208: Suspended
What it means
French e-invoicing status 208 means the recipient wants further supporting documents and has suspended processing of the invoice until they arrive.
The usual cause
The recipient needs more documents, for example because supporting documents are missing or insufficient (reason JUSTIF_ABS). Check the required comment (MDT-126) to see which documents are needed.
How to fix it
Send the missing documents with a lifecycle message with status 209 Complétée, through your platform. Processing resumes once the recipient has them.
