Functionality
Once they have been updated by the presiding authorities, the required sanctioned party lists are scanned by M.SecureTrade Sanctioned Party List Screening. By default, the sanctions list is that from Reguvis (German Federal Gazette). However, the application’s flexible architecture makes it possible to run checks on other lists. The data from these lists is then used in three scenarios:
Batch run
Master data can be checked against the lists either upon installation or periodically.
Process-accompanying check upon document creation
When an SAP document is created (standard order), the corresponding name and address data are checked against the lists.
Online direct inquiry
Data on individual persons can be checked against the lists from an online input screen.
Prüfung nach CSV-/XLS-Datei-Upload
Hochgeladene Personendaten werden nach Upload (CSV- oder XLS-Dateien) automatisch gegen die Listen geprüft.

Brexit: Without risk for medium-sized companies
The United Kingdom (UK) is Germany's fourth largest trading partner. Brexit will therefore present many companies with major challenges in the short term. For example, the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce expects the Brexit to add at least 10 million customs declarations annually. Mercoline provides tips on what help affected companies can expect from the foreign trade solution "M.SecureTrade Suite" for SAP ERP.
Business partner check functions for SAP S/4HANA with integrated Add-ons
SAP S/4HANA retools a number of routine tasks, eliminating conventional transactions for creating and servicing customers and suppliers in addition to influencing how they’re checked against sanction lists and embargos. That’s why it makes sense to convert to these functions before the migration to SAP S/4HANA.
