Use case 02: Already paid invoice

Use case 02 applies when an invoice is already paid at the time of issuance, such as prepaid e-commerce orders or invoices issued shortly after payment.

Description

Apply this use case to invoices that are already paid at issuance. Common scenarios include prepaid e-commerce orders or invoices issued shortly after payment.

Note:

This use case differs from deposit invoices (use case 20 and use case 21). Apply use case 02 when payment is close to delivery. Use the deposit flow when payment is significantly before delivery.

Business and tax context

  • The invoice is issued after payment is received.

  • BT-113 (Prepaid Amount) equals BT-112 (Total TTC).

  • BT-115 (Amount Due) equals zero.

  • For services with VAT due on receipt (S1 or S2), send the Encaissee status immediately.

Important:

For services with VAT on receipt, send the Encaissee (212) status to the PPF immediately after invoice submission.

Implementation considerations

The following sections describe considerations for the seller, the buyer, and platform configuration.

Seller considerations
  • Determine if the Encaissee status is required based on the VAT regime.

  • For the S1 or S2 billing framework, the Encaissee status is mandatory.

  • Send the Encaissee status immediately after the Deposee status.

Buyer considerations
  • No payment action is required because the amount due is zero.

  • Focus on goods or services receipt validation.

Configuration
  • PA-E must support immediate Encaissee status after Deposee.

  • Validate that BT-113 equals BT-112 for prepaid invoices.
