This amendment transaction is used to change the conditions for an existing transfer L/C. Any change made to the contract is assigned a serial amendment number, and an amendment message is sent to all parties to the contract.
When amending a transferred Export L/C, the amendment transaction for the associated transfer is registered automatically. Auto-registration automatically picks up the amended data from the Export L/C and inserts it is the amendment transaction for the Transfer. If the contract details for the Transfer are different from those for the Export L/C, the user receives a warning to this effect at the start of the transaction.
Example: Notification is sent of an Export L/C with additional amounts. However, under the Transfer L/C no additional amounts were entered when the contract was created. If the Export L/C is now amended, an amendment is automatically registered for the Transfer L/C. If this auto-registration is launched, the flag for the additional amounts is set automatically - reflecting the presence of additional amounts in the Export L/C. But because no additional amounts are allowed under the Transfer, a warning message is issued at the same time. The user then has the option of either capturing any additional amounts or to process the contract without the additional amounts. In the latter case, only the “Additional Amounts” checkbox flag has to be unchecked.
For information about handling and presentation of amended fields, refer to Handling of Amendments.
