Insurance Object Category
Definition
Insurance object categories are used to classify and group insurance objects. Insurance object categories are used to define the selection of tab pages and fields when creating, changing and displaying an insurance object.
This means that the data relevant to an insurance object from the
Broker Contract
category is different to the data for an insurance object from the
Claim Number
category.
Internal insurance object categories are fixed and contained in the standard delivery. You cannot change these object categories.
You define external insurance object categories in the Implementation Guide and assign them to internal insurance object categories.
The standard delivery contains the following internal insurance object categories:
10 – Insurance contract
20 – Broker contract
30 – Commission contract
40 – Claim number
50 – Deposit contract
These insurance object categories can not be changed.
