BR-FR-CO-07
This is a French BR-FR rule from the AFNOR XP Z12-012 standard - a national requirement for invoices exchanged through France's e-invoicing network (PDP platforms) under the September 2026 mandate. Typical French specifics: the seller's SIREN (scheme 0002), mandatory payment mentions (late penalties, recovery costs, discount terms), and the invoicing framework code. The official rule text below is in French - the referenced BT fields identify what to add or fix.
- Read the official text - each sub-rule names the exact business term (BT) involved.
- Check the seller identifiers: SIREN in
CompanyIDwithschemeID="0002". - Check the mandatory French invoice notes (BT-22 with PMT/PMD/AAB prefixes).
- Validate against the

[BR-FR-CO-07/BT-9] : La date d’échéance (BT-9), si présente, doit être postérieure ou égale à la date de facture (BT-2), sauf si la facture est de type acompte (386, 500, 503) ou si le cadre de facturation (BT-23) est B2, S2 ou M2. Valeurs actuelles : Date facture = "", Date échéance = "", Type = "", Cadre = "".
Developers also reach this page searching for a “French e-invoice validation error”, a “Factur-X bill rejected” message, or how to fix a failed PDP compliance check — it's the same issue, explained above.
In short, in English: The payment due date (BT-9), if present, must be on or after the invoice issue date (BT-2), unless the invoice is a prepayment type (386, 500, 503) or the invoicing framework (BT-23) is B2, S2 or M2.
