Via this Performa invoice, user can enter the purchased items, their quantities, prices, specifications, ..and so on. Through this invoice, you can also define the payment method and the details of payments to be paid to the vendor. Through the expense document, you can record all expenses of the letter of credit in order to be distributed on the purchased items.

Monitor the letter of credit Instantaneously
As soon as issuing the LC cost document, AKAR-ERP 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, AKAR-ERP 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 a 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.
