Practical Guide to SAP GTS: Part 1: SPL Screening and Compliance Management

As described.

If you're interested in global trade management (GTM) systems, this is definitely a book you'll want to check out. Compared to most technical books, this one is written in a style which is much more conversational, and so it's quite easy to read. I read through it in a weekend without getting bored or bogged down in excessive technical detail. This book focuses on sanctioned party list (SPL) screening and import/export licensing, which are two critical areas for ensuring a compliant supply chain. There are two things about this book which I particularly like. Firstly, when they review the technical settings for the GTS product, they provide useful guidance for when you might want to configure the product one way versus the other. I've seen many SAP books where they have pages and pages of screen shots of the settings, but make no effort to tell you what the settings affect, or which ones you might want to avoid or use only in unique circumstances. Secondly, there is a lot of great practical advice on how to implement robust SPL and licensing business processes in concert with the GTS product. This information is applicable even if your company is using a tool other than SAP GTS. The tips and advice are mixed in well with screen shots from GTS, and with references to external sources such as government web sites where you can find additional information. For instance, there's a section mapping out a robust approach for analyzing and reviewing an address that GTS has blocked against an SPL entity, including links to OFAC, BIS, and other organizations that manage these lists. Since my background is in IT (and not Trade Compliance) I found this aspect of the book particularly valuable. Whether you're looking for specific insight on SAP GTS or a more general background on what global trade management software is all about, I'd definitely recommend this book.

Rajen Iyer of Krypt Consulting and Kevin Riddell of Tremco do an excellent job of simplifying the Compliance Module of SAP's Global Trade Services (GTS). This is a very practical book that explains many of the complex topics involved in managing your Trade Compliance program with GTS. This book is very thorough and is very easy to read. The subjects covered in the book are very applicable. I also found the list of various Sanction Party List and a list of compliance websites in the appendix very helpful. I highly recommend this book for those who are just getting started with GTS as well as those who have been working with it for awhile. Very good book!

A must read for any GTS project team member or a new GTS user. The book explains how GTS works in user friendly terms without getting the reader lost in technical details.

It doesn't have full specifications and steps to customising. This is meant for beginners and is of little use to someone already working in this area.
