Screen a Trade Partner

Once a Trade Partner is added to your database, you can determine if the Trade Partner is a denied party. The screening function in Tradeflow allows you to screen any Trade Partner you add against the Denied Party List to identify possible matches. These matches are displayed in the Trade Party Screen Results tab. See View Screening Results for more information.

You can keep track of how many times a Trade Partner has been screened because every time a screening is performed, Tradeflow generates a unique Transaction ID and displays it in the Screening Audit. See Screening Audit Trail for more information.

Based on the preferences set by your administrator, you may have the option of screening every field of your Trade Partner's address.

To screen multiple Trade Partners at once, see Mass Screening for more information.

4 In the Restricted Party Screening section of the Trade Partner Detail tab, click Click to Screen Trade Partner, the Screen Trade Partner page appears.

5 Click Screen to screen the Trade Partner. The results will appear in the Trade Partner Screen Results tab. See View Screening Results for more information.

Field

Description

Enhanced Match?

Allows you to widen your search by including similar results, using a combination of "fuzzy" search algorithms. Select from:

Yes - retrieves closely worded results, such as a transposition of two characters; or use of punctuation within a word (such as a hyphen).
No - will ignore closely worded results, and only retrieve exactly worded values only.

Phonetic Match?

Allows you to widen your search by including results that sound similar. Select from:

Yes - retrieves results sounding similar to the field values provided for screening. For example: if the field value is Almori, words such as, Al-Amiri, Almari and Almori are retrieved.
No - retrieves results that match the field values exactly. For example: if the field value is Almori, then just the word Almori is retrieved

Match on all Lists?

Option to match on all provided list of countries.

Yes - Match against all available Denied Party Lists. Yes is selected by default and all available countries are considered for screening.
No - The country check boxes are enabled and you can select one or more countries for screening.

Threshold

To minimize the false positives, Tradeflow offers the ability to set a sensitivity threshold for screening.

"Points" are assigned based on the likelihood of a hit.

Screen on Contacts?

Option to choose screening on contacts. Select from Yes or No.

Screen from Last Screened Date?

Option to start screening from last screened date.
