Medius Achieves Certification in French E-Invoicing Revolution
Medius, recognized for excellence in Accounts Payable automation and spend management, has reached a significant milestone by obtaining the prestigious certification as an Approved Platform. This certification is granted by the French General Directorate of Public Finances (DGFiP) and supports France's ongoing electronic invoicing reform. This progressive move reaffirms Medius' commitment to facilitating compliance for mid-sized and large businesses, providing essential services related to invoice issuance, receipt management, electronic reporting, and secure fiscal data transmission.
The recent certification highlights Medius’ capability to assist organizations in fully embracing the changes dictated by the electronic invoicing mandate. This includes not only handling customer and supplier invoices but also managing expense reports, which are treated as official accounting documentation. As experts in automating accounts payable and expense management, Medius ensures the smooth operation of incoming and outgoing invoices while integrating expense report functionalities as per reform stipulations.
Furthermore, Medius is now a certified participant within the innovative decentralized Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC) model, also referred to as the '5-corner' framework. This robust model is designed to improve interoperability, relying on exchanges conducted via Approved Platforms (PA). It facilitates continuous transmission of fiscal data securely to the government via the Public Invoicing Portal (PPF). What distinguishes this model is the clear separation of business flows, such as invoices, payments, and orders, circulating among companies through Approved Platforms, while fiscal flows—comprising VAT data, financial amounts, and relevant dates—are transmitted distinctly to the authorities. This innovative configuration assists governmental bodies in better managing tax compliance while providing businesses with pathways to automate and streamline their financial operations.
The French electronic invoicing model is also poised to align with the anticipated European ViDA regulation, which focuses on VAT within the Digital Age. This alignment will serve as a cornerstone for building a sustainable fiscal ecosystem and sets the stage for broad-scale AI integration within the financial sector.
With its recent certification, Medius solidifies its crucial role in the transformation of electronic invoicing in France, thus offering valuable support to companies navigating the complex waters of digital finance transformation. By merging tax compliance with Procurement-to-Pay processes and leveraging AI technologies, Medius aims to enhance efficiency, transparency, and reliability in financial management systems.
