Electronic invoicing: a regulatory framework in evolution

Electronic Invoicing: A Regulatory Framework in Evolution

Electronic invoicing is gradually becoming mandatory for all businesses in France. Between 2024 and 2026, obligations will extend to all business-to-business (B2B) transactions, imposing a profound change in administrative processes. For quarries and extraction industries, this transition can be complex, particularly due to the volume of transactions and existing ERP systems.

New Requirements for Electronic Invoicing

The new e-invoicing requirements mandate the use of compliant dematerialization platforms, real-time data transmission to tax authorities, and standardized formats (Factur-X, UBL, CII). For industrial companies managing large volumes of documents and flows, this obligation means a deep revision of accounting and administrative processes.

Challenges for Quarries and the Extraction Industry

• High volume of transactions: Every day, dozens or even hundreds of delivery notes must be converted into compliant invoices.
• System interoperability: Companies must ensure their ERP and management software integrate the new invoicing standards.
• Risk of manual errors: Data entry and transmission must be automated to prevent errors and ensure full financial control.
• Sanctions for non-compliance: Companies failing to meet the new rules face fines and payment blocks, directly impacting their cash flow.
