France FEC

Make the Fichier des Écritures Comptables with its 18 columns.

Updated Nov 9, 2026

# France FEC

The FEC is a tab-separated text file with one row per ledger line and these columns, in this order: JournalCode, JournalLib, EcritureNum, EcritureDate, CompteNum, CompteLib, CompAuxNum, CompAuxLib, PieceRef, PieceDate, EcritureLib, Debit, Credit, EcritureLet, DateLet, ValidDate, Montantdevise, Idevise.

Dates are YYYYMMDD and amounts use a decimal comma. The file name starts with your SIREN: set it under company details (Company number), or the name starts with nine zeros.

Where it goes. Keep it, give it to your accountant, and hand it over if the tax office audits you. Pop Books does not file it.

Pop Books makes the file. You send it. Pop Books does not connect to any tax authority, portal or Peppol access point, and it does not file anything for you. The layout notes were last reviewed in 2026-11; confirm unusual cases with your adviser or provider before you rely on a file in a new country.
