E-invoicing module
E-invoicing ERP: receive, issue and track your invoices via the Docoon Approved Platform
Synoptic ERP natively integrates Docoon, an Approved Platform accredited by the French tax authority (DGFiP): your supplier and customer invoices, e-reporting and status tracking are managed from your ERP, with no re-keying.
A legal obligation, managed from your ERP
Synoptic ERP natively integrates Docoon, an Approved Platform (PA) accredited by the French tax authority (DGFiP) (list in French), to manage all your e-invoicing flows. The French e-invoicing reform (RFE) is not optional: it is a legal obligation.
Since September 1, 2026, all companies subject to VAT and established in France must be able to receive electronic invoices; large companies and mid-caps must also issue them. The obligation to issue extends to SMEs and micro-businesses on September 1, 2027.
The e-invoicing module, available as an option, brings you into compliance with the reform on both the purchasing and the sales side.
- Receiving supplier invoices
- Issuing customer invoices
- Automatic e-reporting
- Invoices to the public sector
Purchasing side: receiving supplier invoices
- The supplier invoice is received in electronic format via the Docoon Approved Platform
- It is created automatically in Synoptic ERP and matched to the related supplier orders and goods receipts
- It is posted to accounting; a payment approval status secures the approval workflow before payment
- Lifecycle statuses are sent automatically to Docoon, in line with the requirements of the reform
Sales side: issuing customer invoices
- The customer invoice is created in Synoptic ERP using your usual process
- It is automatically converted to the core regulatory format (e-invoicing) and/or e-reporting is generated
- The invoice and/or the e-reporting are sent via Docoon depending on the use case

Manage all your e-invoicing flows from Synoptic ERP
Receiving supplier invoices, issuing customer invoices, e-reporting, managing related entities and invoicing the public sector: the module covers every flow of the reform, with no manual re-keying.
Receive and process your suppliers’ electronic invoices
Your suppliers send you their invoices in electronic format via the Docoon Approved Platform. The invoice is received, then created automatically in Synoptic ERP and matched to the related orders and goods receipts.
A payment approval status secures the approval workflow before any payment. Lifecycle statuses are sent automatically to Docoon, in line with the requirements of the reform.
Issue your customer invoices in the regulatory format
The customer invoice is created in Synoptic ERP using your usual process. It is then automatically converted to the core regulatory format and sent via Docoon or directly to the recipient, depending on the use case.
Processing statuses are received and managed in connection with your accounting, for full traceability of every invoice issued.
Handle e-reporting with no re-keying
For transactions not subject to e-invoicing (B2C sales, transactions with foreign companies), e-reporting is generated automatically by Synoptic ERP and sent to the tax authority via Docoon.
You meet your reporting obligations with no additional manual processing.
Manage all your entities from the Docoon portal
The Docoon portal lets you manage the lifecycle of your invoices, track their statuses and process your flows independently of Synoptic ERP: an essential feature for related companies (property companies, holding companies…) whose flows do not go through the ERP.
As soon as you are registered in the directory, you are able to receive electronic invoices.
Manage your invoices to public entities
Synoptic ERP natively manages the link between Docoon and Chorus Pro for your B2G (Business to Government) flows.
If your business includes public contracts, your invoices to public entities are processed in the same flow, with no additional tool.
What the e-invoicing module changes for your teams
- Chief financial officer: steers compliance with the reform end to end, tracks the status of every invoice and secures supplier payments through the payment approval workflow
- Accountant or head of accounting: receives supplier invoices already created and matched in Synoptic ERP, with no re-keying and direct posting
- Purchasing manager: sees the processing status of every supplier invoice and handles the use cases specific to their flows
- Management: ensures the company’s legal compliance, without mobilizing additional resources

Frequently asked questions about e-invoicing
What is the French e-invoicing reform (RFE)?
It is the obligation for companies subject to VAT and established in France to exchange their invoices in electronic format. Beyond the format, it means adapting your internal processes: mapping your flows, handling the use cases defined by the legislator, integrating any related companies and training your teams.
What are the deadlines of the reform?
Since September 1, 2026, all companies, whatever their size, must be able to receive electronic invoices; large companies and mid-caps must also issue them. Small and micro-businesses will have to be able to issue them from September 1, 2027 (source: economie.gouv.fr, in French).
What is an Approved Platform (PA)?
It is a platform accredited by the French tax authority (DGFiP) to carry electronic invoices under the reform; the term replaces PDP (Partner Dematerialization Platform). To connect Synoptic ERP to the national e-invoicing network, Proges Plus selected Docoon, a platform fully driven by API.
What is e-reporting?
E-reporting covers transactions not subject to e-invoicing, such as B2C sales or transactions with foreign companies. Synoptic ERP generates it automatically and sends it to the tax authority via Docoon, with no additional manual processing.
Is the e-invoicing module included in Synoptic ERP?
The e-invoicing module is available as an option. It natively integrates Docoon and comes with a dedicated project manager, from the analysis of your flows to go-live. Contact us to find out more.
How are invoices to the public sector handled?
Synoptic ERP natively manages the link between Docoon and Chorus Pro for your B2G flows. Your invoices to public entities are processed in the same flow, with no additional tool.
How do I manage the flows of my related companies (property companies, holding companies)?
The Docoon portal lets you manage the lifecycle of invoices, track their statuses and process flows independently of Synoptic ERP: related companies whose flows do not go through the ERP are managed from this portal.
I already use the digitization module: what do I need to do?
The processes and automations are already in place: receiving, reading and archiving invoices, matching with goods receipts, payment approval workflow. They now need to be connected to the e-invoicing network via Docoon. Discover the supplier invoice digitization module.
