Fill in an account's or supplier's identification from its SIRET

On an account or supplier sheet, Nicoka fetches a company's legal information from the public registers, so you do not have to type it in.

Import the data

  1. Open the account or supplier sheet, or create a new one.
  2. In the Identification block, click the magnifier to the right of the Identification Number field.
  3. Enter the company's SIRET, SIREN or EU VAT number, then validate.

Import the company data window: SIRET entry

The fields of the sheet are filled in: all that is left is to save.

Identification block filled in: legal form, identification number, VAT number and trade register number

What is imported

  • French company (SIRET or SIREN): company name, legal form, address, industry, workforce, year of creation, VAT number and trade register number. The Trade Reg. number is the SIREN, filled in for a company registered with the RCS (commercial company, non-trading company, EIG, public industrial and commercial body…).
  • Company from another EU country (VAT number): VAT number, plus the company name and address when the member state publishes them in the VIES register.

Head office or establishment

A SIRET number (14 digits) identifies one specific establishment: Nicoka imports that establishment's address. A SIREN number (9 digits) identifies the company: Nicoka then imports the SIRET number and address of its head office, as does searching for the company by name when creating an account. For the account of a branch or secondary establishment, enter its own SIRET, then link it to its group: see Manage a group and its establishments.

What is left to enter

The Capital and the Trade Reg. Location (registry court city) are not published by the INSEE Sirene register: copy them from the company's Kbis extract or from its page on annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr.

Running the magnifier again on an existing sheet replaces the values of the imported fields.
