LC discrepancies problem

Dear All, 

THis is my past experience.

My company presented documents to bank for LC drawing but received the discrepancies advice quoted :+Weight note showing unit of quantity as pcs instead of copies conflicting with other docs and showing pallet no. as 4 wheres (should be whereas) totol (should be total) of pallets is 48. 

As far as I know, ISBP clause 24 Mathematical calculations stated :Details mathematical calculations in documents will not be checked by banks. Banks are only obliged to check total values against the credit and other required documents. 

What’s the problem for a weight note to use the unit differ from other documents? It doesn’t affect value of goods. Besides, the pallet number we stated on weight note was “quantity” not a number. We have 12 items each consists of 4 pallets. Of course, total pallets equal to 48. The checker thought that it should be only 12 pallets because each item has the same pallet number 4. That’s ridiculous! 

Can any one give some comments?
