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%, it is considered a "possible match." As soon as two other fields match, the result of the check is a "match". Otherwise, the result is "OK."
Sometimes, an entry on a sanctions list does not contain enough information for a clear match. In these cases, a "possible match" is returned if the name matches at least 90%.
If an entity has achieved a Match on a sanctions list, the entity is blocked and no more sales orders can be generated.
