Letter of Credit Amendaments

Hi Experts ,
Can any one have good knowledge amendments of Letter of credit.
Can briefly explain what are amendments and in which case we use amendments.

HI
When you give LC to your suppliers, you need to transfer to Special GL Indicator "W" till you make the payment to your bank as per the due date
of the terms through T Code F-40 and when you make the payment to bank or when your bank debits your account make the payment through F-53 with special indicator "W", which will reverse your LC liability.
As far as I know LC is handled as workaround through Bills of Exchange.
In case if you make advance LC payment do the transaction through F-48 and repeat the F-53 to retire your LC liability.
I request you other forum members also to contribute and concur my approach.

Letter of Credit for Vendor Payments

Hi All,
We are implementing ECC 6.0 Version.
The client requirement is to create Letter of Credit for Vendors and to capture data relating issue of Letter of Credit, Terms of Payment and Expirition Date. Against a Single Letter of Credit issued to a vendor client may receive more than one Invoice till the Expiry period of the Letter of Credit and Value. Further, client may also amend the Old Letter of Credit by extending the validity period or the value of the LC.
I know that we can create letter of credit through Special GL indicator 'L'. But it is one Letter of Credit to One invoice for clearing. How to map one letter of credit to multiple invoices and how we can capture expirition date of LC.
Further same vendor can have multiple LC opened against them for different projects. Please let me know detailed configuration steps.
Best Regards,
Bhargav.

Hi,
Sorry i guess my question is not clear. It is not to link any LC with PO
The client will raise a single LC against any import vendor. Since these are large CAPEX related purchases, the vendor will send multiple invoices. The bank will adjust the LC against the invoices. Post adjustment the bank will send th advice to the company.
My question was how we can adjust multiple invoices against a single LC

Tracking of due dates in case of letter of credit and bank guarantee

Hi
In case of letter of credit and bank guarantee can a track be kept in sap for bill negotiated and due (means the vendor has claimed payment but payment from us to our bank is not due) ,
negotiated and due(means our payment is due)
and bills negotiated and overdue (means payment from our side to our bank is overdue)
how is it possible plz explain in detail as i have never worked ob LC and BG.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks for the answer I will try to explain my requirement .
In case of import and exports Letter of credit and bank guarantee are opened with the bank. There can be amendments also after its creation in terms , amount or validity period. Then it is negotiated and retired.
An example : A letter of credit is opened on 1st Jan. The goods are shipped on 7th Jan .Credit term given by our bank (in case of import) is 1 month which is counted from the shipment date and it expires on 7th feb. The vendor negotiates the bill on 15th jan.
The requirement is to get a report of u2018negotiated and dueu2019 and u2018negotiated and overdueu2019category.
Like from 15th Jan to 7th Feb the bill negotiated by the vendor comes under u2018negotiated and dueu2019 category and after that it comes under u2018negotiated and overdueu2019category.
List of letter of credits established , negotiated , retired and balance if any.
Letter of credit wise u2013 Bank charges paid. i.e at the time of opening , amendment , negotiation and retirement.
Same in case of bank guarantee also.
Plz explain me how can this be tracked and how to configure this.

Payment by letter of Credit against Purchase order

When we are purchasing from Foreign Vendors , we need to open a Letter
of credit (LC) .
Depending on the terms of Purchase order , Vendor will discount it /get
payment from Bank on submitting LC and other necessary documents.
Vendor's Bank, at appropriate Time will send the same to Customer's Bank
How to mapped this scenario in SAP-MM and FI .
Activities required to be updated against Purchase order :
(1) Payment Terms : 100 % against LC on delivery
(2) History should reflect LC opened - Date and Bank Name which
Vendor has suggested, our company's Bank Name
(3) LC discounted details
(4) LC payment due date to our company Bank - as Procurement needs
to inform to Finance for this.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Shipment is to be blocked if Letter of credit date has expired

Shipment must be blocked (provision for Delivery order reversal) if Letter of credit Last Date of Shipment is expired:
Example as follow: - SO 100002703 item 10 - The LC with financial doc 1062 - The last shipping date of Finance.doc 1062 is 30.09.2011 - If user create new Delivery doc at 01.10.2011 ? system should throw error message - If user post Shipment doc at 01.10.2011 ? system should throw error message The validation should be applied for both initial shipment processing or replacement for return.

How to deal with Letter of Credit in Oracle Payables ??

In case of letter of credit, an 100% advance payment is done to bank, Bank charges its commission,
The letter of credit is for goods imported which is part of inventory. As standard practices of finance, exchange gain/loss and expenses incurred to bring the inventory to its present location and conditions should form part of inventory cost.
This cost are not known at the time of PO, so only purchase price is ascertain.
How to track custom duty paid, insurance, freight, and cargo handling expenses incurred on material.
All this cost should be charged to item and according unit cost should be adjusted.

