Materials Management: Letter Of Credit for Vendor in SAP ECC 6.0

Hello Experts,
We are in the process of implementing SAP GTM for our Client.
One of Our Prime requirement is to map Financial Document "Letter Of Credit" for the Vendor in case Imports. I found that Letter Of Credit can be created only for Customer in Sales/Foreign Trade but the same option is not available for Vendor.
Does sap support Letter Of Credit in MM-Imports or in Finance for Vendors?
Thanks & Regards,

Hello Debasis,
Post EPC installation,you need to perform configuration of EPC through portal.You can see it listed under configuration--> configuration scenarios-->EPC.
During configuration you will be asked to define path of you primavera installation and a user on that system with sufficient permissions. This user is called APS user.
Try to do a mock configuration run on sandbox/dev system and then you can follow the guide.

Letter of Credit charges

Dear colleagues:
We are about to implement the u201CRisk Management u2013 Letter of Credit Processingu201D functionality (from the importeru2019s view). As an importer we need to assign some other charges to the LC (e.g. custom expenses), with various due dates. These expenses should update cash management. I suppose this connection between LC and other expenses must occur in the purchase order. If yes, please inform me how we implement it. If no, please inform me with the correct solution. We use version ECC 6.0
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I beleive that, the Letter of Credit Processing is out of SAP Scope as of now.
All LC Charges you have to post manually or Z Object / Customiged Object to be developed for tracking the LC Expences and those values to be used for manual FI JV.

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

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.

Letter of Credit Updation

Hi,
I have an issue with Letter of Credit. I have created an LC using financial document and processed the order and PGI is done. Now the LC value is not getting updated. Even if the order value is greater than the LC value it is getting processed without any warning message.
Can anyone help me out in resolving this issue. I m working in ECC 6.
Thanks and regards,
Surya

Hi,
Whether the Credit Management settings are configured or not, the Risk Management settings shall be working.
Pl check:
1. In Financial document controls (in SPRO) , you have maintained the TICK MARKS against say, value / incoterms / other parameters that need to be checked
2. The assignment of Procedure to a combination of Sales order type / customer
3. Ensure that the procedure is assigned in the Payer master record
4. Check when you create a Sales order, the procedure is defaulted automatically. You can maintain this manually also.
5. You can maintain the procedure at the Header / item level
6. Once the procedure & the Financial document number is assigned, press "financial doc" button to check the results.
Hope this helps. Pl let me know if you still face issues.
thanks & regds

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.
Best regards.
