A check is carried out in Business Central against the available, active sanctions lists.
A check takes place
- when releasing sales orders or purchase orders, if these options are activated
- when a customer/vendor/contact is checked manually
- when a corresponding job is executed
The following fields are checked:
- Name
- City
- Country
- ZIP CODE
The name is searched for phonetically; if the name matches at least 90%, this results in a “Possible Match”. As soon as two other fields match, a check leads to a “Match”, otherwise the result of the check is “OK”.
If an entity has achieved a Match on a sanctions list, the entity is blocked and no more sales orders can be generated.
