4.2.3.36. Plateforme Agréée Gateway Out

Note that this gateway is only available to users who have requested the activation of the French PA module

This gateway allows you to send eInvoicing and eReporting files to other certified platforms and the French government.

This gateway uses the Tradeshift Babelway plateforme agréée to send documents to the French government (PPF) and to other certified platforms (plateforme agréées) when applicable.

You can send three types of files into this gateway:

  • E-Reporting XML files
  • Invoices and credit notes in the UBL EN16931 France EXTENDED-CTC-FR format.
  • Cross domain acknowledgement and response (CDAR) files.

The gateway will then process them as follows:

  • In the eInvoicing flow, this means the file is checked for syntax and content validity, and then sent to your partner's PA (determined based on the content of the invoice/CDAR). An adapted copy is sent to the PPF as well as the DEPOSEE status in the case of an invoice or mandatory status for CDARs. If any of those steps fail, your message will be set in error.
  • In the eReporting flow, this means the file is checked for syntax validity and then sent to the PPF. The PPF's response (valid or invalid) determines if the message is in success or error and the PPF's response can be found in the message details.

You will find your eReporting and eInvoicing traffic in their matching tabs in the PA module's monitoring section as you send out documents.

Test mode 

In test mode, the PPF is not included in the exchange. In all instances, the following checks are run

  • syntax and content validity (including on the generated PPF version when applicable)
  • that the receiver is active in the annuaire
  • that the sender is one of the allowed senders as configured in your PA environment settings

In the case of the eInvoicing flow, it is sent over Peppol's production network to your partner's plateforme agréée.
Peppol Environment Only taken into account when Test Mode is selected. Can be Production or Test environment. If Test Mode is not selected it is always Production.
