EINSI - SIREN/SIRET validation

Filter records

1. In the General block, define records you want to include in the validation process.
2. You can enter 1 or a range of business partners.
3. If you don't select All roles, you can select 1 or a combination of roles to limit to your search.
4. In the Options block, you can include natural persons and/or public sector companies by selecting their respective checkboxes.
   Business partners in these categories are not included in the general search by default.
5. Use the Formula field to create a custom filter. You can select fields from the following tables: BPARTNER, BPSUPPLIER, and BPCUSTOMER.
6. Select OK to validate records and generate a log file.
7. If there are errors or inconsistencies between your records and those in the Sirene® database, a message displays with the number of errors. Results are listed in the log file.

Results

Results display in a log file. For each company, there is a line for each value compared against the database. Each line details if the value matches and if not, a reason is provided. If all fields match correctly, a message states that the BP is valid.

If 1 or more values for a business partner do not match the database, the last line for the business partner displays a message that the BP is not valid. You need to make corrections to your records manually. There is no automatic update of information between your records and the Sirene® database.
