As part of the generalization from July 2024 of the electronic invoice in the professional sphere, companies will have the choice between the use of a partner dematerialization platform (PDP) on the one hand, and the public billing portal (PPF) on the other hand. Based on the results of Acxias' latest online survey, most of them have not yet finalized their choice. Two-thirds of respondents indicate that the selection is “in progress” (42%) or “still to be done” (25%). Among the others, half indicate that they will use the PPF, and the other half that they have already chosen a PDP, knowing however that the procedure for registering the partner platforms is not yet complete. Thus, as indicated by the DGFiP in the “Partner” section of the site impots.gouv.fr, “to date, no dematerialization operator benefits from the status of partner dematerialization platform, registered by the tax administration” for three years.

In the context of the generalization of electronic invoicing in the professional sphere from July 2024, companies are faced with a crucial choice. Indeed, they have the option of opting either for a private partner dematerialization platform (PDP) or for the public invoicing portal (PPF). However, according to the results of Acxias' latest online survey, the vast majority of companies have not yet finalized their decision. According to this survey, it appears that two thirds of respondents indicate that the selection is still “in progress” (42%) or “still to be done” (25%). This means that many companies are still in the process of considering and evaluating the various options available to them.
Among the other respondents, half say they will use the public portal, while the other half have already chosen a partner dematerialization platform. However, it is important to note that the registration procedure for partner platforms has not yet been completed. Thus, as indicated by the General Directorate of Public Finances (DGFiP) on the impots.gouv.fr website, “to date, no dematerialization operator benefits from the status of partner dematerialization platform, registered by the tax administration. ”, for a period of three years.
These figures reflect the magnitude of the task facing companies in their transition to electronic invoicing. Despite the looming deadline, many companies are still weighing the pros and cons of different options. The survey results indicate that the selection is still underway for a large majority of them, which demonstrates the complexity of the decision to be made.
It is obvious that this transition to electronic invoicing requires time and effort on the part of companies. The need to choose between a private partner digitization platform or the public billing portal adds another dimension to this process. Businesses should consider various factors such as ease of use, regulatory compliance, and costs associated with each option.
Overall, it is clear that the generalization of electronic invoicing is a major challenge for companies. The survey results show that they are still in the process of selection and evaluation, which reflects the complexity of this transition. There is still time before the full implementation of this measure, and it is essential that companies take the time to choose the solution that best suits their needs and constraints.
