About this guide
This document provides configuration guidelines. For detailed information, see user guides and net-change reports for the corresponding functionality.
The purpose of this document is to guide a customer in implementing a country version. A country version consists of several parts:
Translations Translations are divided in three areas:
• Screen related items and reports
• On-line help-texts
• User guides.
There are no configuration options for
translations.
Unique functions for a country Requirements from a country are sometimes unique for that country. The deployment of these requirements is done in a separate library.
The solution can be either Business Engine
Functions, Global Electronic Message
Services (GEMS) or Financial Business
Messages (FBM’s)
Configurations of other M3 modules Several requirements are almost the same in different countries, there are only minor variances in the process. The ambition is to deploy these functions in ordinary M3 modules that can be configured.
In other cases, the user can solve the
requirements by adding content in various
functions in M3 modules
Intended audience The target audiences for this document are experienced M3 users and consultants.

Tax Registration Number
Requirement
All countries that have VAT as tax method require a VAT registration number. It’s very often the
organization number with an addition of the country code.
In France the VAT or Taxe sur la Valeur Ajoutée (TVA) standard rate is 20%, with reduced rates of
10%, 5.5% and 2.1% for specific goods and services (as at the time of writing).
The VAT/TVA number is a unique number that adheres to the standard EU VAT format. This
includes the country code and 11 digits, for example FR12345678910.
General Configuration
| 13
French businesses are issued with a unique, 9-digit identification SIREN number; a 14-digit SIRET
number which consists of the SIREN number plus a 5-digit establishment ID number; and an APE
(Activite Principale de l'Entreprise) or NAF code identifying the main activity of the business and
consisting of 4 digits and a letter.
M3 Solution
The company’s VAT/TVA, SIREN and SIRET numbers are stored on the division and the activity,
TVA and business identification numbers stored for the company’s customers and suppliers. M3
provides a validity check on these numbers.

General Configuration

Book of accounts and voucher numbers
Requirement
Each document that is entered in the general ledger must have a chronological number – a voucher
number.
These number series are normally separated in subseries and that can be done in two ways – with
book of accounts or in separate number sequences.
With Book of accounts each number series starts from 1 every year.
With separate number sequences the series can be anything, but they cannot overlap each other.
M3 solution
M3 supports both alternatives. In France, the most common alternative is to use book of accounts.

Principle of “Storno” – a debit/credit code
Requirement
The most common way to represent debit and credit accounting entries is to use positive (+) or
negative (–) in the various amount fields. However, in countries following Storno rules, a one
character code is used alongside the normal amount fields because negative debits and positive
credits are allowed and are used to reflect correcting accounting entries
M3 Solution
In France it’s common to use D (débit) and C (crédit) to represent the debit and credit sign and so
the field Debit/Credit cd on CRS750/E would be left unchecked.
Configuration guidelines
Program ID Program name Description or Comment
CRS750/E Settings – General Ledger Debit/Credit code checked for FR.

Periodic or Perpetual Accounting Method
Requirement
The accounting for purchases of inventory can follow the perpetual method or the periodic
method:
• Perpetual accounting where purchases directly update the Balance Sheet
• Periodic accounting where purchases in a period first update the Profit and Loss
General Configuration
| 17
M3 Solution
To meet the preferred accounting preference of Customers this internal accounting rule can be set at
the entity or division level.
In France it is common to use periodic accounting, posting the purchased cost directly to an external
cost or inventory account (PP20 952) and adjusting the usage of raw material by the inventory
evaluation result.
Configuration guidelines

The Chart of Accounts (COA)
Requirement
Financial Reporting and Accounting for any business is dependent on a well-structured “Chart of
Accounts” so that the collection large volumes of accounting data can efficiently reflect the
performance and position of a specific business.
M3 solution
The M3 General Ledger supports a seven Dimension Accounting String. The first Dimension is
defined as the Chart of Accounts. The remaining six dimensions or identities stored from the entered
coding string can be used to further analyze the dimension one account.
The French generally accepted accounting principles, includes a standardized chart of accounts,
called Plan Comptable Général (PCG). For more information, go to www.plancomptable.com

