Letter of credit release with VXA3

Hello,
I have this scenario:
- Created a Letter of Credit with 100.000 EUR of amount;
- Assigned the letter of Credit to a Sales Order of 250.000 EUR of amount --> the Sales Order is blocked from credit control because the value of the Financial Document (Letter of Credit) is less than the SO value;
When I release the SO document blocked using VXA3, what behaviour should I expect? I thought that after the SO was released, the difference between the SO Value and the Financial Document value should be seen in FD33 among the open "Sales Value". Instead, I see the whole amount of the Sales Order (250.000 €) assigned to the Financial Document (even if it's value is 100.000 €). So I guess that releasing the Sales Order from VXA3 means that I accept that the whole amount of the Sales Order is covered by the Financial Document, even if it's value is lower.
Is this the standard behaviour, and can it be customized?
Thanks and best regards,
Andrea

Dear Amol Tamhane,
Have not worked on 'letter of credit'.
But if there is any accounting document which gets created due to letter of credit, then you can use the exit for credit management in SALES ORDER LEVEL and write the code to BLOCK THE SALES ORDER ONLY IF
(CREDIT LIMIT + LETTER OF CREDIT AMOUNT ) - (PREVIOUS EXPOSURE + SALES ORDER VALUE ) < 0
You can check BSEG, if accounting document gets created for 'letter of credit' or you can check any tables related to letter of credit based on customer code.

Hi Anjan
It is the aim of every credit policy to reduce the risk represented by customer receivables.
Along with Credit Management, several other Payment Guarantee Forms within the
business processes are explored. These include letters of credit and payment cards.
These payment guarantee forms differ in the level of security they can offer and are all
integrated within Risk Management.
When a payment guarantee is used (for example, a letter of credit), the system first tries to
provide the optimum in risk minimization. If this is not possible, then Credit Management in
a second step is used to create a credit limit and therefore restrict the level of risk.
Letters of credit are used predominantly for large -scale export transactions, whereas cre dit
while Cards are more important for Retail transactions.
You create a Letter of credit by using VX11 after creating that you assign that in billing tab of sales order in risk Management Financial doc number.
keep in mind the incoterms of Letter of Credit and Sales order should be same.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

How is the letter of credit captured today on Oracle, presumably OE?

Hi All,
This is published on shipment::released per shipset.
I would like to know if the data entry AND the database field for this are :
- data entry is custom or vanilla ?
- database field is custom or vanilla ?
In both cases, if vanilla, then:
- is this actually entered or held in a 'letter of credit'
field or is some other field being used
- is this entered in a specific field on screen or a Note ?
- is this held per customer or per order or per shipset ?
Thank you,
SM

Dear Jay,
We are also using letter of credit sale in our company but the LC payment is normal from accounting side when ever Accounts receive LC payment from the customer they will post it against customer account (Customer Code) and write the Text this payment against so and so LC and Commercial Invoice Number if you run FBL5N Report you can see this text.
There are some reports to check the LC sales scenario: VXA1, VXA2 & VXA3

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
Harsha

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.

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

Letter of Credit (Urgent )

Hi All,
I needed to know if anyone has worked on letter of credit or have dealt with payment gurantee procedure configuration.
Define and Assign forms of payment guarantee has 5 different configs. First one, Define payment guarantee schema - This part of this configuration controls the sequence in which system assign the sales document ITEMS to payment guarantee procedure. I want to know where actually we can see these sequences happening. I looked at the sales order (at the item level) but system is only picking payment guarantee procedure and form of payment gurantee. I don't see any sequecial order in which I set the config.
Any input will be great!
