Business Process Type

The Business Process Type tab configures BT-23 — the UBL ProfileID, known as the Cadre de facturation in the French e-invoicing reform. The value identifies two things at once:

• The nature of the invoice — goods (B), services (S) or mixed goods + services (M).
• The lifecycle stage or special case — standard deposit, already-paid invoice, final invoice after a deposit, subcontracting, multi-vendor, e-reporting.

Together with the BAR routing (which carries the channel — B2B, B2G, B2C…), BT-23 carries the content nature — they are orthogonal classifications and the receiving Plateforme Agréée uses both to decide how the document is processed.

The override mechanism is described in the Overview. The rule editor is identical in semantics to Invoice Type — same operator set, same top-to-bottom evaluation order.

Default profile ID

Field	Description
Default	The Cadre de facturation code used when no rule matches. Picked from the profile-ids reference list. The most common B2B default is B1 (goods invoice deposit) or S1 (service invoice deposit).

Cadre de facturation codes

The naming convention is <letter><digit>:

• Letter — B (goods / bien), S (services / prestation), M (mixed / both).
• Digit — lifecycle stage or special case.

Code	Meaning
B1	Goods invoice deposit (standard goods invoice).
S1	Service invoice deposit (standard service invoice).
M1	Mixed invoice deposit — non-accessory goods and services.
B2	Already-paid goods invoice.
S2	Already-paid service invoice.
M2	Already-paid mixed invoice.
S3	Subcontracting payment request with direct payment — B2G only.
B4	Final goods invoice after a deposit payment.
S4	Final service invoice after a deposit payment.
M4	Final mixed invoice after a deposit payment.
S5	Subcontractor service invoice deposit.
S6	Co-contractor service invoice deposit.
B7	Goods invoice with e-reporting — VAT already collected.
S7	Service invoice with e-reporting — VAT already collected.
B8	Multi-vendor goods invoice.
S8	Multi-vendor service invoice.
M8	Multi-vendor mixed invoice — not exclusively Sx or Bx.

The full list lives in the profile-ids reference list (Configuration → Reference Lists).

Rule-based selection

The rule editor is the same as on the Invoice Type tab — AND / OR combinator, the same ten operators (gt0, lt0, ge0, le0, eq, ne, not-empty, empty, contains, not-contains), top-to-bottom evaluation. The result selector lists the profile-ids values.

Rules typically combine the source's product / line classification with lifecycle flags to land on the correct Cadre code.

Common rule patterns

Source signal	Combined with	Resulting Cadre
Lines mark every item as a service	(no other condition)	S1 (or S4 for a final invoice after deposit, S2 if already paid…)
Lines mix goods and services	(no other condition)	M1
All lines are goods	(no other condition)	B1
Document carries an "already-paid" flag	+ goods / services nature	B2 / S2 / M2
Document is a final-after-deposit	+ goods / services nature	B4 / S4 / M4
Subcontracting flag set	(services only, B2G context)	S3 (or S5 for a regular subcontractor invoice)
Multi-vendor flag set	+ goods / services / mixed nature	B8 / S8 / M8

The exact source signals are deployment-specific — they come from the upstream ERP's classification of the line items, payment status, and contract role.

Tips & best practices

• The default covers the simplest case. A B2B installation that only emits standard goods or service invoices can keep B1 or S1 as the default and skip the rule editor entirely. Rules are needed only when several Cadre codes are produced from the same template.
• Determine the nature (B / S / M) from the line items, not the document. The most reliable rule chain looks at line-level classification (typical pattern: TAG_LINE_GOODS_OR_SERVICES contains "S" for service lines) and aggregates to the document level.
• Final invoices after deposit are not the same as already-paid invoices. B4 / S4 / M4 (final after deposit) reference an earlier B1 / S1 / M1 invoice; B2 / S2 / M2 (already paid) document a payment that happened outside the e-invoicing flow. Mixing them up is a frequent rejection cause.
• S3 is reserved for B2G subcontracting. It triggers a specific public-procurement workflow at Chorus Pro. Never use it on a B2B document — pair it with the BAR routing set to B2G.
• B7 / S7 are e-reporting-only flows. They cover B2C and other out-of-scope sales where the seller still has to declare turnover for VAT collection. The BAR routing should typically be B2C.
• The BAR routing and the Cadre de facturation are orthogonal. A B1 (goods invoice deposit) can be routed B2B, B2G, or B2BINT — they answer different questions. Keep both rule sets clean and distinct.
• Add codes to the reference list, not here. Custom Cadre codes (very rare) should be added to the profile-ids reference list — both the default selector and the rule result selector pick them up automatically.
