We have a company in France that invoices customer project using AD invoices for pre shipment.
When the goods are shipped, we create a CD invoice and show on the document the related payments for the AD invoices, leaving a remaining total to be paid
For the remaining total we use the instalment function on the CD invoice to create the payment “stages”.
The issue we have in France is, we cannot set an instalment payment date greater than 60 days from the CD invoice date, this is legally not allowed in France.
As a workaround, we cancel the CD invoice and manually create II invoices with future dates.
We are happy using AD and CD invoicing and do not want to move to staged billing.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
I was thinking of trying manual customer invoicing instead of II invoices, would they still be connected with the customer order and project?
We also have the issue of E-invoicing becoming mandatory in France 01.09.26, we are not sure that the CD invoice could be accepted, as it could show the total customer order value, and not show the AD payments as a deduction.
Thanks
