Background

Invoice already paid by a third party or the buyer known at the time of invoicing

French Use Case n°2: invoice already paid by buyer or third party designated for invoicing at time of invoice issue

For this management case, two sub-cases are to be considered:

The specific features of the data and associated management rules are :

Billing frame "Deposit of a previously paid invoice".
Due date equals payment date
Amount paid (BT-113) equal to total invoice amount
Amount payable (BT-115) equal to 0
In sub-case 2, the third party who has already paid the invoice must be entered in the PAYER (EXT-FR-FE-BG-02). The supplier receives the invoice statuses, so that he can indicate whether the invoice has been collected and update the "collected" status transmitted to the public invoicing portal.

NOTE: The image numbering of the ver2.2 image was here manually fixed according to the one given by ver2.3

The specific features of the life cycle or associated processes are :

Transmission of flow 1 by the supplier
The fact that the invoice has already been paid does not exempt the supplier from transmitting the e-reporting of payment data ("cashed" status) when the transaction falls into the category of services.
The "cashed" status can be sent at the same time as the invoice is issued
