2 Export LC Amendment - Islamic

This chapter is documented to get familiar with the Export LC Amendment - Islamic process of Oracle Banking Trade Finance Process Management Cloud Service.

Conventional Export LC Amendment process enables the user to make an amendment to the LC which had been already advised.

The common amendments that are made to an Export LC are:
  • Expiry date
  • Latest Shipment Date
  • Increase/Decrease in LC amount
  • Tolerance percentage
  • Confirmation instruction
  • Available with bank
  • Port of loading/discharge & Goods quantity
  • Related documents to be submitted
  • The amendments may need consent from the beneficiary of the amendment. In such scenarios, after the processing of amendment, the amended LC is parked awaiting beneficiary consent.
The various stages involved for Islamic Export LC Amendment are:
  • Receive and verify documents (Non Online Channel)- Registration stage
  • Input amendment application details
  • Upload of related mandatory and non-mandatory documents
  • Verify /capture details (SWIFT MT707, 708/Non Online Channels)- Scrutiny stage
  • Input/Modify details of amendment of LC - Data Enrichment stage
  • Check for limit availability if applicable
  • Check balance availability for amount block
  • Check for sanctions & KYC status
  • Earmark limits/Create amount block for cash margin/charges if applicable
  • Capture remarks for other users to check and act
  • Hand off request to back office
Following is the validation while amending the LC:
  1. While Amending Export LC by decreasing the value, system checks if there is any underlying active Transfer LC, with substitution flag value as 'yes'. If so, system displays an override message. "Transfer LC with substitution available. Check before proceeding."
  2. While Amending Export LC by decreasing the value, and if Beneficiary consent is required.
  • System validates that the decrease in LC amount, including tolerance is not greater than the Available balance in Export LC. If validation fails, system displays an override message to user.
  • User can do confirmation of Amendment in Parent LC for decrease in LC amount, once Balance is available in Export LC. If balance is not available, system displays an error message.
  1. While Amending Export LC by decreasing the value, and if Beneficiary consent is not required.
