Central object for the reconciliation process between the broker and insurance companies.
You use the broker report for online entry and processing of the information for a broker using the amounts collected and disbursed by that broker within a defined period, and for entry and processing of the data available in Collections/Disbursements using open items for a broker and the insurance relationships assigned to that broker. These items may include:
Premiums collected by the broker
Claims payments disbursed by the broker
Commissions retained by the broker
Costs incurred by the broker.
The reported amounts are posted from the broker report and normally lead to clearing on the customer accounts.
The broker report is entered manually, created automatically, or read in from a file using a transfer program and saved, or created with BAPIs.
