Business Central does not speak to a certified platform on its own. We built the layer that does.
The French reform requires every invoice to pass through a certified platform before it reaches Business Central’s purchase draft. Native Business Central manages the draft. It does not manage the platform connection, the AFNOR status lifecycle, or what happens when a group runs more than one platform. FacturaLink is the layer we built to close that gap.
Talk to usFacturaLink
Business Central’s E-Documents service creates and manages the purchase draft once an invoice arrives — matching, VAT, posting. What it does not do on its own is talk to a certified platform (a Plateforme Agréée), the certified operator the French reform requires between every buyer and seller. That connection — authentication, polling, the AFNOR status lifecycle — has to be built, and it has to be built per platform.
We built FacturaLink because a single certified platform is a bottleneck the moment you have more than one entity — different volumes, different pricing tiers, different fit — and nobody selling a connector has a reason to tell you that.
FacturaLink sits on top of the native E-Documents service. It retrieves incoming e-documents from the connected platform, tracks the four AFNOR statuses a document goes through in Business Central — Déposée (filed with the platform), Rejetée (rejected by the platform), Refusée (rejected by you), Encaissée (paid) — and sends the outgoing status back: Approuvée (approved) when you post the invoice, Refusée (rejected) with the AFNOR reason code when you reject it.
The connector layer is built to an interface, not to a specific platform: SuperPDP and Tréso2 today, more can be added without touching the business logic. A group should be free to change or split platforms per entity without rebuilding the Business Central side.
What it does inside Business Central
- Retrieves new e-documents from the connected certified platform and creates the purchase draft
- Tracks the AFNOR status — Déposée, Rejetée, Refusée, Encaissée (see above) — against each document
- Sends Approuvée on posting, or Refusée with an AFNOR reason code when a document is rejected in the draft
- Receives Encaissée back from the platform once the seller reports payment
Why FacturaLink and not a black box
- It is built on Microsoft’s native E-Documents service, not a workaround bolted beside it — so it upgrades with Business Central instead of breaking against it.
- The certified platform connector is an interface, not a hard dependency on one vendor — a group can run SuperPDP and Tréso2 side by side, or move, without touching the business logic.
- We built it because we run Business Central programmes for multi-entity groups, and a single-platform connector kept being the wall we hit. It is infrastructure we needed, not a product line we started to sell.
- It stays inside the same discipline as the rest of what we build for you: minimal, upgrade-safe code, maintained as part of the programme — not a subscription you manage alone.
