France CTC 1.4.0 – Support for "Warning" validation rules

[pcahurel]

Hi Philip,

Thanks for adding support for the France CTC 1.4.0 validation rules in phive 4.3.9.

I have a question regarding the French Schematron package published by the FNFE.

The FNFE released two variants of the additional French Schematron rules:

the target version, to be used for document issuance from 2026-09-01;
a "Warning" version, intended for receiving platforms until 2026-09-30, allowing a one-month transition period in reception.

Does the new phive release support both variants, or only the target version?

If both are supported, how can the Warning rules be selected (different VESID, configuration option, etc.)?

This is important because, a receiving platform need to validate incoming documents using the Warning rules during the transition period.

Thanks!

Hello Patrick,

phive-rules contains both version - the current (1.3.1) and the new one (1.4.0). Both are only present as the "error" version.

phive offers the usage of "pseudo versions" that can pick the "right" version baseed on some specific rules (see https://github.com/phax/ph-diver?tab=readme-ov-file#dvr-pseudo-versions and https://github.com/phax/phive#additional-pseudo-versions).

So to access the proper artefact in your scenario, use the pseudo version latest-active which makes your VESID look like fr.ctc:ubl-invoice:latest-active - as long as the date is before 1.9.2026 it will choose 1.3.1, afterwards it will choose 1.4.0

hth, Philip
