AFNOR Case 1: Multi-Order and Multi-Delivery Invoicing
AFNOR Case 1: Iopole's PA-E and PA-R obligations for a single EN16931 invoice grouping several orders and deliveries.
AFNOR Case 1: Multi-Order and Multi-Delivery Invoicing
This case covers invoices that group several orders and/or several deliveries for the same buyer, while remaining a single invoice compliant with the EN16931 model.
Iopole's PA obligations on emission (PA-E)
On every invoice it emits, Iopole's PA-E runs the technical, application, and functional controls, transmits Flux 1 (the data required for the tax administration) to the PPF's CdD, creates the "Deposited" status once the invoice passes controls, then transmits Flux 2/3 (the complete invoice) to the buyer's PA-R. If the invoice is non-compliant, it creates the "Rejected (emission)" status, under code 213. It also makes every reception and processing status received from the PA-R available to the vendor.
For a multi-order/multi-delivery invoice, the PA-E expects to receive the structured format directly from the Certified Integration (SC), using the extensions provided in the Extended profile:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Order reference at line level (EXT-FR-FE-135) | Identifier of the order related to the invoice line |
| Dispatch advice number at line level (EXT-FR-FE-140) and dispatch advice line (EXT-FR-FE-141) | Links the invoice line to the corresponding dispatch advice |
| Delivery address detail at line level, multi-delivery management (block EXT-FR-FE-BG-10) | For cases with different delivery addresses |
| Global location identifier (EXT-FR-FE-146) and identification scheme (EXT-FR-FE-148) | For example, 0088 for a GLN |
| Location name (EXT-FR-FE-149) | Name of the delivery location |
| Address lines (EXT-FR-FE-150) | Line-level delivery postal address block (3 lines, postal code, city, country subdivision, country code) |
Iopole's PA obligations on reception (PA-R)
On reception, the PA-R runs the regulatory controls (technical, application, and functional), manages the mandatory statuses, transmits every processing status applied by the buyer (rejected, approved, dispute), and relays them to the PA-E.
For a multi-order/multi-delivery invoice, the PA-R must handle making available an invoice containing multiple delivery/order references, without losing that granularity.
