FEC File Generation

Periodically, companies doing business in France must submit the Fichier d'Ecritures Comptables (FEC) to the taxing authorities.

You can use the FEC File Generation form to generate the two FEC files: a description file and a data file containing the accounting entries.

Prerequisite: A valid FEC Data file requires that all transactions have diary numbers. The FEC file entries are numbered sequentially by diary. Therefore, if you generate an FEC Data file that contains transactions posted prior to implementing diaries, those transactions will have incomplete data in the file. The FEC Data file will only contain complete entries for transactions that are posted after you implement diaries.
