Understand recommendations to test the Avalara integration for France.

France uses the Avalara Clearance process with UBL as the supported outbound format for the current pre-integrated package. The currently identified download types for France are XML, PDF, UBL_XML, UBL_FLOW1_XML, and UBL_FLOW2_XML.

Before testing, confirm the following in Avalara:

• Avalara E-Invoicing and Live Reporting is activated for France.

• The France-specific identifiers required during activation are configured correctly, including SIREN, SIRET-based tax registration, and the Addressing Line Identifier.

• The France mandate and company profile are configured according to your legal entity and rollout timing.

Before testing, confirm the following in Zuora:

• A France business region is configured and linked to the Avalara service provider.

• The e-invoice process is set to Clearance.

• The seller and buyer sections are populated with the France setup values required by the package.

• The billing documents used for testing are posted and ready for e-invoice generation and submission.

When you design France tests, validate the following:

• Zuora generates France billing documents by using the country-specific templates for invoices, credit memos, and debit memos.

• Avalara accepts, validates, and processes the France payload according to the configured France identifiers and mappings.

• Resync E-Invoice Status, Regenerate E-Invoice, and Download E-Invoice work correctly for France-specific test data and configured file formats.

  Note: Draft note: Template development for France is complete from the Zuora side, but final successful document submission and corresponding end-to-end validation are still pending Avalara fixes to business identifiers. Keep this limitation visible until the Avalara dependency is resolved.
