, it can quickly become difficult to maintain. Data exchanges multiply, manual operations increase, and so do the risks of errors.

In the long run, this type of setup can significantly burden administrative management.

Another approach is to integrate electronic invoicing directly into your management system. This is the approach offered by Odoo.

With Odoo, invoices are created, sent, and tracked within a single environment. This integration helps avoid process breaks and duplicate data entry.

Data flows seamlessly between invoicing and accounting, simplifying tracking and reducing manual tasks.

Faced with the reform, two approaches clearly stand out. The first relies on adding external solutions, leading to a multiplication of tools and interfaces. The second favors integration within a single system.

It is this second approach that improves clarity and efficiency. By centralizing management, companies reduce manual operations and enhance the reliability of their data.

Waiting until it becomes mandatory can lead to decisions being made in a rush. This limits your options and increases the risk of choosing an unsuitable solution.

On the contrary, anticipating allows you to take the time to structure your organization, choose a consistent tool, and prepare your teams smoothly.

Implementing a solution like Odoo can therefore be done progressively, while already delivering immediate benefits in terms of management.

Electronic invoicing should not be seen merely as a regulatory constraint. It can become a lever to improve your organization.

By centralizing your processes, automating certain tasks, and reducing manual operations, Odoo enables you to turn this requirement into a real opportunity.

Every company has its own specificities, tools, and constraints. It is therefore important to adopt an approach that is tailored to your situation.

We support you with:

• understanding the impact of the electronic invoicing reform
• implementing Odoo in a way that aligns with your business
• helping you become autonomous in using it

The objective is simple: to help you become compliant while simplifying your day-to-day operations.
