Plumbline: OFAC SDN sanctions screening, SEC financials and company checks from public registries

Answer a proposed remedy — Accept or decline a remedy the business proposed on a placed order (inspect_offer thread.fulfilment.remedies with state PROPOSED). Recorded for the business, which applies it and shows the result there. Accepting a credit or refund here moves no money; the business records it when its payment processor does.

Propose changes to an offer — Propose a change to an issued offer on its inspected terms: other quantities (by item index in terms.items), another list of companies (where the items price companies), a delivery date, a total price for the whole, a payment plan, or a note. It is a proposal, not a change: the terms stand and can still be accepted as they are. The business answers it in inspect_offer thread.counteroffers, with a revised offer to inspect and accept, or a reason. A later proposal replaces an earlier one still awaiting an answer. Nothing here orders or pays.

Read the order draft — Read a Plumbline order draft as it stands: its fields and companies (with their keys), what it still needs before it can be sent, the indicative price, what changed since it was sent, the firm offer with its terms hash, the order, payment and report state, recent changes by the buyer in the app or by you, and what can happen next. Read it before acting on what the buyer says about the order: they may have changed it in the app.

Identify a company (LEI and SEC filer) — Which legal entities a company name may mean: GLEIF LEI records that match it (legal name, country, city, status) and, for a company listed in the US, its SEC filer CIK. For choosing the exact entity to verify before ordering; these are candidates, not findings. Free.

Record a delivery inspection — Record the buyer's inspection of a placed order: for each item (its index in terms.items) the quantity accepted and the quantity rejected, with a reason for a rejection, optionally for one portion of the order. Whether it was accepted is computed: only when nothing is rejected. Recorded for the business, which answers a rejection in inspect_offer thread.fulfilment, with a proposed remedy. Nothing here pays or refunds.

Report vendor approval status — Report the seller's vendor standing with the buyer's organization (APPROVED, DOCUMENTS_REQUESTED or REJECTED) with the buyer's approval or case reference and any documents requested. Recorded as the buyer's own statement; the business answers it in inspect_offer thread.purchasing.

Send the order draft as a request — Send a Plumbline order draft once the buyer has said to: the first send records the request (the firm offer with its exact price and terms hash is emailed to the buyer and appears in the app when ready; promise no time); a later send of a changed list records a revision of the same request and declines the offer for the earlier list as replaced. Name the revision the buyer saw: a draft that changed since is not sent. Needs the buyer's email on the first send (where the offer and receipt go). This places no order: the buyer accepts the firm offer separately.

State the buyer's purchasing requirements — Tell the business how the buyer's purchasing works for this offer: whether the seller must be an approved vendor, whether a purchase order is required, which documents are needed, the seller's vendor id with the buyer, where orders and invoices go, and the payment terms. Recorded as the buyer's statement; the business answers it in inspect_offer thread.purchasing. Nothing here orders or pays.

Send a purchase order — Send the buyer's purchase order for an issued offer or a placed order: number, revision, lines, total, currency and payment terms. It is matched against the accepted terms; differences are recorded and shown in inspect_offer thread.purchasing as exceptions, never silently accepted. A changed purchase order is the same number with a higher revision. This does not accept the offer and pays nothing.

Change the order draft — Change a Plumbline order draft the way the buyer asked: add, update, remove or replace companies (name an item by its key from the draft, or by match on its name), or clear the list (item fields: name (the company's name as the buyer has it, or its exact legal name); country (ISO 3166 two-letter code; narrows the LEI search by name); lei (20-character Legal Entity Identifier; the report then reads that exact record); cik (SEC Central Index Key; adds the SEC EDGAR registration (EDGAR is not searched by name))). The app in the conversation shows the change at once. A placed order is never chang…

Verify suppliers with Plumbline — Open Plumbline's supplier verification workspace in the conversation, with the companies the buyer named. It starts an order draft the buyer and you work on together: they can add, correct and identify companies in the app, and you change the same draft with update_order_draft when they ask in words ("add Microsoft", "replace Apple with Nvidia"); both of you see the same list and price. The report screens each company against the US Treasury OFAC SDN list, reads its GLEIF LEI record and, where a CIK is given, its SEC EDGAR registration; every finding names its source and time, and the report …

inspect offer — Read the exact authorized terms, terms hash, order state and processor payment links. Use the offer link credentials, or credentials of the request explicitly linked to this offer.

release payment — Confirm a payment condition only where the inspected order allows the customer to release it. This records approval; it does not pay the processor.

request status — Resume a requirement using the receipt credentials. Read the recorded requirement and any linked offers. Contact details are kept apart.

Company registration lookup (LEI and SEC) — LEI records and SEC EDGAR registration for a company. Paid per call over HTTP with x402 ($0.02); this tool returns how to call it.
