What is the service code (Chorus Pro)?

The service code is a code that has to be included on the electronic invoice when you have to send it to the French public administration through Chorus Pro. It serves to direct the invoice to the correct department of the receiver and is mandatory.

How to obtain the service code

Each public entity has its own service codes. For this reason, your customer has to send you this information when you need to invoice. There is also an alternative, the B2Brouter directory, where you will find all the service codes related to a public entity.

How to add the service code

You have to create a new invoice to be able to add the service code. To do this, access the Invoices section via the main menu at the top and then select Invoices issued from the options activated on the left side of the menu. Next, use the New Invoice option. And then:

• From the Customer drop-down select the invoice recipient.
• If the selected receiver is in the B2Brouter directory, it is activated in the Organizational unit option.
• Select the service code in the drop-down Organizational unit.

Finally, continue with the creation of the invoice and the service code will be already included.

If the Organizational Unit is not activated:

If you have followed the previous steps but the drop-down Organizational Unit is not activated, it means that the customer you have selected or its service code does not appear in the B2Brouter directory. In this case, you have the following option:

Create and assign the organizational units to the client.

You can create the organizational units assigned to each receiver. To do this, access the Contacts section through the top main menu and open the company by clicking on the name:

• On the next page, select Add organizational unit located on the left.

You can then add the data to the Organizational Unit with the corresponding service code:

• In the menu on the left, select Fiscal data, put the name and address. They can match those of the main company.
• Fill in the other options you want/need.
• In the same left menu, select Invoices.
• Go to Method of sending invoices.
• Add the code in Service code.

Finally, save the changes using the Save option and repeat the process to create as many organizational units as you need for each customer.
