BoE, drawback, EDPMS — all on one ledger.

Cross-border businesses run a parallel ledger to the GL: customs values, AD-bank EDPMS / IDPMS, FX exposure, drawback claims. Most ERPs ignore it. The bank doesn’t.

Process from PI to AD-bank closure. Perfection at landed cost, drawback file and EDPMS reconciliation. Productivity: cash cycle compresses, ITC cleaner, RBI deadlines never slip.

Today’s reality

Six frictions on every shipment.

BoE-to-PO reconciliation

Goods land. BoE filed. Quantity, HS code, value vary slightly from PO. Without auto-match, ITC and CIF landed cost stay approximate.

Landed cost drift

Customs duty, IGST, social welfare surcharge, clearing, freight, demurrage — piecewise added to GRN over 2–3 weeks. Stock value moves daily.

Duty drawback

Drawback rate per HS code. Claim file with SB + BoE + AD bank realisation. One missing document delays release by months.

EDPMS / IDPMS deadline

Export Data Processing & Monitoring System — AD bank waits 9 months for realisation. After 270 days, RBI penalty ladder activates.

FX exposure invisible

Receivables in USD, payables in EUR, advance booked at one rate, billed at another. Without exposure dashboard, hedging is reactive.

IGCR / EPCG / AA

Concessional schemes need parallel registers. Bond closure, export obligation, EPCG installation certificate — each on its own deadline ladder.

Where productivity leaks

Three systems for one cross-border deal.

ERPOperational core

HelpdeskClosure layer
