Transaction BRTLAT is used to enter the late payment of the equivalent document amount by debiting 

the account of the applicant. In rare cases it is possible that the issuing bank has to pay under 

the letter of credit while the applicant can not be debited at the same time (e.g. due to bankruptcy). 

The user then selects the option “Unpaid by applicant” in the settlement transaction Send, Accept and 

Settle Documents (BRTPAY) or Settle Usance Documents at Maturity (BRTSUS)) and as a result the debit

booking will be done on a separate (financing) account.

 

If it is possible later to debit the applicant with the documents amount, this transaction should be used.
