SAP TRM - Letter of Credit - Financing

[vivekbb]

Hi,

I am trying to configure LC functionality in SAP TRM and have been successful to utilise the basic use cases. The process of Order -> Contract -> Settlement, with each presentation having its relevant impact is working.

However, I would like to seek guidance on how would the below scenarios be mapped and linked to relevant Export LCs.

• Avail a Pre-Shipment Finance - We need to avail finance without making any presentations under the LC. Currently, you can choose an underlying transaction within presentation functionality and link this with Fixed Term Deposit or Interest Rate Instrument. As an alternative, you can independently create a financial transaction but this isn’t be linked to the Export LC. What is an optimal solution for Pre Shipment Finance?
• Avail a Back to Back Facility - Based on structured financing, the bank has sanctioned a limit. Under this format, when an Export LC or an Insurance Backed Receivable is assigned to the bank, the bank permits utilisation on a percentage basis for import finance. How can this secured receivable have an impact on the facility, the available limit in the facility using SAP TRM?

Looking forward to ideas from the SAP community.
