 ## See each export credit beside the order, invoice and delivery it governs ERPNext manages sales orders, invoices, deliveries and accounting. Export LC adds the documentary-credit record between those steps, helping export teams keep commercial terms, bank fields and utilization in the same workflow rather than rebuilding the position in spreadsheets and files. > **Scope:** Export LC records and maps LC data inside ERPNext. It does not connect to a bank, transmit SWIFT messages or replace bank approval and document-checking procedures. ## Export LC workflow at a glance ```text Sales Order │ ▼ Export Proforma Invoice │ ▼ Export LC ├────────► Sales Invoice (Commercial Invoice) └────────► Delivery Note │ ▼ Utilization and LC status recalculated ``` ## What teams can do | Task | How Export LC helps | | --- | --- | | Start from approved sales data | Create an **Export Proforma Invoice** from a Sales Order and carry forward items, currency and commercial details. | | Maintain the documentary credit | Record the Export LC with applicant, beneficiary, issuing and beneficiary bank, value, dates, tolerance and shipment/document terms. | | Create commercial documents | Create a Sales Invoice (commercial invoice) or Delivery Note from the Export LC without re-entering the transaction. | | Monitor drawdown | Calculate utilization from submitted Sales Invoices linked to the Export LC. | | Read lifecycle status | Use Draft, Active, Partially Utilized, Fully Utilized, Expired and Cancelled states to identify the next action. | | Review activity visually | Use the Export LC workspace, shortcuts and status chart for a faster operational view. | The form also contains a selectable `Closed` status for manual use; the automatic status calculation does not assign it. ## Familiar MT700-aligned fields The Export LC form includes commonly used documentary-credit fields such as reference number (F20), issue and expiry dates (F31C/F31D), credit form (F40A/F40E), applicant and beneficiary (F50/F59), tolerance (F39A), partial shipment and transshipment (F43P/F43T), latest shipment date (F44C), goods and documents (F45A/F46A), additional conditions (F47A), charges (F71D) and instructions (F78). These fields help structure LC information; they do not claim automatic SWIFT MT700 generation or transmission. ## Product screenshots | Export Proforma Invoice | Export LC record | | --- | --- | |  |  | ## Export or import—which app do you need?

Businesses—including ready-made garment exporters using back-to-back LCs—can install both apps to manage each direction. In the current `version-16` repositories, the apps manage their respective workflows; they do not automatically create a master export LC/back-to-back import LC relationship across apps. ## Installation > ### Frappe Cloud > > **The simplest setup for managed installations.** > > [**Install Export LC from the Marketplace →**](https://cloud.frappe.io/marketplace/apps/export_lc) ### Self-hosted bench Use an existing Frappe/ERPNext v16 bench: ```bash bench get-app https://github.com/invento-software-limited/export-lc.git --branch version-16 bench --site your-site.example install-app export_lc bench --site your-site.example migrate bench build --app export_lc ``` After installation, open **Export LC** from the ERPNext app switcher. Setting up a new bench or site? Start with the [official Frappe installation guide](https://frappeframework.com/docs/user/en/installation). ### Compatibility - **Frappe and ERPNext:** v16 (`>=16.0.0-dev, <17.0.0-dev`) - **Runtime:** Python 3.10 or newer · **App branch:** `version-16` The repository also has a `develop` branch for active development; production v16 installations should use `version-16`. ## Documentation and support [**Read the user guide →**](docs/user_guide.md) · [**View the product overview →**](docs/product_overview.md) · [**Browse all documentation →**](https://invento-software-limited.github.io/export-lc/) Need help?