The Profit and Loss Report
Requirement
Larger French companies are required to prepare and lodge financial statements, known collectively
as ‘le bilan’, with the CCI (Chambres de commerce et d'industri). These consist of a balance sheet
(bilan), income statement (comptes de résultat) and accompanying notes (annexe).
Micro-enterprises in France need only summarize their revenues and provide a listing of their fixed
assets and depreciation for the year, at the year end. Those businesses with more than €18,294 (at
the time of writing) in revenue must summarize their revenues, expenditures, debts, property and
stocks (inventory) at the year end, but don’t need to prepare formal financial statements
Accounting requirements and the scope of disclosure are contained in the Code de Commerce and
the Plan Comptable Général, which are amended and updated periodically by the Conseil National
de la Comptabilité, as well as from the Code Général des Impôts. These incorporate International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), under the provisions of the EU International Accounting
Standards Regulation (IAS), as well as French Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
M3 Solution
With the M3 Financial Report Generator Module (RGR) it is possible to format and produce any type
of official report from the M3 General Ledger to meet the business needs and for regulatory and
statutory requirements. These reports can be saved and the same information provided as an M3
On-Line Enquiry.
The balance file keys are used to store the aggregate of transactional data to make it more efficient
to display and report on this information. There are various M3 programs to within the general
ledger function which display, control and maintain the balance keys.

Customer Draft Payments
Requirement
A draft is a payment document indicating that the customer will pay a certain amount at a certain
date (the due date) and from a certain bank. Accepted drafts have the same legal value as checks
and are also, in several ways, managed like checks.
Drafts are currently a common payment method in France and permit payment to be delayed from
30 to 120 days.
As France is a member of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) an agreement/acceptance is
needed to collect the payment. The accepted draft may be sent from the customer to the company
or may be created by the company and sent to the customer, who then accepts and returns it.
M3 Solution
The customer invoices, to be paid by draft, are grouped in Customer Invoice. Group – ARS190 by
payment method and due date and the group invoice, and draft if applicable, are sent to the
customer, as a request for payment.
Accounts receivable
30 | FR
Once the customer returns the accepted draft, this is processed in Payment Received. Record –
ARS110 and allocated to the invoices being paid by draft.
The draft is then remitted to the bank either before the due date, and therefore at a discount, or on
the due date, using Bank Remittance. Open - ARS300. When confirmation of collection is received
from the bank all collected drafts are processed in Bank Remittance. Reconcile Payment - ARS350.
The customer risk associated with drafts is updated using Customer Risk Cancellation. Create –
ARS330. Any rejected drafts are processed using Draft/Check. Open Unpaid or Rejected – ARS340
and the invoices are re-opened to allow a new payment to be requested from the customer.

Customer Direct Debiting
Requirement
Direct debiting is a reversed customer payment process, where the supplier is given the authority from the customer to withdraw the relevant amount from the customer’s bank account at the due date.
France is a member of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA). SEPA stipulate that valid direct debit agreements exists before payments may be recovered via the SEPA direct debiting method.
M3 Solution
When customer orders are processed for customers with a SEPA direct debiting (DD) payment
method, then a check is made to see if a valid DD mandate exists within Direct Debiting Agreement.
Open – ARS450.
When invoices become due for payment that are to be paid for via direct debit, then a direct debit
collection is created which, when confirmed creates an electronic output file to be sent to the bank
and remittance documents.
Confirmation is received from the bank and any failed collections can be deleted and communicated,
via a standard letter, to the customer. Confirmed payments are reconciled.

