.. _localizations/france/fec:
FEC - Fichier des Écritures Comptables
--------------------------------------
An FEC :dfn:`Fichier des Écritures Comptables` audit file contains all the accounting data and
entries recorded in all the accounting journals for a financial year. The entries in the file must
be arranged in chronological order. Since January 2014, every French company is required to produce
and transmit this file upon request by the tax authorities for audit purposes.
.. _localizations/france/fec-import:
FEC Import
~~~~~~~~~~
:doc:`Install </applications/general/apps_modules>` the :guilabel:`France - FEC Import`
(`l10n_fr_fec_import`) module to import FEC files from other software.
To enable this feature, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings`. In the
:guilabel:`Accounting Import` section, click :icon:`oi-arrow-right` :guilabel:`Import` and
:guilabel:`Import FEC`. Then, in the :guilabel:`FEC Import` window, upload the FEC file and click
:guilabel:`Import`.
.. note::
Importing FEC files from different years requires no particular actions or computations. However,
if multiple files contain RAN :dfn:`Reports à Nouveaux` with the starting balance for the year,
these entries are automatically marked as unnecessary in Odoo and may need to be deleted.
.. _localizations/france/fec-file-formats:
File formats
************
.. note::
- FEC files must be in CSV format, as XML format is not supported.
- The FEC CSV file is a plain text file structured as a data table. The first line serves as the
header, defining the list of fields for each entry, and each following line represents a single
accounting entry without any specific order.
FEC files must comply with the following technical specifications:
- **Encoding**: UTF-8, UTF-8-SIG and iso8859_15.
- **Separator**: any of these: `;` or `|` or `,` or `TAB`.
- **Line terminators**: both CR+LF (`\\r\\n`) and LF (`\\n`) character groups are supported.
- **Date format**: `%Y%m%d`

.. _localizations/france/fec-implementation:
Implementation details
**********************
The following accounting entities are imported from the FEC files: **Accounts, Journals, Partners**,
and **Moves**. The module automatically determines the encoding, line terminator, and separator used
in the file. Next, a check is performed to ensure that each line has the correct number of fields
matching the header. If the check is successful, the entire file is read, stored in memory, and
scanned. Accounting entities are then imported one type at a time in the following order.
.. _localizations/france/fec-accounts:
Accounts
^^^^^^^^
Each accounting entry is associated with an account identified by the :guilabel:`CompteNum` field.
.. _localizations/france/fec-code-matching:
Code matching
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If an account with the same code already exists, the existing one is used rather than creating a new
one. In Odoo, account numbers follow the default digit length of the fiscal localization. Since the
FEC module is tied to the French localization, the default account length is 6 digits.
This means that trailing zeros in account codes are removed, and the comparison between the account
codes in the FEC file and those already in Odoo is made based only on the first six digits of the
codes.
.. example::
The account code `65800000` in the file is matched with an existing `658000` account in Odoo,
and the existing account is used instead of creating a new one.
.. _localizations/france/fec-reconcilable-flag:
Reconcilable flag
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
An account is technically flagged as *reconcilable* if the first line in which it appears has the
:guilabel:`EcritureLet` field filled out, indicating that the accounting entry will be reconciled
with another one.
.. note::
The field can be left empty on the line, but the entry must still be reconciled with an
unrecorded payment. The account is flagged as reconcilable once the import of the move lines
requires it.
.. _localizations/france/fec-account-type:
Account type and templates matching
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Since the account **type** is not specified in the FEC format, **new** accounts are created with the
default type :guilabel:`Current Assets`. After the import process, they are matched against the
installed Chart of Account templates. The *reconcile* flag is also determined this way.
The matching is performed by comparing the left-most digits, starting with all digits, followed by
3 digits, and then 2 digits.
.. example::
+------------+------------+-----------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| Name | Code | Full comparison | 3-digits comparison | 2-digits comparison |
+============+============+=================+=====================+=====================+
| Template | `400000` | `400000` | `400` | `40` |
+------------+------------+-----------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| CompteNum | `40100000` | `40100000` | `401` | `40` |
+------------+------------+-----------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| **Result** | | | | Match **found** |
+------------+------------+-----------------+---------------------+---------------------+
The account type is then flagged as :guilabel:`payable` and :guilabel:`reconcilable` based on the
account template.
.. _localizations/france/fec-journals:
Journals
^^^^^^^^
Journals are checked against the existing ones in Odoo to avoid duplicates, even when importing
multiple FEC files.
If a journal with the same code already exists, the existing journal is used instead of creating a
new one.
New journals have the prefix :guilabel:`FEC-` added to their name. For example, :guilabel:`ACHATS`
becomes :guilabel:`FEC-ACHATS`.
.. note::
Journals are *not* archived, allowing the user to manage them as desired.
.. _localizations/france/fec-journal-type:
Journal type determination
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The journal type is not specified in the format (similar to the accounts) and is initially created
with the default type :guilabel:`general`.
At the end of the import process, the journal type is determined based on the following rules
regarding related moves and accounts:
- | :guilabel:`bank`: Moves in these journals always include a line (debit or credit) impacting a
liquidity account.
| :guilabel:`cash` / :guilabel:`bank` can be interchanged, so :guilabel:`bank` is assigned when
this condition is met.
- | :guilabel:`sale`: Moves in these journals mostly have debit lines on receivable accounts and
credit lines on tax income accounts.
| Sale refund journal items are debit/credit inverted.
- | :guilabel:`purchase`: Moves in these journals mostly have credit lines on payable accounts and
debit lines on expense accounts.
| Purchase refund journal items are debit/credit inverted.
