# Invoice Hub

> Invoice Hub is a web app for Indian exporters and their chartered accountants to raise GST export invoices (with the LUT in force on the invoice date), keep dated exchange rates and INR values, record export realisation and bank charges, and give the CA a register with CSV export and separate CA copies. Access is invite-only; data is isolated per organisation; roles are enforced on the server; two-factor sign-in and an activity log are built in. A read-only REST API is available.

Prices are in INR, exclusive of GST. The full text of the public site, guide, API reference and articles is at https://ledger.aapicos.com/llms-full.txt.
