# Chorus Pro

French government B2G invoicing portal operated by AIFE; mandatory recipient channel for all invoices to French public entities.

## Definition

French government B2G invoicing portal operated by AIFE; mandatory recipient channel for all invoices to French public entities.

## Explanation

Accepts UBL Invoice, UN/CEFACT CII, Factur-X, and PDF formats; suppliers identify recipients by SIRET plus optional service code.

Chorus Pro remains the public-sector invoicing service. It is not a free B2B exchange fallback: under the reform, the PPF is limited to directory and public-service data functions, while businesses exchange invoices through an approved platform (PA, formerly PDP).
