There are several cases or conditions can not be avoided that will taking effect to any discrepancy happened. As we may be known that shipping document that is presented to bank must be in clear condition to make issuing bank doesn't have any reason not to pay to us based on presented documents to them through advising bank.
If the bank found any discrepancy, bank does not has an obligation to release the payment. So that keeping all presented document in all clean is the important thing to keep in mind.
However, there are discrepancies that could not be avoided by certain reason. Hereby I'll mention two of them that I have ever faced it:
- Late delivery.
This condition happened because of the production department couldn't reach the dead line, for example an L/C mentions the late delivery date is on June 20,2016, but the actual delivery later than, let say it's June 21,2016. Of course, it will be made document discrepancy.
- The agent unclear.
This is because forwarder who issue bill of lading, has a system to issue bill of lading, they usually can not create bill of lading manually, so that they can not change the bill of lading format. On bill of lading format written " As agent of the carrier ". This sentence make bill of lading in bad condition, discrepancy issue will comes when it's presented to the bank. If they can change the format, it should be " As the agent of the carrier.
Because discrepancy is very danger to happens and will effect to any changes comes, create document carefully and manage it.
