Letter Of Credit - Determination strategy

Hi Gurus
i am trying to Maintain Determination strategy from GTS area Menu-->Risk Management-->Letter of Credit Processing-->Maintain Determination strategy
I have create Legal regulation as Z1LOC and all other Configurations maintained
now i am getting error
No numbering scheme could be determined for legal regulation Z1LOC"
i dont see any Number range schema for LOC
Could you please let me know which setting i am missing
thanks
sarvan

Hi Sarvan,
For some reason, the system is trying to find a Numbering Scheme for Legal Control. The best workaround will be to make an entry in the control table without necessarily making any assignments,
In IMGpath (GTS 10.0):
Global Trade Services >
General Settings >
Numbering Schemes >
Assign Numbering Schemes to Legal Regulations of the Application Areas
Choose level: Assign Scheme for Numbers in Legal Control, and add an entry for your Legal Regulation Z1LOC. Hopefully that should sort it out.
Regards,
Dave

Letter of Credit functionality and Credit Management

Hi,
we want to use Letter of Credit functionality for exports.
Currently, we have an ERP system that contains the sales data. In a separate system we have the credit management functionality (Financial Supply Chain Mgt - FSCM).
When order is created, the credit limit is checked in the FSCM system (via PI messages).
Now, we want to link some of the Sales orders with Letter of Credit. I believe, this is standard functionality in GTS.
So when Sales Order is created a LOC should be connected to this.
Can the GTS be connected also to FSCM credit management, so credit limit is not affected?
Example:
Sales Order value: 1 Mio USD
10% down-payment > this would be in the credit exposure visible (net exposure).
90 % covered through LOC > credit exposure should showing this, or it shows order value and in a negative figure this amount deducted so no effect on exposure.
Down-payment has no relation to LOC. When money is received for this the net exposure of the sales order is 0.
partial invoice: 0.4 Mio USD > it should be possible to link this invoice to the LOC. The posting FI document should have some LOC information, so when payment comes in the amount in LOC is reduced as well as in credit management this open.
Final invoice 0.5 USD: as above, all values go out from exposure if there are any.
A second case would be guarantees, where there is no reduction of values. This would stay same.
Anyone who can advise a solution here?
Thanks + Regards
Hein

Letter Of Credit can be used as a standard solution of SAP GTS with ERP solution. Yes you can connect both SAP & no SAP systems with GTS, but plugins, PI etc needs to be built in. But it would not be real time like RFC works. There are some standard available which needs to be hard coded to meet specific requirements.
Connecting LOC to Sales Order, invoice etc, is manual, based on business specific parameters and it comes standard with SAP GTS. Maintaining Values & Quantity of LOC based on actual LOC from bank is also possible. The depreciation of values & quantities is also standard with in LOC in GTS.
You can also setup various communication methods for LOC.
I think when Invoice is raised and payment is received the LOC should be closed in the system. There can also be other scenarios where in system determines LOC based on predefined logics for determination strategy put in to the GTS system.

Letter of credit on Sales

Hello Guru's,
We have the following requirement:
In Perú, apart from the Invoice Document I need to give to the customer some Letter of Credits (LOC) that represent the 100% of the invoice value. The customer or bank will make the payment to us clearing the letter of credit, not the invoice. So I need to create a process that reverse the invoice and create n letter of credit assigned to the original invoice for the customer. Depending on the payment terms I can have 3 letters of credit for 1 invoice.
Example:
1.     Sales Order 1: Net value 900 USD (Payment terms 90 days)
This sales order must have assigned 3 letters of credit that sum the total sales order amount (900 USD):
a.     Letter of Credit 1: Net Value: 300 USD, payment terms 30 days
b.     Letter of Credit 2: Net Value: 300 USD, payment terms 60 days
c.     Letter of Credit 3: Net Value: 300 USD, payment terms 90 days
2.     Invoice 1 Net value 900 USD (Payment terms 90 days)
Accounting Document Invoice 1:
                        D           H
Customer Account       12XXXXX1                                 990
VAT              4XXXXXXX                90
Sales              7XXXXXXX                900
Actually the following documents are created automatically after invoice creation according to the Letter of credit parameters set in sales order. (This process is done in their actual legacy, not in SAP, we need to replicate the process in SAP)
Accounting document Letter of credit 1:
Letter of Credit account        12XXXXX2               330
Customer Account                12XXXXX1              330
Accounting document Letter of credit 2:
Letter of Credit account        12XXXXX2               330
Customer Account                12XXXXX1              330
Accounting document Letter of credit 3:
Letter of Credit account        12XXXXX2               330
Customer Account                12XXXXX1              330
To sum up: For this example the system must create 4 documents during invoice process.
A.      Invoice 1 for 990 USD
B.     Letter of Credit 1 for 330 USD
C.     Letter of Credit 2 for 330 USD
D.     Letter of Credit 3 for 330 USD
All the documents impression will be sent to the customer. They create Letter of Credits to replace the invoice because legally there are more secure for payment. The payment of the customer must clear the Letter of Credit (The Customer account of the invoice were cleared by the letter of credit)
What solution do you recommend for this requirement? I was thinking to develop a USER EXIT on accounting document invoice creation to create additional FI documents for the LOCs required.
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards,
Pablo

