STATUTS-CYCLE-VIE
Standardized invoice-state tracking in the France 2026 reform.
Definition
The lifecycle standardizes invoice tracking across platforms. Four statuses are mandatory: Submitted (Déposée), Rejected (Rejetée — technical rejection by the platform), Refused (Refusée — commercial refusal by the buyer) and Paid (Encaissée). Other statuses (made available, taken in charge, approved, in dispute) are recommended but optional. The mandatory statuses are reported to the PPF e-reporting concentrator.
Origin
Described in the DGFiP/AIFE external specifications and aligned with the experimental AFNOR standard XP Z12-012 (lifecycle: statuses, transitions and actor responsibilities).
Example in context
An issued invoice moves to Submitted; the buyer then rejects it for a pricing error: Refused; after correction and payment: Paid.
