# Conduct sanction screening

When a sanction screening request for compliance verification is assigned to a supplier manager and they start working on it, they can verify the details using Relish.

## Before you begin

Ensure that the SLO Connector for Relish Data Assure plugin \(x\_reliq\_slo\_connec\) is installed. For more information on the required and dependent plugins for Relish, see [Relish Integration for Supplier Lifecycle Operations](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/source-to-pay-operations/supplier-lifecycle-operations/relish-slo-connector.md).

Role required: sn\_slm.manager, sn\_slm.owner, or sn\_slm.admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Supplier Lifecycle Operations** > **Source-to-Pay Workspace**.

2.  Navigate to **Lists** > **All work** > **Cases**.

3.  Open the case for sanction screening request.

    The **Review supplier primary data request** playbook opens.

4.  Select **Validate** to invoke the Relish verification process.

    It takes a few minutes for Relish to complete the verification process. Depending on the result, the supplier manager can approve or reject the request.

    For more about the parameters sent to and received from Relish, see [Sanction screening parameters](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/source-to-pay-operations/supplier-lifecycle-operations/sanction-screening-request-response.md).

    **Note:**

    -   The supplier's sanction status is automatically updated in the supplier record. The status is set to **Clear** if the screening passes or passes with cautions, **Blacklisted** if it fails, or **Skipped** if it is bypassed.
    -   Updating the sanction status in the supplier record doesn't depend on the next step of user's approval/rejection.
5.  Approve or reject changes based on the validation result.

    **Note:** If approved, the Valid risk assessment field in the supplier record is set to True. If rejected, the Relationship status field in supplier record is set to Excluded.

6.  Select **Accept** to verify that the changes are made in other systems, if required.

7.  Notify the supplier by email.

8.  Close the case.