- | :guilabel:`general`: Used for everything else.
.. note::
- A minimum of three moves is required to identify the journal type.
- A threshold of 70% of the moves must meet the criteria for a journal type to be determined.
.. example::
Suppose we are analyzing the moves that share a certain :guilabel:`journal_id`.
+------------------------------------------------------------+-------+------------+
| Moves | Count | Percentage |
+============================================================+=======+============+
| that have a sale account line and no purchase account line | 0 | 0 |
+------------------------------------------------------------+-------+------------+
| that have a purchase account line and no sale account line | 1 | 25% |
+------------------------------------------------------------+-------+------------+
| that have a liquidity account line | 3 | **75%** |
+------------------------------------------------------------+-------+------------+
| **Total** | 4 | 100% |
+------------------------------------------------------------+-------+------------+
The journal :guilabel:`type` would be :guilabel:`bank`, because the bank's move percentage (75%)
exceeds the threshold (70%).
.. _localizations/france/fec-partners:
Contacts
^^^^^^^^
Each contact keeps its :guilabel:`Reference` from the :guilabel:`CompAuxNum` field.
.. note::
These fields are searchable based on previous FEC imports for fiscal/audit purposes.
.. tip::
Similar and potential duplicate contacts can be merged using the Data Cleaning App.
.. _localizations/france/fec-moves:
Moves
^^^^^
Entries are posted and reconciled immediately upon submission, with the :guilabel:`EcritureLet`
field used to match the entries.
The :guilabel:`EcritureNum` field represents the name of the moves, but it may sometimes be left
empty. In such cases, the :guilabel:`PieceRef` field is used instead.
.. _localizations/france/fec-rounding-issue:
Rounding issues
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A rounding tolerance is applied based on currency precision for debit and credit amounts (i.e., 0.01
for EUR). If the difference falls under this tolerance, a new line is added to the move, called
:guilabel:`Import rounding difference`, targeting the following accounts:
- `658000` Charges diverses de gestion courante, for added debits
- `758000` Produits divers de gestion courante, for added credits
.. _localizations/france/fec-missing-move-name:
Missing move name
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If the the :guilabel:`EcritureNum` field is not filled out and :guilabel:`PieceRef` field is not
suited to determine the move name (it may be used as an accounting move line reference), it becomes
impossible to identify which lines should be grouped into a single move, and effectively preventing
the creation of balanced moves.
In such cases, a final attempt is made to group all lines by the same journal and date
(:guilabel:`JournalLib`, :guilabel:`EcritureDate`). If this grouping generates balanced moves
(sum(credit) - sum(debit) = 0), then each different combination of journal and date creates a new
move.
.. example::
`ACH` + `2021/05/01` --> new move on journal `ACH` with name `20210501`.
If this attempt fails, an error message is displayed, listing all the move lines that are considered
unbalanced.
.. _localizations/france/fec-partner-information:
Contact information
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If a line includes contact information, it is copied to the accounting move itself, provided the
targeted journal is of type :guilabel:`payable` or :guilabel:`receivable`.
.. _localizations/france/fec-export:
FEC Export

.. _localizations/france/vat-anti-fraud-certification:
VAT anti-fraud certification
----------------------------
Since January 2018, new anti-fraud legislation has been in effect in France and its overseas
territories (DOM-TOM). This legislation establishes specific requirements for the integrity,
security, storage, and archiving of sales data. Odoo complies with these legal requirements by
providing a module and a downloadable certificate of conformity.
Anti-fraud cash register software, such as Odoo (CGI art. 286, I. 3° bis), is required for companies
taxable in France or DOM-TOM, where some customers are private individuals (B2C). This rule applies
to all company sizes, but auto-entrepreneurs exempt from VAT are unaffected.

********
To ensure inalterability, every order or journal entry is encrypted upon validation. This number
(or hash) is calculated from the document's key data and the hash of the precedent documents. The
module introduces an interface to test the data's inalterability. The test will fail if any
information is modified on a document after its validation. The algorithm recomputes all the hashes
and compares them against the initial ones. In case of failure, the system points out the first
corrupted document recorded in the system.
Only users with :doc:`administrator </applications/general/users/access_rights>` access rights can
initiate the inalterability check:
- For POS orders, go to :menuselection:`Point of Sales --> Reporting --> POS Inalterability Check`;
- For journal entries, go to :menuselection:`Invoicing/Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings`.
In the :guilabel:`Reporting` section, click :guilabel:`Download the Data Inalterability Check
Report`.

The system also processes automatic sales closings daily, monthly, and annually. Such closings
compute the sales total for the period and the cumulative grand totals from the very first sales
entry recorded in the system.
To access closings, either go to :menuselection:`Point of Sales --> Reporting --> Sales Closings` or
:menuselection:`Invoicing/Accounting --> Reporting --> Sales Closings`.
.. note::
- Closings compute the totals for journal entries of sales journals (Journal Type = Sales).
- For multi-companies environments, such closings are performed by company.
- POS orders are posted as journal entries at the closing of the POS session. Closing a POS
session can be done anytime. To prompt users to do it daily, the module prevents them from
resuming a session that was opened more than 24 hours ago. Such a session must be closed before
selling again.
- A periods total is computed from all the journal entries posted after the previous closing of
the same type, regardless of their posting date. Recording a new sales transaction for a
period already closed will be counted in the very next closing.
.. tip::
For test & audit purposes, closings can be manually generated in :ref:`developer mode
<developer-mode>`. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Technical --> Scheduled Actions`.
In the scheduled actions list view, open the desired :guilabel:`Sale Closing` action and click
:guilabel:`Run manually`.
