The definition of the 'Additional Amount' can be found in the DOKA-NG User Documentation. The additional amount is supported in the following DOKA business sectors:

• Export Letter of Credit (LE)
• Import Letter of Credit (LI)
• Reimbursement (RM)
• Transferable Letter of Credit (LT)
• Guarantee (GI)

The additional amount in DOKA is always available in the contract currency. If the additional amount is specified in another currency in the L/C, the user has to convert it to the contract currency.

In order to ensure a consistent handling of the additional amount, the module AAMP is linked to the business sectors mentioned above.

The transaction panel 'Additional Amount' is controlled via the checkbox 'Add. Amount', each located on the overview panel (xxxP) of the business sectors. If the checkbox is checked or the field 'Covered' is not empty, the panel 'Additional Amount' will be displayed.

The panel contains the following fields:

• 'Additional Amount' - currency and amount of the additional amount (The currency is defaulted out of the contract currency and is disabled.)
• 'Open Add. Amount' - currency and amount (both fields disabled)
• 'Covered' - text field according to SWIFT default (4* 35 characters). This field specifies any additional amount available under the selected contract (e.g. insurance premium, freight charges etc).

The panel 'Additional Amount' is displayed in the relevant Info transaction (INFxxx), if an additional amount is available for the selected contract.

In the transactions that create sub-contracts and in other transactions for advising documents or document payment there is an additional field (currency and amount) for the 'Drawn Additional Amount'. This field is only enabled, if the amount field for the additional amount of the main contract is not empty. The field is located on the panels below the document value.

• In those transactions that create a sub contract, the 'Drawn Additional Amount' is defaulted from the 'Open Additional Amount of Contract'. The amount can be changed by the user.

The amount (MAX2/OPN2) is required for Amounts/Liabilities to determine the total additional amount and how much is still available. There is an open amount for the additional amount, in order to check in sub-contracts, whether the documents are to be sent to payment authorization because the open additional amount has been exceeded.

For the internal Amounts/Liabilities and the liability bookings in the business sectors always the maximum amount is used ('the highest risk').

Example: Export L/C (analog for the other sectors)

L/C in the amount of EUR 100.000,00 (Nominal Amount) +/- 10 percent tolerance plus EUR 800,00 additional amount

In the liability EUR 110.800,00 (as INT, res. AVL) will be booked for this contract.

The following SWIFT incoming messages contain information about the additional amount:
