What is EDPMS and how is an export closed?
EDPMS is the monitoring system used in the export reporting workflow. A bank receipt is not by itself proof that the matching export record is closed.
What to do
Give the AD the declaration or export reference and each incoming-remittance reference. Request confirmation of matching, outstanding amounts and closure where appropriate. Under the regulation, the AD enters service EDF details in EDPMS within five working days; other matching and review steps depend on the transaction and process.
An invoice can be paid while a bank still needs a reference to match the receipt to its export record.
Avoid this mistake
Do not mistake a submitted draft for an EDPMS acknowledgement or closure confirmation.
Keep a clear record
Retain the underlying invoice or accepted statement, supporting correspondence and any acknowledgement from the designated authority or authorised-dealer bank. The tools here prepare information; only the appropriate authority can confirm acceptance, extension or closure.

Can the website file my EDF?
