REJ_SEMAN: Semantic format not compliant
What it means
French e-invoicing reason REJ_SEMAN means the semantic format of one or more data items is not compliant, so the invoice data were rejected.
The usual cause
The data do not meet the semantic format of the specifications. Either the platform built the invoice data (F1) wrongly from a compliant invoice, or the invoice (F2) itself has the anomaly.
How to fix it
If the platform built the data wrongly, it can generate them again with the same invoice number. If the invoice is at fault, correct it in your invoicing system.
