You can use the report RICL_PRODUCT_COPY
to copy product data from the In-Force Business Configurator (IFBC) in SAP Policy Management (FS-PM) to SAP Claims Management (FS-CM). The system then automatically creates the following objects in FS-CM:
Policy products and the permitted coverage types for each policy product
These are determined from the FS-PM level of “Contract”.
Coverage types
These are determined from the FS-PM level of “Coverage”.
Benefit types
These are determined from the FS-PM level of “Subcoverage”.
The system uses data from the IFBC such as technical keys, names, and validity period as the basis for creating objects.
Note
Consider the following limitations:
You can only create policy products, coverage types and benefit types. You cannot make changes to existing policy products, coverage types and benefit types.
You cannot use this report to create insurance lines of business and incident types. You have to create these manually in FS-CM.
The validity period for a policy product and the validity period for a coverage type that is assigned to this policy product must be identical.
To enable transports of the objects created by this report, you might need to include them manually in transport requests.
To read data from the IFBC, the report calls function module /PM0/ABU_IBC_XML_EXPORT
in FS-PM using a Remote Function Call (RFC).
You need authorization to create policy products, coverage types, and benefit types. You use authorization object S_TABU_DIS
to assign this authorization as follows:
Enter ICL1 as the table authorization group.
Enter 01 as the activity.
To get the FS-CM specific fields that are not stored in the IFBC (such as company code, insurance line of business for a policy product), you must extend subreport ENRICH_DATA
to include these fields.
You have maintained the values for the following attributes in the IFBC:
EXTERNAL_PRODUCT
(at FS-PM level of “Contract”)
The system uses this attribute value as the technical key for the policy product in FS-CM.
CLAIM_COVERAGE_TYPE
(at FS-PM level of “Coverage”)
The system uses this attribute value as the technical key for the coverage type in FS-CM.
CLAIM_BENEFIT_TYPE
(at FS-PM level of “Subcoverage”)
The system uses this attribute value as the technical key for the benefit type in FS-CM.
You have created the RFC Destination to FS-PM (see “Integration” above).
Call transaction SE38
.
Enter report name RICL_PRODUCT_COPY
.
Choose (Execute
).
Make the following entries:
Template ID
This is the ID under which the product template is stored in the FS-PM database.
RFC destination
Name of destination of FS-PM system
Simulation
You can execute the report in simulation mode. In this case, the system does not perform any changes in the database.
The system creates the new objects and displays the result in a log as follows:
The newly created policy products, coverage types, and benefit types are displayed.
If a policy product, coverage type, or benefit type already exists (meaning it is not created), this fact is logged.