Well, when are these other costs known? Perhaps you do not know them until you get the invoice from the supplier? Are you then doing match to invoice (either match to PO or match to receipt?)? What version of EBS are you on? My initial off the top of my head though is that when you match the invoice to receipt, the quantity amount should match, but the cost amount would be higher, by the amount of these extra costs. So you would have to be sure you don't have any match tolerance that would prevent such a match. That would get the entire cost charged to inventory, and the unit cost on that invoice is Cost Amount / Quantity. Without knowing anything about your inventory setup, not sure how that would impact you.
Of course, if any of my assumptions are wrong, then my thinking will be wrong. Thus would be helpful to supply additional information about your situation.

How to track Letter of credit in FI Module.

Dear Gurus,
(Exports scenarios)
I have configured letter of credit for customer's export scenario. At end user level we are creating letter for credit using VX11N. Once the letter of credit is created, we link it to the sales order at header level in billing document tab - financial document field.
I would like to know how can we track this letter of credit in FI module? For example if we receive payment from the bank against letter of credit which is linked to sales order then how will we be able to track that letter of credit while entering the customer payment in FI module.
Also help me understand whether I am posting it to right forum, as I am posting the question for the first time here.
Please advice. Thank you.

Revolving Letter of Credit - SD.

Hi Friends,
we have a requirement to implement Revolving Letter of Credit, where if a Payment is made for the particular customer it's value should be added to the existing open LC value .
we tested everything with Static LC and every thing is working fine. but now we have to implement revolving LC
Example.
LC duration is 1 JAN to 31 JAN
Initial LC Value = Rs. 1000
order raised = Rs. 800
LC Open value = Rs . 200
so if the customer makes payment for Rs. 300
the open LC value should be Rs. 200(Earlier open LC value) + 300(payment) = Rs. 500
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Kindly consider that when defining the indicators for special G/L transactions, you should define in each case whether the transaction in question is relevant for the credit limit check.

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

Credit Check againt letter of credit.

hi,
This is regarding credit check of sales order against FD. If the letter of credit belongs to company 001 and sales order contains any line items materials other than company 001. It gives an error EI574 "Financial Doc data check result not ok". Is there any way to do credit check ignoring company? I mean financial document will be in one company but sales order items can be from multiple company. Please share your expertise.

Hi Achuthanandan,
if the credit control area is assigned at company code level then this error will appear
if the credit control area is assigned at the sales area level then this error will not come

Letter of credit check status not correct in VL01N

Hi, Gurus,
I activate both credit management and documentary payment. When I try to create delivery-VL01N with reference to a sales order, i assign an financial document with 100% depreciation. Suppse deliver amount exceeds this financial document, system should issue message and block this delivery. However, there were no such message and credit status is "A" when saving delivery.
In Vl02N, not changing any data, system issue the message showing that
the financial document value is exceeded, and delivery is blocked when I save the delivery.
I checked my configuration, and cannot think of anything related to this.
After debug, I found out that the reason is that SAP get delivery value from table S131, field OLIKW and compare it with financial document open value. However, S131-LOIKW is 0 when I create the delivery. After delivery is created, S131-OLIKW value is corect. Therefore, when i change delivery and try to save before exit, system will issue the message.
Does anyone know anything might be related to this weird issue?
Thanks,
Cicely

Hi Gopala,
The accounting document has already been released &accounting doc has been created. But the value of Financial Doc i.e Letter of Credit remains same.

Letter Of Credit During Export sales

Hellos Experts,
                         This is neo, I work for the client were they have export sales so they have the Letter Of Credit during the process. Now the scenario is that.
I know some thing like I did the configuration setting for this In IMG (Foreign trade and customs >> Documentary payments) every thing is 5n. and the process which i fallow is
va01
vx11n
vl01n-PGI also
VF01
VF02-release to accounting.
when i am doing the sales order in the line item i am entering the LC num:":82" and saved the document. After this when i see the VX12N the 82 number then the lc value is decreased. after the completing of delivery and invoice and release also when im going to check the value of LC 82 is reamins same.
here my qutions are:
1) how to do the export sales process with LC
2)the process which i fallow is correct or wrong
3) what is the use of
     a) VKM3
     b) VKm5
     c) VXA3
4) if during this process do i need to release the document using any special transaction codes
5) The Main can I use Single LC to Multiple sales Orders.
thanks and regards,
Neo

Dear indrajit
run VX11N and maintain the L/C details there and once saved, a reference number will be generated. Go to sale order, select at Header tab Billing and assign this reference in the field Financial doc no