Electronic invoicing
Requirement
Invoicing is probably the function in M3 that is most affected by localization rules.
In some countries, all invoices must be sent to the government or companies that are owned by the
government and produced in a specific format. This requirement has become increasingly common.
For France, this is used for B2G and B2B to transmit electronic invoices directly to the customer.
An electronic invoice must have the same information as a paper-based invoice.
M3 solution
Electronic invoices are handled using Infor Localization Services Platform (LSP) and can be delivered using
these multi-country formats:
• XC - Public procurement eInvoicing (format Peppol)
• XC - Public procurement eInvoicing (format CII)

Requirement
In France, according to articles 250 and 241 of the Code de général des impôts (CGI), an annual
declaration must be reported for service invoices paid with a value over 600 Euros. Electronic filing
is now mandatory and is sent using the TELE-TD network to the Direction générale des Finances
publiq (DGFiP). The last date for reporting is 90 days after the fiscal year end.
As there is no retention there is no specific accounting transaction requirement.
M3 Solution
There are four possible methods for processing and controlling Supplier Tax deductions, accounting
and reporting. The selected method will be determined by Country Specific Rules
• Alt1, where supplier payments are reported for Tax purposes but no tax deduction is made
• Alt2, where tax deductions are made on supplier payment and then reported to Tax Authorities
• Alt3, where a supplier tax deduction record is made on invoice entry, but the tax deduction is
NOT accounted for until the supplier payment is recorded
• Alt4, where the tax deduction is accounted for at the entry of the supplier invoice
Any tax exemption letters received from suppliers can be recorded on the Supplier Master file.

Overhead Commitment
Requirement
Businesses may control the purchasing of non-stock items by setting and managing overhead
budgets. An additional budget may be used, if an additional spend is approved.
M3 Solution
The M3 solution is through overhead commitment. Commitment is monitored from the point a
department enters a purchase requisition for a non-inventory item. If the accounting string used is
included in the control budget, the following calculation is done automatically:
• (Budgeted value) plus (Manually entered overspend) minus (Actual year-to-date value for the
accounting string) minus (Committed value).
If the result is an amount greater than the PO line amount, it is added to the general ledger balance
file for the budget reserved for committed values. (If the purchase order line is to be deleted
afterwards or the status changed from definitive to preliminary, the procedure is reversed.) When the
goods are received or the invoice is recorded, the committed amount is deducted automatically.
However, if the calculated amount is lower than the PO line amount, then the purchase order is
either blocked and receives status 14 or a warning is issued, depending on the selection in
CRS750/G (see Configuration guidelines below).

Chapter 5 Fixed assets 5
• Depreciations
• Fixed Asset Reporting
• Impairment – IAS 36
• Revaluation of Fixed Assets – IAS 16
Depreciations
Requirement
It’s a common requirement that Fixed Assets are reduced in value over time to reflect the fact that
the business is consuming their economic value. Depreciation is the accounting method used to
reflect this reduction in value. Different business in different countries can use different depreciation
methods and rules to calculate a periodic depreciation charge. A Fixed Asset can have an economic
life between one and fifty years
Amortissement dérogatoire/derogatory depreciation is an additional depreciation amount allowed by
the French tax authorities. The extra depreciation is the difference between two different
depreciation types applied to the same asset; fiscal depreciation, which is normally linear and
economic depreciation, which is normally declining.
The depreciation amount at the end of each year is equal to the fiscal depreciation plus the
amortissement dérogatoire/derogatory depreciation, thus encouraging companies to invest in new
equipment because of tax advantages.
M3 Solution
The M3 Fixed Asset Module supports different depreciation methods and bases. These rules are
then used to create asset specific depreciation plans over the asset lifetime. Each fixed asset can be
depreciated by different rules, for example fiscal/linear and economic/declining. Furthermore, the
economic depreciation can be set to auto-change to the linear depreciation so that the residual value
of the asset is zero.

