  Interface to Reinsurance System

Use

SAP Claims Management (FS-CM) has an interface to a reinsurance system. In the standard delivery, SAP Reinsurance Management (FS-RI) is integrated. However, you can also integrate a different reinsurance system (see below 'Use of Other Reinsurance System').

The following graphic shows the integration of the SAP components FS-PM ( SAP Policy Management), FS-CM ( SAP Claims Management), FS-RI ( SAP Reinsurance) and FS-CD ( SAP Insurance Collections and Disbursements) in a claim. The loss amount is USD 100,000 and the reinsurance share is 90%.

 

The following graphic shows the underlying architecture:

Abbreviations used:

RI = SAP Reinsurance Management

PTF = Portfolio

RIP = Reinsurance Program

RI = Reinsurance

Reporting Claim and Settlement Data to Reinsurance System

You can use report ICL _RIDATA_UI to report claim and settlement data for handing primary insurance business from SAP Claims Management t o the reinsurance system.

To call the report, on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Start of the navigation path Insurance Next navigation step Claims Management Next navigation step Claim Next navigation step Routine Interface Processes Next navigation step Report Claim/Settlement Data to Reinsurance System End of the navigation path .

For more information, see the report documentation.

Use of Other Reinsurance System

If you want to use a different reinsurance system from FS-RI, you must implement the Business Add-In(BAdI) BADI_ICL_RIDATA. You can find this BAdI in theSAPCustomizing Implementation Guide(IMG) underSAP Start of the navigation path Insurance Next navigation step Claims Management Next navigation step Claim Next navigation step Technical Settings Next navigation step Interface to Reinsurance System Next navigation step BAdI: Interface to Reinsurance System End of the navigation path .

Mapping of Interface

When you transfer claim or settlement data to FS-RI, you must first of all map the FS-CM data structures to FS-RI data structures before the transfer takes place.

The following options are available for mapping the data structures:

  • Mapping using the Service Mapping Tool (SMT)

    You can use the Service Mapping Tool to create own mappings for the data structures or to enhance the default mappings provided by SAP as an example.

    SAP supplies the following default mappings:

    • IF_ ICL _RI_OUT-QUEUE (FS-CM queue)

    • IF_ ICL _RI_OUT-CLAIMCR (FS-CM claim data)

    • IF_ ICL _RI_OUT-ACCOUNTING (FS-CM settlement data)

      Technical usage of the Service Mapping Tool (such as changing and extending the mapping) is the same as with the usage in the interface to the policy system (see Mapping of Interface to Policy System ).

      For more information, see Mappings for Enterprise Services .

      The Service Mapping Tool is only available for mapping of data structures as of FS-RI 6.6.

  • Mapping Using Business Add-In (BAdI) BADI_ ICL _RIDATA

    Prior to FS-RI 6.6, you can only perform mapping using the BAdI BADI_ICL_RIDATA (Customizing path: Start of the navigation path SAPInsurance Next navigation step Claims Management Next navigation step Claim Next navigation step Technical Settings Next navigation step Interface to Reinsurance System Next navigation step BAdI: Interface to Reinsurance System End of the navigation path ). The sample implementation of the BAdI is calledICL_RIDATA_FSRI.

    To perform mapping, you must also execute the following Customizing activities under Interface to FS-RI in the path specified above:

    • Enhance Field Assignments

    • Enhance Value Assignments

    • Enhance Parameters
