How does the Denied Party Screening work?

There are various settings to control the use of the Denied Party Screening in Scope. The settings can be set up for a Legal Entity, a Branch, or for an entire server.

  1. Automated query or manual query
    With automated query, Scope checks when the address was last checked and whether the Denied Party list has been updated in the meantime, if necessary, so that a new check is required. The check is performed automatically as soon as an address/business partner is inserted/used in a transaction. This means that not all addresses in Scope are checked, but only the addresses currently in use for which the time stamp of the last check is later than the list date. You do not have to do anything yourself, but you will be informed or prevented from further processing if the automated check fails against the addresses in the compliance list.

    With the manual query, you must proactively trigger the check. You can check individual addresses one by one, or you can check all addresses of a shipment/order in one go via Context menu > Extras.
  2. Validation red (error) or yellow (warning)
    For the Denied Party Screening, there is the option to decide whether an address that has not been checked requires a mandatory action or whether the validation should only be a warning, so that you are alerted to the missing check but can still complete the process without an address check.
  3. Percentage, from when the address validation raises an alarm
    You can specify in advance the percentage at which Scope issues a validation (red or yellow) when an address matches an address on the Denied Party checklist.  The default setting for the percentage is 80%. However, the percentage can be set differently.
  4. Date for Good Guy
     You can define how far into the future users (who have permission to set an address to Good Guy) can set the date field to override address validation. For example, you can give users the permission to set an address to Good Guy only for the current day, so that it is/will have to be checked again on the next day, if necessary. Each of these parameters can also be changed again during the current scope operation. So if, for example, you find that you prefer a manual check to the automated check, we are happy to change it back for you.

     

  5. Smart ‘Whitelist’ feature for Denied Party Screening

    We improved the existing ‘Good Guy’ feature mechanic with a smarter process. Major advantages over ‘Good Guy’ are continued automated checking of whitelisted addresses and no need to manually re-check the same address with same match result after some days. Re-checking is limited to changes in address or changes with matches on denied party lists.

    • To whitelist an address, Scope requires a full address check result, which is stores with all matches beyond threshold including their similarity.

    • Scope checks whitelisted addresses continuously in detail (matching entries plus similarity). Continuously in the sense the Denied Party Screening is configured to work (Automatic or Manual).

    • If Scope detects a deviation from a denied party screening detail check to the stored result, the address is removed from the white list, enforcing a manual check. This might happen when compliance lists got updated and some of the matches beyond the threshold changed.

    • If the address is changed in Scope, the address is removed from the white list - same as for a Good Guy setting.

    • When a user whitelists an address, a log entry with timestamp is added to Monitoring > Denied party Screening Events in the category WHITELIST.

    An address can only be whitelisted or flagged as GoodGuy, not both. Reset removes either the address from the whitelist or the GoodGuy until date.

    The whitelist feature requires a new permission ‘Denied Party Screening: Whitelist’. The permission for the GoodGuy functionality is ‘Denied Party Screening: Overrule by setting the good guy until date’.
