A new ArchLynk accelerator for SAP GTS, edition for SAP HANA is now listed on SAP Store — distinguishing genuine sanctions risk from background noise

SAN JOSE, CA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — ArchLynk has announced the availability of AI with SAP GTS E4H for Sanctioned Party List Screening False Hits Reduction on SAP® Store, the digital marketplace for SAP and partner solutions.

Screening against sanctioned party lists safeguards the business. However, eliminating incorrect matches consumes valuable resources. The vast majority of SPL hits are not actually restricted entities. Instead, they arise from partial name or address similarities: a frequently occurring last name, a matching street name, or a translated spelling variation. Yet each one still requires a trained compliance expert to open, evaluate, and record, while the associated order, delivery, or payment remains on hold, unable to proceed.

This accelerator learns from a company’s own past screening records and applies that pattern detection to new hits as they are generated by SAP GTS. Matches resembling false positives that a team has already reviewed numerous times are highlighted, along with the rationale behind the flag. Analysts can then focus their workload on the hits that genuinely need examination. This is part of the ArchLynk SPL offering that reduced false positives by 92 percent within eight weeks for a global agribusiness cooperative, shrinking their compliance team’s screening load from thousands of hits per cycle down to dozens.

The compliance team retains full authority

The accelerator does not take any action on its own. Instead, it ranks, explains, and prioritizes results. Every match retains its complete audit trail, each decision remains linked to a specific reviewer, and all existing SPL configuration and control parameters stay unchanged. The tool operates within the customer’s own infrastructure, handling business partner and document screening in SAP GTS E4H as well as non-SAP screening tools for organizations currently migrating or using a mixed environment. Screening data never exits the customer’s perimeter.

Quote

“Sanctions screening is meant to catch real threats. In reality, most of a compliance team’s time is spent clearing matches that were never a danger at all,” stated Dave Medd, CEO of ArchLynk. “We designed this to lift that burden. The AI filters out the noise, and the compliance expert makes the final decision. It’s about better decision-making tools, not reducing oversight.”

What it does

• Studies your own screening history to differentiate genuine threats from name-matching clutter
• Becomes more accurate with each decision your team processes
• Integrates with SAP GTS E4H business partner and document screening, plus non-SAP screening tools
• Operates within your own environment, ensuring screening data never leaves your perimeter
• Preserves the complete audit trail and requires human approval for every match
