[svanteschubert]

Background

Invoice payable by a third party known at the time of invoicing

French Use Case n°3: Invoice to be paid by a third party designated at the time of invoicing

The invoice is sent by the supplier to the buyer, who is responsible for forwarding it to the third-party payer once it has been settled or validated.

For all invoices sent by the PPF or a PDP :

• The third-party payer can be identified on the invoice in the "INVOICE PAYER" block (EXT-FR-FE-BG- 02).
• On the PPF, the invoice and its life cycle are not transmitted to the third-party payer; they will be made available to him, if it has an account on Chorus Pro.
• PDPs are responsible for managing access to the third-party payer lifecycle.
• The life cycle can be updated by the third-party payer, via a PDP or directly on the PPF.

Figure 2: Invoice to be paid by a third party designated for invoicing

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

• The life cycle can be updated by the third-party payer directly on the PPF or via one of the PDPs. An account on one of these platforms will be necessary
• Transmission of flow 1 and e-reporting of payment data by supplier

The services offered by PPF are :

• If both the buyer and the third party are connected to the PPF, the latter will be able to view the invoice and its lifecycle.
• If both the supplier and the third party are connected to the PPF, the latter will be able to view the invoice and its life cycle.
• Actors connected to the PPF will be notified by a lifecycle flow in the event of an invoice status change.
