E-invoicing: what identifiers should you enter on your clients' records?

1. What is this for?

To send an electronic invoice, Furious needs your client's addressing ID: it's the address where their approved platform receives invoices. Your client provides it to you.


​

2. What IDs exist?

  • SIREN: the most common case.

  • SIRET.

  • SIREN_SUFFIXE: in the form of SIREN_suffixe, e.g., 391779196_COMPTA.

  • SIREN_SIRET_CODEROUTAGE: required by some clients, in the form of SIREN_SIRET_code, e.g., 123456789_12345678900123_furious.

💡 Tip: a code in the form SIREN_SIRET, without a third part (e.g., 428173975_42817397500080), is a SIRET. Enter only the SIRET (42817397500080) in the SIRET field.

💡 Tip: a code in the form 0225:123456789 is a SIREN. Enter 123456789; Furious adds 0225 automatically.

⚠️ Warning: do not copy a SIREN_SUFFIXE into the routing code field. The VAT number is not an addressing ID.


​

3. Where to enter them?

  • SIREN: in the company record. Its contacts inherit it. It can also be recorded on a contact, useful when one company groups several brands.

  • SIRET, SIREN_SUFFIXE, SIREN_SIRET_CODEROUTAGE: in the company record, or directly on the billing contact.

Use the field that matches the code your client provided. If they didn't provide it, ask them.


​

4. Fill in one field, or all?

One is enough. If multiple are filled, Furious uses the most precise, in this order: routing code, then suffix, then SIRET, then SIREN.

Example: if both the SIREN and the SIRET of your client are recorded, the invoice is sent via the SIRET. If your client wants to receive invoices via their SIREN, leave only the SIREN on record.


​

5. What is needed on the billing contact?

  • A name. It doesn’t have to be a person: “Accounting Department” works. Without a name, the send fails.

  • An email address, mandatory. It's used to send the invoice by email if your client’s platform cannot receive it.


​

6. How to verify a record is ready?

The CRM record displays a visual check of the fields necessary for electronic invoicing, filled or missing. In the invoice list, a filter displays invoices whose contact information is incomplete.

Key takeaways

Enter the addressing ID provided by your client in the client record, usually the SIREN. One is enough. Also, ensure their billing contact has a name and an email address.
