Availability

This report can be run daily, monthly or quarterly. This report lists the OFAC test results of payee names on the A/P Vendor File.

 

Purpose

The A/P Vendor File OFAC Match & Suspect Report lists any matches found when the payee names on the A/P Vendor Master records are compared with OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) names.

 

The payee name of a Vendor Master record is only 30 characters long, so the entire name is used in the OFAC search. A Soundex match is used on each word (name) in the field. The number of hits a name may get in OFAC is dependent upon the Proximity and Confidence levels that are set for you by GOLDPoint Systems in the report setup screen. The higher the Proximity, the more distant the words can be in the phrase. The Confidence level determines how much of the name must be present to match. The default levels are Proximity of 80 percent and Confidence of 70 percent.

GOLDPoint Systems Only: Misc Opts 1 is used to override the default Proximity level.

 

Misc Opts 2 is used to override the default Confidence and Variable Confidence levels.

 

Misc Parm is where the Proximity, Confidence and Variable Confidence levels are set. It must always be in the format P=XX, C=XX, V=XXXXXXXX, where XX = the percent level to set. The lower these levels are, the more hits you will get on the Soundex of the individual name. The percent should never be below 50. Recommended levels are between 60 and 80 percent.

 

The Variable Confidence levels are used only if Misc Opts 2 is set and the Confidence Level is zero, C=00.

 

The Variable Confidence level is tested according to the number of names in the OFAC name and the number of names in the Source (Payee Name). The default value indicates that if the OFAC name has two names, it must match two names in the Source (Payee Name).
