Impact of running boycott and embargo compliance checks

When boycotts and embargoes compliance checks are run, these documents are impacted:

  • Sales and purchase orders
  • Shipments, receipts and return orders

Sales and purchase orders

When the compliance check is executed for sales or purchase orders, Infor LN performs the check based on:

  • The business partner, country-from and country-to specified for the order.
  • The trade type and effective period specified for the active boycotts and embargoes.

These are the possible scenarios:

  • An active embargo/boycott line does not exist for the order. In this case, a compliance check result is not written in the Document Compliance Check Results (tcgtc1510m000) session.
  • An embargo/boycott line exists which may not be applicable due to these reasons:
    • The embargo/boycott line is not active.
    • The embargo/boycott line is not effective for the period related to the orders.
    • The item linked to the order is excluded or is not included in the embargo/boycott item lines.
    • A line exception is present for the business partner or country linked to the order.

    In this case, a compliance check result of the type Success is written in the Document Compliance Check Results (tcgtc1510m000) session.

  • An embargo/boycott exists and is applicable to the order. In this case, compliance check result of the type Failure is written in the Document Compliance Check Results (tcgtc1510m000) session. Also, the order is blocked and cannot be processed further.

The blocked sales or purchase orders can be unblocked by:

  • Modifying the order data such as from/to country and business partner.
  • Modifying the embargo or boycott. You can modify the linked item lines.
  • Overriding the compliance check results.
Note: If multiple failure check results are written for a sales or purchase order, you must update or override all check results to unblock and process the order further.

Shipments, receipts and return orders

The boycott and embargo compliance checks are also performed when a shipment, receipt or return order is confirmed.

When the goods of a sales order are returned, a sales return order is created. When the sales return order is received, during confirm receipt a compliance check on an export embargo and on an export/domestic outbound boycott is executed.
