FEC Accounting Export (France)

How to generate FEC-ready accounting data from Kinnovis

Updated this week

Use case

You run one or more locations in France and your accountant needs a structured export of your sales accounting entries (in a FEC-compatible structure) to import into accounting software. Instead of manually rebuilding journal lines from invoices, you can export structured transaction data directly from Kinnovis.

What the FEC Export does

The FEC Export helps you generate a CSV file containing accounting entry lines derived from:

  • Invoices

  • Credit notes

You can configure journal codes and account mappings per location, which is especially helpful if you operate multiple sites or franchise locations.

Important: This export is not a full FEC file that you can submit directly to the authorities. You (or your accountant) will typically import this file into your accounting software and enrich/complete it there as needed.

What you’ll need before you start

To configure the export correctly, you should have (from your accountant or chart of accounts):

  • Sales journal code + label (e.g. VE / VENTES)

  • Credit note journal code + label (e.g. AV / AVOIRS CLIENTS)

  • Your customer (client) account (commonly 411)

  • Your revenue accounts for each revenue type (rents, deposits, insurance/protection plan, products, late fees, etc.)

  • Your VAT accounts for each VAT rate you use (e.g. 20%, 10%, 0%)


Summary

The FEC Export gives you a repeatable way to produce structured accounting lines from Kinnovis invoices and credit notes, with per-location configuration for journals and accounts—reducing manual work and risk of inconsistent exports.
