Block and Negative list Difference

[venu_ch8]

Dear GTS Experts,

I know, we can block the customers in two methods.

1.Positive /Nagative

2.Block

But,I Could not find any difference for both methods of blocking.

I checked in Google as well,But not understand difference.

Please let me know

Hi Venu

Block:- Initial level block applied by the system so that it can be displayed in the Blocked business partner.  report. 

Negative List:- Permanently block business partners that should not involve Periodic SPL screening and any transactional activities. 

Positive List:- Initially it is blocked by the system because it matches with any SPL master data, but after review compliance team found it is not that person so only releasing or removing the block is not enough so need to add it to the Positive List bucket. so that in every day periodic screening again it should not be blocked. 

Regards

Arun

Hi Venu,

The GTS System blocks the BPs in SPL Screening, when  there is a match with SPL entry for the BP in the system. hence we need to verify whether it is a true hit or false hit. here the Positive /Negative list will come in front of us. SAP has provided this option to utilize for a long term usage.

Because when you find the BP blocked and you need to verify the BP and move him to Negative List if it is a true hit . if it is a false hit and you find the BP is correct one, then you can move it to Positive List . so, as told by Kul Vaibhav, the BPs existing in Negative List /Positive List are screened using Periodically - Check Positive List Business Partners(/n/SAPSLL/SPL_CHSB1PLO) and check Negative List Business Partners (/n/SAPSLL/SPL_CHSB1NLO) .

But if you did not make any changes to the BPs which are in Blocked (when those are true hits) you can do various types of screenings available in the GTS System.

Hope now you understood the process in GTS.

if you still have any clarifications , please let us know.

Please mark if it is helpful.

Thanks,

Hi Venu,

I believe you will notice the difference while screening these business partners using various screening scenarios. Positive/Negative list business partners are excluded from screening unless you explicitly call those specific screening scenarios, whereas a blocked business partner can still be screened using various screening scenario.
