Broker Report Category

Definition

Controls communication and management of open items between insurance companies and brokers.

Use

The broker report category controls the creation of broker reports in the Collections/Disbursements system.

The following processing options are available for broker reports:

  • Manual entry

  • Request periodically: This creates a regular correspondence request. You check correspondence requests in the SAP Easy Access menu under Start of the navigation path Insurance Next navigation step Collections/Disbursements Next navigation step Broker Collections Next navigation step Account Next navigation step More Information Next navigation step Correspondence History End of the navigation path . An entry is only created in the correspondence history if there is not yet a broker report for the determined due date.

  • Automatically create periodically: Broker report and invoice are created according to the defined reporting interval for the defined interval item. Define a correspondence variant, to which correspondence type V023 is assigned, for the insurance object (or for the contract account). For the invoicing period, all due open items are entered on customer accounts for the broker on the date of issue. It is not possible to create broker reports, which are due according to the date of issue. If a broker report already exists for the determined reporting interval, no further report is created. To start the correspondence print, choose Start of the navigation path Insurance Next navigation step Collections/Disbursements Next navigation step Periodic Processing Next navigation step For Contract Accounts Next navigation step Correspondence Next navigation step Print End of the navigation path from the SAP Easy Access Menu.

    You have created a number range interval with the number range '01' in the Implementation Guide: Start of the navigation path SAP Insurance Next navigation step Collections/Disbursements Next navigation step Broker Collections Next navigation step Settings for Posting Broker Reports Next navigation step Define Number Ranges for Automatic Broker Report Creation End of the navigation path .

  • Automatically create periodically and post: Closes and immediately posts a broker report that has been periodically created
