Invoice payable to a Third Party - known party managing ordering, etc.

[svanteschubert]

Background

Invoice payable to a Third Party known at the time of invoicing, who also manages ordering / reception, or even invoicing (Distributor / Reseller)

French Use Case n°9:

Invoice to be paid to a third party known at the time of invoicing, who also manages the order/receipt, or even the invoicing (Distributor/Depositary).**

This case is treated in the same way as case 8. The various roles (order, reception, invoicing) can be added to the invoice flow (flow 2) as required. They have no impact on the data to be sent to the authorities (stream 1). It is the responsibility of dematerialization platforms to ensure that the person issuing an invoice on behalf of another company has the necessary billing mandate (no management of authorizations and billing mandates in the directory).

You can refer to the diagram in case no. 8 "Invoice payable to a third party designated at the time of invoicing (factoring, cash pooling)".
