What is FR-03?
FR-03 is a warning validation rule defined in the CIUS-FR (France) specification (FRA national rules). It checks whether french b2g invoices have specific requirements.
This is a soft validation failure. The invoice may pass initial transmission, but non-compliant values in this field can cause problems during tax audits, buyer-side processing, or downstream VAT reconciliation.
Why This Error Matters
French e-invoicing regulations require this for legal compliance. Invoices missing this information may be rejected by French government portals and business partners.
FR-03 is a soft failure. The invoice may pass initial validation, but the non-compliant field can cause issues at the receiving end — tax authorities may flag it during audits, buyer ERP systems may fail to process it, or VAT reconciliation may produce mismatches. Fixing warnings before they accumulate prevents larger compliance gaps.
