Getting started with Fiscal invoicing¶

By the end of this tutorial, you will have picked a model, imported its invoice file and submitted those invoices to the FNE for certification.

Screen names are given in French

The Minlessika interface is available in French and in English, but the screenshots in this documentation are in French. Each tab or button name is shown here as it appears on a French screen, with its English translation in parentheses.

Prerequisites¶

The Fiscal invoicing module activated for your organization
The FNE API key filled in and certification enabled under Paramètres › Général (Settings › General)
The IMPORT.CREATE and IMPORT.TRANSMIT permissions (see the reference)

Steps¶

1. Pick a model¶

Open Paramètres › Modèles (Settings › Models). The list gathers the standard models of the platform, marked with the Standard origin, and those of your organization.

Find the standard model matching your invoicing — classic, BTP/TELECOM, distribution, transit… — then click Cloner (Clone): give it a code and a name, and it joins your models. The clone is yours: you will be able to change its fields and its layout without touching the standard.

One model, two flows

Every model carries its invoice flow and its credit note flow, each with its own import mapping and its own document template. You do not have to create a separate model for credit notes.

2. Get the model file¶

Open your model, then, in the Fichiers modèles (Model files) section, click Excel next to the Facture (Invoice) flow. The module generates a workbook whose columns follow the model mapping exactly.

That workbook carries an internal marker identifying the model: it is the marker, not the file name, that will tell the module how to read your data.

3. Fill in the file¶

Fill in one row per invoice line: the rows sharing the same invoice reference form a single invoice. The Légende (Legend) sheet of the workbook recalls the expected columns, which are required, and the allowed values; what they mean sits in the default fields of a model.

4. Create the import¶

Open Imports, click Nouvel import (New import), choose your file then Importer (Import). The module reads the workbook, recognizes its model and creates an import with the Prêt (Ready) status.

5. Check the import¶

Open the created import. It shows its Factures (Invoices), its Avoirs (Credit notes), and the Erreurs et avertissements (Errors and warnings) section, which counts the anomalies: fatal ones block submission, warnings do not.

Fix the file if needed and upload it again on the same import with Ré-importer un fichier (Re-import a file).

6. Submit to the FNE¶

Click Transmettre (Submit) at the bottom of the import to send the whole batch, or on an invoice row to send only that one. The import status changes to En cours de traitement (Processing), then to Traité (Processed) once all documents are handled.

7. Track the results¶

Open Historique des transmissions (Submission history): each accepted document carries its FNE reference, its certification date, its proof (PDF) and its verification link (Lien FNE, FNE link). Failed documents land in Factures et avoirs en échec (Failed invoices and credit notes), where you can replay them.

The Tableau de bord (Dashboard) sums it all up: submitted volumes, success rate, failures and sticker balance.
