Letter of Credit mapping in SAP R/3

Hi all,
Scenario is:
Import PO is raised to a vendor
Based on the PO Letter of Credit is issued to the vendor for partial quantity.
Based on the Letter of Credit, the vendor will supply the goods for which the L/C is opened.
Then the Customs duty is paid and GR is done.
How to map this scenario in SAP?  How to map the L/C in SAP.  How to create link between L/C, PO, GR & customs duty.
Please give your inputs.
Regards,
Velumani

Hi,
After the PO has been created in SAP, from the finance side, they will post LC the functionality is similar to bill of exchange or as a noted item. While posting the transaction, in the reference field PO number will be maintained.
Once the Goods are received at port.
Customs duties has to be paid, for this you have to post an invoice through tcode: MIRO for the customs clearing agent with reference to your PO(For customs duties you have to maintain appropriate condition types in PO and against these condition types, custom clearing agents number(vendor number) has to be maintained. All these condition types are to be created with condition category 'delivery costs').
For imports PO -- GR based-IV should not be checked becoz before receiving the goods you have to clear the custom duties.
Then once the goods are received you will post the GR and the you will post the invoice for the material vendor.
Then from the finance side, they will clear, whenever they post the clearing transaction to the vendor, LC realted transaction gets reversed automatically. Bank account will be -ve and your vendor account will be +ve.
Note: Tracking of LC has to be done manually as the functionality is not complete in SAP.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks,
Viswanath

  • Letter of Credit Facility in SAP

    Dear All
    My client has a requirement of mapping the Letter of Credit facility in SAP. Their reqmt is that based on the project or contract they will get a LC availability, then after using the LC , they need a report to show, how much is the available facility, used LC and the balance per bank. I hope this can be done in treasury Mgmt. Plz let me know the config aswel for this and the difficulty in on config this.
    Regards
    Rajaram

    Hi Rajaram,
    There is no default product type for LC in TRM. ALways you can map the functionality to available product categories in Money Market area under Product Category - 550 or so and can have a integration with Facility product where you can monitor the available/used fund status.
    You need to configure both Product types in Money Market area of TRM.

  • Cardon credit mapping in SAP

    Hello Mates,
    Has anyone done carbon credit mapping in SAP?
    Could I be provided some information on carbon credit in power generation?
    Look forward.
    Thanks,
    Akash

    Hello Akash
    There are two aspects of carbon demand - i) one required for Kyoto protocol ii) Getting voluntary carbon credits for CSR.
    For meetign Kyoto Protocol - SAP offers jointly with TechniData the solution Environmental Compliance - which is used to collect and aggregate environmental measurements to establish the environmental footprint of a plant as a whole for example Power Generation.
    For Carbon Foot Print in Supply Chain - SAP is working on a product called Green 2.0 which can give you environmental footprint  ie.  the footprint caused by an enterprise and the one  caused by the supply chain.
    As far as your post is concerned i.e., for getting carbon demand for Power Plant - as a whole I suggest using SAP Environmental Compliance to map the process, to calculate the material consumption and calculation of emissions based on material consumption data and finally creating reports for GHG reporting.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Letter of  Credit management in SAP Business one

    Hi All,
    One of our customer wants to manage the "Letter of Credit" used in exporting their product to different countries. They need to record it, discount it from bank, record bank charges and close it when their customer repays the amount. Also need to reconcile it through bank reconciliation. Is there any solution available (as an add-on or work around)?
    Thanks and regards
    Ajith G.

    Hi  Peter,
    We are using India localization and the Bill of exchange is not available in that. But after reviewing the functionality, we found that it is a very good workaround solution for our customer.  Now my question is whether this facility will be added for India localization in the next version of SAP Business One?
    In addition to that we are discussing with another prospect who is actually doing cross-border trade. He is satisfied with all other aspects of Business one. Only problem is that he wants to generate all documentations related to his trade to be generated from Business one. Is this possible or any add-on available?

    thanks in advance.
    SK

    Dear,
    no matter process will be same,
    1. Create Special GL for vendor with Note Item selected in its proporties in transction FBKP.
    2. Use transaction F-57 and post entry with this special GL.
    Lettter of Credit is only for information so they will not update any balance in the vendor account.

  • How to configure letter of credit in SAP

    hi all,
       how to configure letter of credits (LOC) in sap.
    regards
    srinivas

    Hi,
    Letter of Credit / Bank Guarantee are noted items in SAP.  There is no effect in the books of accounts for these items.  You have to create seperate Spl G/L Indicator for LOC and assign the same to normal reconciliation account of Vendors / Customers as per your requirement. For creating this go to 'OBXT' and the necessary configuration.  To create LOC in SAP Easy Access goto F-55 and process the transaction.

  • Re: Letter of Credit - Imports

    Hello,
    I want to map the process of letter of credit in case of imports in SAP.
    What the process is, we are making an import PO. Bank opens LC in equal to the invoice amount. We have to pay margin money i.e 25percent of invoice amount to the bank, in turn, bank opens the LC of 75percent of invoice amount. We are capturing the payment of margin money at 25percent in SAP.
    The point is, bank is giving the facility of 75percent for 90 days. I dont know how to map this scenario in SAP?

  • Financial documents/ Letter of Credit and down-payment

    Hi,
    I try to map requirements from business against solution in SAP.
    There is a scenario as follows, where part of the sales order is covered through down-payment. This should be exempted from Letter of credit value.
    Example
    Sales Order value 1 Mio USD
    Down-payment 0.2 Mio USD  > paid immediately after sending out the request invoice (request is generated in SD from Sales order). Until payment, this would remain as the net exposure in the system.
    LOC value should be only >> 0.8 Mio USD <<   
    Is there a solution in SAP to this? What would need to happen to enable this?
    Cheers
    Hein

    Hello Hein
    Well, for your requirement you have to go development.
    For this you can use No credit check in TCode OVA8 for Define Automatic Credit Control for your desired combination of Credit control area, Risk class & Credit group.
    Where you have to write a requirement with help of ABAPer.
    OR
    You can take assistance of FI guy and looking to define Reconciliation Accts Without Credit Management Update
    Where In this IMG activity, you can cancel the credit management update function for certain postings by posting to an additional reconciliation account; the reconciliation account without credit management update.
    When you make postings to the standard reconciliation account, the receivables total within credit management is then updated, but those postings made to the reconciliation account without credit management update are not.
    In Japan, various receivables that are considered certain to be received are excluded from credit management update, including:
    - Active prepaid/deferred items
    - Payments by letter of credit
    Hope this can assist you.
    Thanks & Regards
