Embargoes and boycotts

The Embargoes and Boycotts functionality has been added to Trade Management.

An embargo is generally driven by regulations or rules at a country or international organization such as the United Nations that must be followed. Embargoes are used to stop a country from selling to or buying items from a country. In LN, the country or groups of countries that cannot sell to or buy from a specific country or group of countries can be modeled. The embargo can apply to all items, specific groups of items, or harmonized tariff codes. Embargoes can have an export or an import scenario. In the case of export, this applies to sales orders, contract deliverables, service orders, maintenance sales orders, and work orders. In the case of import, this applies to purchase orders, services orders, maintenance sales orders, and work orders.

Boycotts are used to stop working with specific business partners or countries by not selling to or buying items from a specific business partner or country. In LN, the business partner, groups of business partners, country, and groups of countries can be modeled for which the export and domestic outbound to and the import and domestic inbound from, is stopped. The boycott can apply to specific items or all items. In the case of export or domestic outbound, this applies to sales orders, contract deliverables, service orders, maintenance sales orders, and work orders. In the case of import or domestic inbound, this applies to purchase orders, services orders, maintenance sales orders, and work orders.

The Embargoes and Boycotts functionality, including the applicable trade scenario, number group, and series, can be implemented in the Trade Management Parameters (tcgtc0100m000) session. Consequently, Embargo and Boycott become available as document check sources in the Document Compliance Check Results (tcgtc1610m000) session.
