transaction (IBR06). An insurance relationship can be assigned to just one broker for a set period.
You define from when/until when the broker is responsible for the customer's open items. Selection between brokers takes place according to the due date for the open items. The items are therefore always assigned to just one broker.
Set the
Collections/Disbursements
indicator if the broker is to collect/disburse the money from the customer. The indicator causes the open items on the customer account to be selected when creating a broker report or broker invoice for the broker (who is to pay the items). If the indicator is not set, the customer pays directly. The open items on the customer account can be displayed in the account balance as information for the broker.
