Letter of credit (L/C) handling in ERP 6.0

Hi ...
currently we are facing some problems within the processes of L/C's.
In general it is working fine but I would like to have a better understanding concerning the following questions.
1. In the background there is the update of the S131 doc. payment guarantee ...but where can I find this information in the system ?
2. Is there a dedicated function/transaction available where I can see L/C value plan/actual ? In VX12n i can find this ... by L/C.
3. Normally the credit representative must have his information available like credit exposure + L/C values based on the ongoing processes. What is the recommend way of retrieving this information ?
I guess several other users having the same or similar questions. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Try VXA1, atleast it will help you to give the details of sales order already assigned with L/c.

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.

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.

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.

Finance documents - Letter of credit - sales order value than FD value?

Hi,
we are looking at this function of finance documents (ENLO, VN11n).
Scenario:
Sales Order value : 1 Mio USD
Finance Document value: 0.6 Mio USD
I want to create the FD document now fixed for the amount without specifiying an overdraft percentage (i.e. 100%).
Is it possible to cover this scenario?
Business reason:
We often have down-payments request issued at the beginning of the process and the amount might cover the gap. Or it is possible that credit limit of the customer covers the gap.
Thanks
Hein

Hi,
Yes, you can use the documentary payments functionality to cover a certain percentage of the sales document value. Balance will be considered for credit limit calculations. Check below link on how you need to configure this.

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.

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.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Friend,
I have created the LC document which can be assigned to Header/ Item Level of the sales document. System keep tracks the document value with the LC document. This LC document is of Static nature only.
My question was regarding revolving LC.
In revolving LC document, whenever customer pays the amount within the validity of LC document, system updates the available/open amount of LC document so that it can be utilized again.