Hello Pablo,
I had the same situation in Chile. I had to make the procedure manually because:
- I could not determine with which Banks I was going to use for the LoC
- I don't know the amount to be paid in each LoC
- I don't know the payment terms for each LoC.
- The LoC currency was not always the same
If you solve these problems, may be a Z report which reads the Payment Method and a BAPI for GL document creation could help you, but its very complex.
Kind Regards

Letter of Credit Issue in Sale Order

Hi Gurus,
Please help me on this issue.
I have created a financial Document, Letter of credit with Terms of Payment xxxx, ie, due within 90 days.
But when I am creating a sale order and manually changing the Terms of Payment to yyyy, ie due within 30 days, the system is issuing a warning message and allowing to save the sale order.
I dont want to save the document if there is a change in the terms of payment from the LC document.
Is there any configuration setting where i can stop this.
Please help me on this issue.
Thanks,
Sam

Use of Letter of Credit in Sales cycle

Hi Guru's
Can any one send me or explain me of the letter of credit work process in SAP or sales cycle?
Please Suggest any documentation on it
thanx In advcnce.

HI Prashant,
here is the overview or payment cards
   1. When you create a sales order, you can enter credit card data manually, or copy it from the payer master record. You can enter one card in the sales order overview screen. You are able to enter multiple cards, or multiple authorizations on one card, in the payment card plan in the sales order header. The system automatically authorizes the sales order when you save it.
At a later time, you create the delivery. The authorization may have expired in the meantime, so the system checks to ensure that it is still valid. If the authorization is no longer valid, the system tells you to reinitiate authorization in the sales order. You complete and save the delivery. When all the items are picked, packed, and goods issue is posted,
you create a billing document. Here, payment card data is copied from the sales order, or uploaded directly into the billing document from an external system, as in the case of point of sale. The system uses the authorizations in the payment card plan to calculate billing amounts. You process the billing document and release it to Financial Accounting.
PAYMENT CARD MASTER DATA
To quickly and efficiently process sales orders with payment cards, you can store card data in the payer master record. When you create a sales order, you simply call up a list of cards for the customer using the matchcode on the payment card number field. The system automatically copies the card data into the sales order for the card or cards that you choose from this list.
The one-time customer record is a collective account, in the master record, for a group of unrelated customers. For this reason, you cannot maintain payment card data for one-time customers.
Features
You can enter the following card information in the payer master record:
Card type, for example VISA, MC, or AMEX
Card number
      The system checks the card numbers you enter to ensure that they correspond to the numbering standards of the relevant payment card company (for example, checking to make sure that a Visa card number begins with "4").This reduces the risk of having to go through a lengthy authorization process in the sales order with an incorrect card number.
      The system also checks to ensure that a payment card belongs to only one customer. You cannot enter one payment card in two different master records.
Expiration date
Cardholder or company name as it appears on the card
Card category, such as credit card, customer card, or purchasing card
Blocking reason
If required, you can block the payment card by entering a reason, for example 01 for "card stolen". You maintain blocking reasons in Customizing for payment cards in the Billing section of the IMG.
Note
A block is for a particular payment card only. If one of the customer's payment cards is blocked, he or she may use another.
Also, a block does not effect sales documents that have already been created with the card. You can, however, run a standard search to determine all documents in which the card number is used.
Card valid-from date
Default card
You can assign a default card if there is more than one card for a customer. When you call up a list of cards for the customer in the sales order, this card is highlighted.
Hope this will be helpful...
Request you to reward points if helpful.

Import Letter of credit

hi all,
       i would like to know whether import cycle is mapped into SAP or not, if so
       then how much it is present in SAP and how do we process the same ?
       along with that whether mode of payement - letter of credit in import proces is there in SAP?

Hai,
You can map the Import cycle in SAP. The standard business practices in SAP are
1. Create the Import pricing procedure with all necessary import conditions like customs duty, CVD, Landing cost, handling charges, Freight charges etc. Assign it to the schema group & inturn to Pur. organisation.
2.Create the import vendor master record.Assign the import schema group to this vendor. So that while creating import PO for this venor, the system will determine the import conditions.
3.Create the Import Po with Zero tax code & also with req Payment terms.
4.Enter the Customs vendor against the Customs & CVD conditions. Also maintain Freight vendor against freight conditions in the PO itself.
5.Do the MIRO for Customs vendor. Enter manually all the details in MIRO take the ref as a Bill of entry,
5.Do the MIGO for PO, Capture the excise & post the doc. As per Indian Govt Excise rule, you can take the credit of CVD as Excise.
6.Post the Excise doc.
7.Do the MIRO for material vendor.
8.Clear the Payment.

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.

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.

There are some reports to check the LC sales scenario: VXA1, VXA2 & VXA3

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