Fixed Asset Impairments – IAS36
Requirement
Where the current market value of a fixed asset is lower than its net book value the company must
adjust the carrying value of the asset to reflect the lower market value. To identify the possibility of
such book adjustments the company must create an impairment test for all relevant assets
M3 Solution

Annual Run. Perform - FAS190 is used to help determine which assets need to be impaired by
calculating a re-acquisition value using price index tables. This indexed value is then compared
against the current net book value and if the re-acquisition value is lower an additional depreciation
adjustment must be booked to reflect the impairment write-down.
Once the need for impairment is apparent then FA Depreciation. Create Extraordinary - FAS140 is
used to create extraordinary depreciation for each fixed asset affected.

• EU Trade Statistics/Déclaration d’Echange de Biens (DEB)
• EU Declaration of Services (DES)
Value Added Tax – VAT/Taxe sur la Valeur Ajoutée - TVA
Requirement(s)
French VAT or Taxe sur la Valeur Ajoutée (TVA) is at the standard rate of 20%, with reduced rates
of 10%, 5.5% and 2.1% for specific goods and services (as at the time of writing).
French TVA returns have to be filed monthly, unless the yearly amount of TVA due is less than EUR
4,000, in which case returns have to be filed quarterly.
Provided certain conditions are met small undertakings may be taxed, under a simplified
arrangement, when their yearly turnover is lower than EUR 763,000 for supplies of goods and EUR
230,000 for supplies of services (as at the time of writing). TVA is then paid on account on a
quarterly basis and accounted for in final in a yearly TVA return.
The deadline for submission is set between the 15th and 24th of the month following the reporting
period. The exact filing date is legally determined on the basis of the TVA registration number of the
business.

EU Trade Statistics/Déclaration d’Echange de Biens (DEB)
Requirement(s)
Companies trading within the EU are required to keep EU Trade Statistic or Intrastat records and report these on a regular basis.
The EC Sales List and Intrastat returns are combined in France and must be reported monthly.
The following information is required for French DEB reporting:
Trade classification, value, quantity, weight, commodity code and country of arrival or dispatch.
The DEB (Intrastat) report should be filed by the 10th working day following the month during which the VAT became chargeable (for intra-Community supplies and acquisitions) or the month during which the transfer of goods occurred (in other circumstances, e.g. contract work, repairs). The report can be submitted in paper format or electronically.
M3 Solution
If the M3 basic data is correctly configured for Intrastat then when the records are created, they can be quickly checked and then reported electronically or in paper format to the local French authorities.
When the Intrastat data is checked, if there are any manual amendments required then, unless they are one-off changes, the changes should be reflected within the basic data to avoid requiring the same amendment the next time the Intrastat records are created.
Configuration guidelines
Please note that not all basic data settings are specified here and VAT/TVA settings should also be
considered for the EC Sales List information. For further details, refer to the M3 Financial
Accounting User Guide, available within Infor Xtreme documentation base.

electronic formats. The global standard was originally set by the OECD with their SAF-T format. This
original standard has been adopted and is being adjusted by Tax Authorities in many Countries
around the world.
In France according to the Livre de Procédures Fiscales (LPF) or Tax Procedures Code, accounting
documents can be submitted in electronic format for auditing.

Eco-Contribution
Requirement(s)
Audit a
66 | FR
France has introduced rules regarding the collection and recycling of electrical equipment and waste
furniture and as a result eco-organizations have been created to manage the recycling and comply
with the requirements.
To finance this an additional ‘eco-contribution’ is charged to customers of electrical, electronic
equipment and/or furniture. This is then declared by the company selling these goods and paid to
the eco-organizations who undertake the waste and recycling of these goods.
The declaration is normally sent to the eco-organization on a quarterly basis. However, if turnover for
the previous year is less than EUR 300,000 (at the time of writing) excluding taxes, the declaration
can be submitted annually.
Eco-contributions included on supplier invoices are not included within the declaration.

offering the flexibility necessary for managing eco-contribution practices in the international
marketplace.
