Full tracking for letter of credit procedures
NAMA supports all procedures of the letter of credit via a special file named LC action; where you can record the arrival of the insurance policy, shipment policy, promote actions, Customs Clearance, or even cancelling the letter of credit. Through recording these procedures, you can launch all reports to recognize the letter of credit status and all its details with the vendors or any official party.
Monitor the letter of credit Instantaneously
As soon as issuing the LC cost document, NAMA costs the items of the letter of credit and close it so as to prevent adding any additional costs. But waiting till receiving all shipments and recording all expenses in order to calculate the final cost seems illogical; especially the enterprise needs to sell the received goods and determines the prices according to the final cost; therefore, NAMA provides a mechanism to cost the received shipments instantaneously according to stock receipt and expenses documents. This technique allows user to have online information for the items costs according to received items and spent expenses.
Reverse expenses to reduce costs
The vendor sometimes returns some of goods value because of the lack of required quantity, or non-compliance of the agreed specifications. In these cases, you can record an expense for this cost but by negative value; therefore, the vendor will be credit rather than debit. Recording a negative value for the cost allows the enterprise to get any expenses back from the vendor. This is a good way rather than issuing adjustment entries or modifying the letter of credit data which consequently changes the financial statements.
