Setup Companies and Integration for France

Step 1 : Company Creation

Create French company in Billit.

Set the country code to France first
Fill in the identifiers: (more info : https://docs.billit.be/docs/identifiers-france-pa)
- Typically this will be 2 identifiers: VAT-number and Siren. Example below.
- Do not fill in CTC : it will be generated by Billit when you create the integration
- If you add Siret, then this will be included in the CTC. Recommended is only to add Siret when you have multiple Siret numbers as invoice to address.
- Below the most typical situation: VAT and Siren:

Fill in other missing data, such as company name, invoice address, bank account, etc.

Overview in My billit :

About colour codes:

blue line : minimum data to start with
green line : extra info, can be added as a second step
blue dotted line : will be added by Billit when the integration is created (see next step)

For use in France the specific integration tile must be set up.

You can search the integration tile :

Language	Title of the integration tile
English	Electronic invoicing in France
French	Facturation électronique en France

How to find:

Fill in the integration:

Field	Info	Mandatory	Method
Start date	If you want to start immediately, select the next day	Yes	User selection
Siren	Automatically filled if present in MyCompany	Yes	Generated by Billit
Siret	Automatically filled if present in MyCompany. We recommend not to fill in Siret in MyCompany if not needed. When you are in the Annuaire with multiple Siret numbers for one Siren, then Siret will be needed.	No	Generated by Billit or user fill in
Adressing suffix	This is optional ifnormation for generating the CTC. This is following guidelines of the French Authority : Siren + Siret + Suffix : If left empty, Billit will generate automatically from Siren. If you add info, this will be added to the CTC. CTC is the primary identifier.	No	User fill in
Adressing Identifier	This is the full CTC compliant with guidelines (Siren + Siret + optional Addressing Suffix)		Generated by Billit

Result after saving (Example) :

Start date:

When you want to start ASAP : set the start date to the next day (not today, not in the past).
When you want to start later : set a later date.

When will the integration we active ?

Below Examples of your CTC:
