 Setting Up the Extensive Required Field Check

Procedure

To be able to use the extensive required field check, proceed as follows:

  1. In Customizing of Claims Management you specify that you wish to use the extensive required field check by choosing Claim -> Process Control (Internal Claim Types) -> Configure Internal Claim Types .

    In the detail view for the version of the internal claim type, at Claim Header level choose the entry Extensive Required Field Check Upon Save for the Required Field Check field.

    You specify centrally for each internal claim type whether the extensive required field check should be active.

  2. Define which fields are to be required fields.

    You do this on the basis of the respective claim subobject categoryin Customizing or using the Business Add-In (BAdI) FMOD2 for Field Groups of Standard ( BADI_ICL_FMOD2 ) .

    The possible settings are listed below:

    • Claim subobject categories for which you want to define the required fields in Customizing:

      • Claim - header

      • Subclaim

      • Correspondence

      • Diagnosis

      • Litigation and litigation level

      • Negotiation and offers/demands

      • Special rights

      • Distribution plan and distribution item

      • Claim note

      • Reserve

      • Archived documents

        For the claim subobject categories listed above, we recommend that you define the required fields in Customizing. This is because it makes sense to handle all values of the claim subobject in the same way.

        You define the field modification of the BDT, that is valid for all internal claim types in all processing modes, in customizing as follows:

        IMG path: Claims Management -> Claims -> Technical Settings -> BDT-Customizing .

        This takes you to the FS-CM : Claims Management task level menu. Choose Customizing -> Field Modification -> Activity .

        We recommend that you define required fields for both activity 01 Create , and activity 02 Change .

        If required fields in customizing should be controlled differently, depending on the internal claim type, perform the following IMG activities:

      • For expert mode :

        Configure Field Attributes for Each Internal Claim Type for Expert Mode (IMG path: Claims Management -> Claim -> Technical Settings -> Screen Modifications -> Configure Field Attributes for Each Internal Claim Type for Expert Mode )

        Proceed as follows:

        1. Select the respective internal claim type in the initial screen.

        2. Choose Field Modification .

        3. In the next screen, double click the dataset whose field groups you want to define as required fields.

        4. Then define which field groups are to be required fields.

      • For all other processing modes :

        Configure Field Attributes for Each Internal Claim Type for Other Processing Modes (IMG path: Claims Management -> Claim -> Technical Settings -> Screen Modifications -> Configure Field Attributes for Each Internal Claim Type for Other Processing Modes )

        The procedure is the same as that described for expert mode.

    • Claim subobject categories for which you have to use the BAdI FMOD2 for Field Groups of Standard (BADI_ICL_FMOD2)to implement the required fields:

      • Claim Item

      • Claim item groupings

      • Interruptions (only in the line of health insurance)

      • Payment request

      • Payment

      • Participants

      • Damaged object

        For these claim subobject categories, you must implement the required field check in BAdI FMOD2 for Field Groups of Standard (BADI_ICL_FMOD2). This is because the various instances of the claim subobject have to be handled differently in the required field check (IMG path for BAdI: Claims Management -> Claim -> Technical Settings -> Screen Modifications -> BAdI: FMOD2 for Field Groups in Standard ) .

        In this BAdI, you need to define in your programming the conditions under which the selected field group is to be a required field (for example, you can define that the field group of the Appraisal Reason field is to be a required field for the appraisal order and the appraisal receipt).
