Testing Procedures

What can be tested on the sandbox environment

The following preparation must be done first. Read this carefully and execute all the steps:

Context of the testing:

  • Billit environment : sandbox
  • Sending company : the company you created
  • When launching the sending via Billit
    • Step 1 : Communication with the French Tax Authority :
      • Method : this is be mocked. What does it mean : Billit simulates this communication with the French Authority (Flux 1, Flux 6), allowing you to test in spite of many restrictions.
      • Goal of this operation : You will be able to understand what are the types of messages and status information you can get back
    • Step 2 : send via Open/Peppol : real sending to the restricted number of receivers available on the test network.

Which receivers are available on the test network ?

Constraint : Only a very limited number of receivers are available on the French test network, as the allowed use is very limited.

Below the options:

  • You can upload your customer list in the Billit sandbox and check which customers are on the Peppol network. Ideally, they are also registered with the CTC extension (identifier scheme 0225) and with correct document types.
  • If you have more than 1 French company, you can create the second company, this company will act as a receiver.
  • You can send to a Billit test receiver. Info see below.
