Every confirmation, certificate and claim checked against the contract

Build an agent that checks the documents for a letter of credit presentation before they go to the bank. From the letter of credit, the commercial invoice and the bill of lading, extract the credit number, beneficiary, credit amount and tolerance percentage, latest shipment date, port of loading and port of discharge; the invoice beneficiary, credit number and amount; and the bill of lading shipper, on-board date, port of loading, port of discharge and any clauses about the goods or packaging. Also have the extractor state whether the invoice amount is within the credit amount plus tolerance, whether the on-board date is on or before the latest shipment date, whether both ports match the credit, whether the bill of lading is clean (no clause about damaged goods or packaging), and whether the beneficiary is the same on the credit, invoice and bill of lading. Check all of these. If any check fails, send it to the trade finance officer. Then write a short presentation check record.

Build an agent that checks a counterparty's trade confirmation against the signed sales contract. From both documents, extract the contract number, buyer, seller, commodity and grade, quantity and tolerance, price and currency, Incoterms and named place, shipment period and payment terms, and whether the confirmation is signed by the counterparty. Also have the extractor state, for each term, whether the confirmation matches the contract, and list any terms that differ (or None). Check every term matches and the confirmation is signed. If any check fails, send it to the trade operations lead. Then write a short confirmation check record.

Build an agent that checks the independent inspector's certificates for a cargo against the sales contract. From the contract quality and quantity clause and the certificates of quality and weight, extract the contract number, vessel, contracted quantity and tolerance percentage, each quality parameter with its typical value and rejection limit, the certified result for each parameter, the certified quantity, the vessel and contract number on each certificate, and whether each certificate is signed. Also have the extractor list any parameters outside the rejection limit (or None), state whether the certified quantity is within the contracted quantity plus or minus the tolerance, and whether the vessel and contract number match on both certificates. Check all of these and that both certificates are signed. If any check fails, send it to the trader to accept with a price adjustment, claim or reject. Then write a short certificate check record.

Build an agent that checks a shipowner's laytime and demurrage claim before it is paid. From the charter party terms, the statement of facts and the owner's claim, extract the laytime allowed in hours, the notice of readiness turn time in hours and the demurrage rate per day; the time the notice of readiness was tendered, the time loading or discharge was completed and each excepted period with its hours; and the claim's laytime start, hours deducted, time on demurrage, rate and amount claimed. Also have the extractor calculate laytime start as tendered time plus turn time, time used as completion minus laytime start minus excepted hours, time on demurrage as time used minus laytime allowed, and the amount as demurrage hours divided by 24 times the charter party rate, and state whether the claim's laytime start, hours deducted, rate and amount each match. Check all of these. If any check fails, send it to the claims analyst. Then write a short demurrage check record.
