Auto-Map Every IRM to Its Shipping Bill on ebrc.in
An eBRC links two records: the IRM your bank reported to DGFT, and the shipping bill and invoice that earned it. The eBRC exporter app has a feature for exactly that link: every IRM is auto-mapped to its shipping bill and invoices, so filing becomes something you review, not something you type.
What auto-mapping means
Mapping is the step that turns a remittance into a certificate. On the DGFT portal it is done by hand: open the IRM, then type the shipping bill number, the date, the port code, the invoice number, the currency, the value, and the amount of the remittance you are applying. Get one field wrong and the filing is refused.
Auto-mapping does that step for you. The app holds your IRMs and your shipping bills side by side and pairs every IRM with the shipment and invoice it settled. When you open a shipment, the mapping is already there: the IRM, the amount applied, and the reason the two belong together.
What you see
The Shipping Bills screen lists every shipment, each with one of four statuses:
- Ready to file. An IRM covers the shipment in full. The filing record is complete and waiting for your review.
- Part paid. Some of the money has arrived. The record shows what is covered and what is still open, so an advance or a split payment is never mistaken for a full one.
- Awaiting payment. No IRM matches yet. The bill stays on the list until its money arrives.
- Filed. An eBRC has been submitted. The certificate number appears as soon as DGFT issues it.
Open any shipment to see the IRM it was mapped to and why: the remittance names the invoice, or its amount, currency and paying party agree with the bill. One IRM can settle several shipments and two IRMs can settle one; the screen shows the split instead of forcing a one-to-one pair, and no IRM is ever applied beyond the amount DGFT says is still available on it.
The one thing left for you
Review, then file. The record that will be filed is shown in full, with the other candidates the app considered listed beneath it, so you can choose differently if you know something the documents do not. One click files the eBRC. DGFT usually issues the certificate in about two hours, and it lands in eBRC Reports with everything else you have filed.
Prefer bulk? Export the mapped shipments to a spreadsheet, check it the way you check any bulk file, and upload it through the spreadsheet workflow. Every row is checked before anything is filed.
What it never does
It never files on its own. Ready to file is a status, not a submission; the click is always yours. It never certifies anything: the certificate is the eBRC, DGFT issues it, and the screen hands over to eBRC Reports the moment a filing goes out. And it never changes your records anywhere else; the app only reads.
Where the readers fit
The same readers behind the free shipping bill extractor and export invoice extractor live inside the app, with a history of every document read. A shipping bill that is not yet on the screen can be dropped in as a PDF and the mapping fields fill themselves, so nothing is ever typed from paper.
How to switch it on
Sign in to the eBRC exporter app, open Shipping Bills, and complete the one-time setup on the screen. It takes about a minute. We then get your account ready and email you when it is, and nothing is filed with the DGFT in the meantime. When it opens, every match is yours to review before anything is sent. The app is free at any volume, with no certificate limit.
