 ## See every import credit in the same system as purchasing and accounts ERPNext manages purchase orders, receipts, invoices and accounting. Import LC adds the documentary-credit record between those steps, so teams can keep commercial terms, bank fields and landed-cost inputs together instead of rebuilding the same information across spreadsheets and files. > **Scope:** Import 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. ## Import LC workflow at a glance ```text Purchase Order │ ▼ Import Proforma Invoice │ ▼ Import LC ─────► Journal Entry for LC margin or expense │ ├────────► Purchase Invoice └────────► Purchase Receipt ─────► Landed Cost Voucher ``` ## What teams can do | Task | How Import LC helps | | --- | --- | | Start from approved purchasing data | Create an **Import Proforma Invoice** from a Purchase Order and carry forward items, currency and commercial details. | | Maintain the documentary credit | Record the Import LC with applicant, beneficiary, bank, value, dates, tolerance and shipment/document terms. | | Post finance entries | Prepare Journal Entries for LC margin and LC-related expenses from the Import LC. | | Continue procurement | Create a Purchase Invoice or Purchase Receipt from the Import LC instead of re-entering the transaction. | | Build landed cost | Create a Landed Cost Voucher using submitted Purchase Receipts plus freight, insurance and LC-related charges. | | Review activity visually | Use the Import LC workspace, shortcuts and progress chart for a faster operational view. | ## Familiar MT700-aligned fields The Import 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 | Import Proforma Invoice | Import LC record | | --- | --- | |  |  | ## Import or export—which app do you need?

Use case	Choose this app
You open an LC to buy goods, materials or machinery from a supplier	Import LC THIS REPOSITORY
A buyer opens an LC in your favour and you ship against it	Explore Export LC →

Businesses that handle both directions can install both apps. 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 Import LC from the Marketplace →**](https://cloud.frappe.io/marketplace/apps/import_lc) ### Self-hosted bench Use an existing Frappe/ERPNext v16 bench: ```bash bench get-app https://github.com/invento-software-limited/import-lc.git --branch version-16 bench --site your-site.example install-app import_lc bench --site your-site.example migrate bench build --app import_lc ``` After installation, open **Import LC** from the ERPNext app switcher.
