Transaction Response for France E-documents

France Transaction Response supports the creation and transmission of inbound and outbound transaction responses for France E-Documents. It enables users to send and receive status information for invoices, credit memos, and bills shared electronically. When a customer creates a payment for an invoice, credit memo, or bill, the payment details are added to the Transaction Response, which is automatically sent to Avalara.

Feature Overview

The transaction response is a business-level response that communicates the status of an electronic invoice, credit memo, or bill. Responses are associated with the relevant E-Document so that users can follow the status of electronically shared transactions.

Outbound transaction responses let users send a status for an inbound electronic invoice, credit memo, or bill. Inbound transaction responses let users receive a status for an electronically shared invoice, credit memo, or bill.

Responses help users track the processing status of electronic transactions in the France E-Invoicing Document Life Cycle.

Important:

Transaction Response for France E-Documents works only with E-Documents shared electronically through EUEI features.

Enabling Transaction Response feature

Before sending transaction responses, you must enable Transaction Response feature for the relevant France subsidiary.

To enable Transaction Response feature:

  1. Go to Setup > E-Documents > Electronic Invoicing Preferences.

  2. Select the France subsidiary you want to update.

  3. Click Edit.

  4. Check the Transaction Response Support box.

  5. Click Save.

Generating the transaction response

You can generate the transaction response with relevant information, for example price, taxes or status clarification.

To generate the transaction response:

  1. Go to the required invoice, credit memo, vendor bill, or bill credit.

  2. Click View next to the required transaction.

  3. Click the Create Transaction Response button.

    Note:

    The Create Transaction Response button is available when all of the following conditions are met:

    • the transaction is associated with a France subsidiary

    • the E-Document status is Sent

    • the transaction's subsidiary has Transaction Response Support enabled

  4. On the E-Document Transaction Response page, select the response type.

  5. On the Additional Details subtab, enter supplementary transaction information and click Add.

  6. On the Status Clarification subtab, select the Status Action Code and in the Status Action provide context for the transaction status. Then click Add.

Important:

If an invoice is generated and a user creates a payment before the E-Document is generated, a Transaction Response record is not created and no Transaction Response is sent to Avalara. The payment itself is still processed and the funds are sent.
