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.

 

This amendment transaction (LTTAME) 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.

 

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.
