OPR_DEF_TBL_OB

In order to perform the preliminary duplicate checking, you must enable duplicate checking at the system level, and at the template level, the type of identification number must be selected and set as a required entry. As soon as registrants add identifying information into the online system, Supplier Onboarding runs PeopleSoft Financial’s Duplicate Supplier Checking process and immediately alerts registrants when duplicates are found. The system offers the registrant several options for proceeding. After the registrant has saved and submitted the new registration request, the Financial Sanction Validation functionality checks OFAC so that this information is visible to approvers along with the registration request.

For more information, see Duplicate Supplier Checking.
