THE COMPLIANCE CHALLENGE

Sanctions Compliance Cannot Rely on Disconnected Manual Checks

U.S. sanctions and export-control requirements affect companies operating in international markets, working with U.S. persons, processing U.S. dollar transactions or handling U.S.-origin goods and technology.

Restricted-party lists and regulatory requirements change frequently. When screening is performed manually or outside SAP, organizations can face:

  • Delayed or inconsistent screening decisions
  • Missed list updates and changes to restricted parties
  • Unclear responsibilities across Compliance, IT, Sales and Procurement
  • High effort when reviewing potential matches
  • Incomplete documentation for internal and external audits
  • Business interruptions when risks are identified too late

A reliable screening process should be integrated into the systems and workflows where business partners and transactions are created.

THE SOLUTION

Embed Restricted Party Screening in Your SAP Processes

Marlin Compliance Screening integrates restricted-party and sanctions screening into SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA.

Customers, vendors and business partners can be screened during creation, modification and use. Relevant transaction data can also be included in the screening process.

Potential matches are routed to authorized reviewers. Decisions, supporting information, approvals and blocks are documented in a centralized compliance record.

This helps your organization establish consistent controls without relying on disconnected applications or manual handoffs.

HOW IT WORKS

From Business Partner Data to a Documented Decision

Use current U.S. and international sanctions, denied-party, embargo, PEP, or organization-specific lists according to your compliance requirements and licensed data sources. 
 Screening can be initiated when business partners, customers, or vendors are created or changed, as well as during relevant sales and procurement processes. 
Possible matches are presented to authorized compliance users in a centralized review environment. Rules, responsibilities, and risk thresholds can be configured for your organization. 
Screening results, reviews, notes, documents, approvals, and blocking decisions are recorded to support consistent and audit-ready compliance processes.
