Mandatory electronic invoicing: Adapt to the legal framework with ZEENDOC

The 3 accepted formats

The Direction Générale des Finances Publiques (DGFiP) has defined three authorized electronic invoice formats for sending and receiving:

• CII (Cross Industry Invoice): An open standard developed by the United Nations Center, based on an XML format compliant with EN16931, already used for Factur-X.
• UBL (Universal Business Language): An open XML-based standard for the exchange of electronic data between different business partners and organizations.
• Factur-X: This hybrid format, co-developed by the DGFiP, the Union Interdépartementale pour la Facturation Électronique (UIEE) and industry experts, combines a readable file (PDF) with structured data (XML).

Zeendoc and doxallia, PDP PARTNERS

Zeendoc, the leading electronic document management (EDM) solution for VSEs, SMEs and local authorities, is strengthening its offering with a new strategic partnership with Doxallia, a subsidiary of the Crédit Agricole Group, and newly registered Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire (PDP), pending final registration.

This partnership will enable Zeendoc users to comply with the latest requirements in the context of electronic invoicing reform.

This alliance reflects our ambition:

• Make Zeendoc a key player in document management and a benchmark Dematerialization Operator (DO) in France.
• Combine our expertise with that of Doxallia to offer our customers local service and 100% French digital sovereignty.
