SIAE Bordero Excel Template: Free Download
In brief:
- The Excel template helps you organize your tracks before entering them into the SIAE portal
- It reduces compilation time from 45-90 minutes to 20-30 minutes
- It does not replace submission via the SIAE portal — it is only a preparation tool
- EasyBordero automates the entire process (3 minutes) without needing a template
What the Excel Template is For
The SIAE (Italian Society of Authors and Publishers) portal requires for each track: title, author, publisher, and work code. The Excel template allows you to:
- Pre-fill the tracks you play most often with their respective SIAE codes
- Copy the data into the SIAE portal without having to search for them every time
- Keep an archive of tracks already identified in the SIAE catalog
Template Structure
| Column | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|

Limitations of the Excel Template
The Excel template has some important limitations:
- You still have to enter the data into the SIAE portal — the template does not submit anything
- You have to manually search for each track in the SIAE catalog the first time
- It does not manage remixes — a remix has a different work code from the original
- It updates only manually — each new track must be added by hand
- Time: even with the template, it takes 20-30 minutes to compile a set of 50 tracks

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Excel template replace the SIAE portal?
No. The template is only a preparation tool. The music program must be compiled and submitted via the official SIAE portal. EasyBordero is the only tool that also automates the submission.
Where can I find SIAE work codes?
Work codes can be found by searching for the track in the SIAE catalog, available on the SIAE portal. EasyBordero performs this search automatically.
