Use case 01: Multi-order and multi-delivery

Use case 01 covers invoices that reference multiple purchase orders or multiple delivery locations at the invoice line level.

Description

EN16931 does not natively support multi-order or multi-delivery invoices. French e-invoicing extensions let you reference multiple purchase orders and delivery locations at invoice line level (BG-25):

  • Multi-order: Different purchase order numbers per invoice line (EXT-FR-FE-135)

  • Multi-delivery: Different delivery locations per invoice line (EXT-FR-FE-BG-10)

  • Combined: Both multiple orders and multiple deliveries on the same invoice

Business and tax context

  • The supplier consolidates multiple purchase orders into a single invoice.

  • Goods ship to multiple warehouse locations but are invoiced together.

  • Periodic invoices cover deliveries to various sites under a framework agreement.

Note:

Profile EXTENDED-CTC-FR is required. Standard EN16931 profiles do not support line-level extensions.

Implementation considerations

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

Seller considerations
  • The ERP must support consolidation of multiple orders into a single invoice.

  • You must maintain traceability between invoice lines and source orders or deliveries.

  • You must use the EXTENDED-CTC-FR profile.

Buyer considerations
  • Set up three-way matching to handle line-level order references.

  • Support receiving invoices with multiple delivery locations.

Configuration
  • PA-E and PA-R must support EXTENDED-CTC-FR profile validation.

  • PA-E and PA-R must preserve line-level extension fields during transformation.
