Application

Perform conflict check

When opening a mandate, go to the Mandate Opening page with Conflict Check:

Arrange one or more Gegenparteien and click on the button Neuer Konfliktcheck. This creates the Conflict Checks subfolder:

When performing the conflict check, the following addresses of the case are taken into account:

  • Client
  • Honorary grade address
  • ordering party
  • Pre-allocated counterparties

Note: If the Additional Feature Invoice Splitting is activated and a case is assigned to honorary note recipients, an additional field with the corresponding addresses appears.

  • In the field Zusätzliche Adresse can be searched for any other address.
  • In the field Suchbegriff can enter a free text that is searched in addresses and interweavings.

The following options can be added:

  • Mutter/Tochter-Strukturen berücksichtigen: If this option is activated, the entire company network, consisting of all parent companies and their subsidiaries, is searched.
  • Kontakte berücksichtigen: If this option is activated, the company’s contacts are also searched for for each searched company. If a contact is searched, the company is also searched for.
  • Abgelehnte Mandate berücksichtigen: If this option is activated, rejected cases will also be considered. Otherwise, these cases will not appear in the result.

Now click on the button Konfliktcheck durchführen. Name and alias of the defined addresses as well as the fields interweavings and interweavings counterparties are searched on all (also inactive) cases. The actual search can only be performed exactly once per conflict check. If you want to search again, a new conflict check must be created. This will document each conflict check.
