Finance & accounting: search that understands your references
A French SIRET number has 14 digits, a SIREN has 9, and both identify the same company. You need to know which one you're searching for.
The problem, specifically in this industry
In a ledger of accounting records or a business directory, the user is looking for an exact identifier — not something approximate. A SIRET typed with spaces, an IBAN copied from a bank slip, a VAT number: each has its own structure, and an approximate match has no value here. You want the right invoice, not one that merely resembles it.
What Heurix understands in your references
The finance rule pack activates when you pick this industry, at indexing time. It produces these annotations, each becoming a usable filter:
| Annotation | What it isolates |
|---|---|
SIRET_55210055400021 | the SIRET, with or without spaces |
SIREN_552100554 | the SIREN, never confused with a SIRET |
IBAN_fr76... | the French IBAN |
TVA_fr40552100554 | the intra-EU VAT number |
DOC_FACTURE | the document type |
On real references
| Indexed reference | What the engine extracts |
|---|---|
| Invoice SIRET 552 100 554 00021 | SIRET_55210055400021 · DOC_FACTURE |
| Quote SIREN 493118373 | SIREN_493118373 · DOC_DEVIS |
| Transfer FR76 3000 6000 0112 3456 7890 189 | IBAN_fr7630006000011234567890189 |
The trap a generalist engine falls into
The same SIRET is written “552 100 554 00021” on one document and “55210055400021” in your accounting export. Both must lead to the same record — and the first 9 digits must never be mistaken for a separate SIREN.
Why the pack changes the outcome
The finance pack recognizes each identifier by its own structure, regardless of formatting. A generalist engine would treat these numbers as plain text: exact-identifier search becomes fragile there, even though it's the only use case that matters in this field.
🔧 A term specific to your catalog that the pack still misses? Add your own Custom Rule from the console, simply describing what it should recognize — no regex required.
