France CTC (FNFE)Warning

Who has to fix it: The sender

This is a property of the file you received, so it cannot be corrected on your side without changing the document — ask the supplier to reissue it.

Check your own invoice

Drop the file that failed. We parse it, run the official rule sets against it and list every finding with a fix — 20 invoices per day, no key, nothing stored.
