Hi Gaurav,

Embargo

An embargo is a government prohibition against the shipment of particular products to a particular country for economic or political reasons.

SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS) provides an embargo service that helps you manage import and export processes in global trade. The embargo service automatically checks whether there are any "critical" business partners contained in your customs document, that is, whether the business partners are in an embargo situation. If there is an embargo situation, the document is blocked for further processing. Essentially, the embargo service enables you to map all possible combinations of legal regulations using three functions in combination with one another

Sanctioned Party List Screening

A sanctioned party list contains a list of persons and companies with whom trade is prohibited by law. These boycott lists are issued by government agencies and can be obtained from data providers. All traders must comply with these lists.

Sanctioned party list screening lets you compare the addresses of your business partners (such as the consignee) with the sanctioned party lists automatically prior to goods export. It is a system-independent solution that performs and logs the SPL check and is fully integrated into the complete business process.

Hope this information helps

Regards,

Prarit

Well,

Embargo checks make sure you don't trade with an embargoed (government prohibition) Country and SPL checks ensure you don't trade with a business partner who features in the boycott or denied party list.
