The STP process creates an authorized or unauthorized amendment record based on the post upload status maintained in the ‘Upload Source Preferences’ screen. The system creates a new version of the import LC after amendment upload and triggers the ‘AMND’ event. If field 21 does not have the LC contract reference, the system will reject the record. If field 34B is present, the system will check for the following:
  • If field 32B is present, then the difference between the amount in 34B and the current LC amount should be equal to the amount in 32B.
  • If field 33B is present then the difference between the current LC amount and the amount in 34B should be equal to the amount in 33B.
  • The amount after amendment should not be less than availed amount.
  • The new expiry date should not be before system date.
  • The new amount after amendment amount should not be less than the outstanding amount.
