French Portal: Annuaire de la facturation electronique 

If the test participant ID (SIREN Number) is currently not registered in the qualification system of French public directory, it's recommended to confirm the feasibility of deactivating the Peppol Participant ID and then delete it. After that it's required to re-register a new Participant ID according to the Community Blog: France: Register test participant ID with SAP Document and Reporting Compliance, cloud edition

Please kindly note that for the TEST environment, the only option is to use the SIREN Number. 

  • In the test system, only test SIREN number can be used — not real company's SIREN number.
  • In production system, there are multiple ways to register electronic address, including using only SIREN, SIREN_Suffix, SIREN_SIRET, or SIREN_SIRET_Routing Code.
