External PA - Global overview

Several key stakeholders are involved:

  • Customer User: An individual representing a company that issues and receives eInvoices, acting as either a buyer or a seller.
  • Cegid Invoicing Solution: A Cegid solution with the functionality to create, to receive or to manage eInvoices.
  • eConnect: The eInvoice concentrator of Cegid
  • PA: A dematerialization platform selected by the customer's to manage eInvoice exchanges with their clients or suppliers, in compliance with the French tax reform.

And two technical components:

  • Cegid Account: The Identities provider of Cegid.
  • Cegid Developers: The API Manager of Cegid.

Main features

The API established between eConnect and the PA addresses two main areas:

  • PA subscription: The process by which the PA is acknowledged by eConnect as the designated eInvoice manager for the customer.
  • eInvoices management: The core use case involving the transmission of eInvoices and updates related to their lifecycle status between the PA and eConnect.
  • eReporting management: The transmission of e-reports (flux 10) to the PA and the reporting of their outcome, reusing the same connection as eInvoices.
