E-invoicing: inbound-reception obligation in France from September 1, 2026 Your Backlane invoices are already compliant →
The agents · Billing

Thousands of invoices go out on their own. You touch none of them.

The Billing agent issues rents on the right schedule (weekly or monthly), invoices kilometres beyond the cap at the contract rate, and flags whatever could not go out. Factur-X compliant, ready for September 2026.

A typical morning
The 1st of the month, 4:30 am.
The month's rents go out: active contracts, prorata, last month's cap overruns added line by line. At 8 am your queue shows two cards: two plans without a debit mandate. The rest is already in your customers' inboxes.

The 07:30 run

What it computes, in this order, before you arrive.

Recurring billing is not a button: it is a chain of computations, each of which can fail cleanly. Here is the order, and the two things it refuses to do.

1

It picks up the contracts that are due

Each contract carries its own cycle, weekly or monthly, and its own anniversary date. Nothing is forced onto the first of the month.

2

It computes what is owed

The rent, plus kilometres above the allowance at the contract rate, plus the rebillable costs of the month: fines, damage found, deductible.

3

It issues in the legal format

A readable PDF and structured XML in a single file, a number in your own series, filed on the dematerialisation platform. Nothing to do on your side to be compliant in 2026.

4

It collects

A direct debit where a mandate exists, otherwise a payment link inside the message. The payment settles its invoice on its own, with no reconciling.

5

It writes on your side

The invoice, the credit note and the payment go into your accounting as they happen. Your accountant changes nothing.

never

Two refusals

It does not invent a missing rent: an incomplete contract comes back as a decision, it is not billed at random. And it never sends from an unverified domain, even if that delays a send.

The agent announces the evening before what the run will do: how many invoices, for how much, and which cases are waiting on a decision. You are never surprised by what your name sent.

Frequently asked questions

Will you be ready for e-invoicing in September 2026?

Yes, by construction: every Backlane invoice is generated as Factur-X (the PDF plus structured data) and transmitted through an accredited platform. Nothing to activate, nothing extra to buy.

Do I keep my invoice numbers?

Yes. Your historical invoices are imported with their original numbers, and numbering continues under your rules. Aging and collections restart with the right history.

What if an invoice is wrong?

A credit note is generated from the invoice file, tied to the original. Nothing is erased, everything is corrected: the ledger stays consistent.
