The MINIMUM profile does not meet the requirements of the French reform

The MINIMUM profile does not carry enough structured data for French electronic invoicing.

Only the issuer holds this value: Factlint reports it and never fabricates it. Test your invoice to find out whether it is affected.

Test your file with this error in mind

Upload the invoice involved: the report will say whether this code appears, where it appears in the document, and whether Factlint can only report it or also fix it.

To automate this check in an ERP flow, call the validation API and link every returned code to its public page.

Why this error happens

MINIMUM was designed as a transition profile towards dematerialisation, not as a complete exchange format. It does not carry the invoice lines. BASIC WL, which carries no more of them, is only tolerated at the start.

How to fix it

The document must be regenerated on a profile that carries the lines: BASIC, EN 16931 or EXTENDED. Moving up is not a format conversion but an enrichment of data that only the issuer can perform.
