France PA — registration

Register a party in the French Annuaire and on the Peppol network.

Registration is required for any French SIREN that will issue, receive, or report transactions through Invopop as its Plateforme Agréée. Registration is a prerequisite for all flows: invoicing, status, and reporting.

Each party (a SIREN) is registered once. The workflow signs the contract, records the party in the Annuaire, opens a reporting register, and publishes the party on the Peppol network. After it completes, the party can both send and receive invoices and is ready to start recording transactions for reporting.

The Annuaire requires every entry to be receive-capable, so there is no send-only option as in other Peppol countries. Internally, the workflow extends the standard Peppol registration with a French Annuaire step and the reporting register.

How it works

1. Sign Contract

   Kicks off the contract signature flow with the party. The job pauses here until the party returns the signed agreement.

2. Set State → processing

   Moves the silo entry into a visible “in progress” state so operator dashboards reflect that registration is underway.

3. Wait for Approval

   Pauses until Invopop’s KYC review of the signed contract clears.

4. Register in Annuaire

   Submits the party’s SIREN to the French national directory so other PAs can route invoices to it.

5. Register Reporter

   Opens a reporting record keyed by SIREN and stores the cadence chosen during onboarding. See reporting for the cadence options.

6. Register Peppol Party

   Publishes the party in SMP/SML with the france document group, enabling Peppol-level routing for sending and receiving.

7. Set State → registered

   Marks the party as fully onboarded.

Unregistration

Our unregistration workflow will be available soon

When a party stops trading or moves to another platform, run an unregistration workflow. The workflow steps remove the party from the Annuaire, Peppol and close out its reporting register.

1. Unregister in Annuaire

   Removes the inbox from the French directory.

2. Disable Reporter

   Closes the reporting register so no more periodic reports are generated for this SIREN.

3. Unregister in Peppol

   disables the party on Peppol so no further invoices are routed to it.

Unregistering does not delete historical reports already submitted to the PPF.
