THE ESSENTIALS

In practice, for your shop.

Your POS records the sale. iotill then lets you manage business customers and their documents, through to a Factur-X-compatible invoice. For transactions covered by the reform, an approved platform handles regulatory transmission.

You sell
Record a purchase at checkout or an order on a business customer’s account.
You find your documents
Quotations, orders, delivery notes and invoices follow your customer relationship.
You prepare the new exchange
Choose the platform and connection suited to your business with your reseller.

Your customers buy. The document depends on the sale.

An individual pays for a purchase and leaves with a receipt. A business customer places an order and needs an invoice addressed to their company. You can serve both with the same products and POS solution.

The reform adds rules for exchanging invoices and transmitting certain sales data. E-invoicing concerns invoices between French businesses subject to VAT, for transactions within its scope. E-reporting notably concerns data from sales to individuals. Both terms are explained in the guides below.

E-INVOICING

You invoice a business.

For French B2B transactions within scope: a structured invoice exchanged through approved platforms.

Supplier → Platforms → Business customer

E-REPORTING

You transmit sales data.

Including consumer sales within scope: transaction data sent to the authorities.

Shop → Platform → Tax authority

These diagrams summarise the two principles. The applicable workflow depends on your sale and the customer’s situation.

Keep track, from order to invoice.

With iotill and iotill Cloud, quotations, orders, delivery notes and invoices are linked to your business customer’s account. You can find the stages of the sale in the same environment.

Do you deliver to the same customer several times? You can select their delivery notes and combine them into a summary invoice at an agreed interval. For a purchase already paid for, the receipt QR code also lets the customer create an invoice on their smartphone.

Prepare the invoice, then arrange its exchange.

Invoices generated by iotill are compatible with Factur-X: a format combining a readable document with data that software can use.

For invoices covered by the reform, delivery goes through an approved platform. This service handles the regulatory exchange of invoices and data. With your reseller, clarify the chosen platform and how your iotill installation connects to it. A demonstration using one of your sales shows the resulting document and the steps to follow.
