 Copying Product Data from FS-PM

 

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 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.

End of the note.

Integration

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).

Prerequisites

Authorization

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.

Enhancement of Subreport ENRICH_DATA

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.

Attribute Maintenance in the IFBC

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.

RFC Destination to FS-PM

You have created the RFC Destination to FS-PM (see “Integration” above).

Activities

  1. Call transaction SE38.

  2. Enter report name RICL_PRODUCT_COPY.

  3. Choose Execute (Execute).

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
