France CTC (FNFE)Warning

French commercial law requires three mentions on a B2B invoice, carried as notes (BT-22) under their subject codes: PMT the fixed €40 recovery indemnity, PMD the late-payment penalty rate, and AAB the early-payment discount or the statement that none is offered. They are legal wording, not formatting — an invoice without them is incomplete under the Code de commerce, whatever EN 16931 says.
