SICSR-25753 - The Open Worksheet Mass Update function is used to close worksheets uploaded through excel or API without calculating Amount #

Product line Life
Component(s) Accounting general
Affects version(s) SICS 21.2 SSP15
Fix version(s) SICS 23.3 SICS 21.2 SSP16 SICS 21.3 SSP2 QHR5
Customer Qianhai Re

Problem:
The Open Worksheet Mass Update function is used to close worksheets uploaded through excel or API without calculating Amout
When you import technical worksheet from spreadsheet with multiple businesses/currencies, and use the New Amount column, then the details on the business/currency not inspected by the user becomes zero, i.e. the Amount value is not calculated.

Solution:
When using the function Import Technical Worksheet from Column Spreadsheet and it contains mappings to the New Amount column on the worksheet, then the system must calculate correct Previous Amount so that the Amount column is calculated correctly (New Amount less Previous Amount = Amount). A fix has been implemented in version 22.1 according to SICSR-23207, but it must also work in case there are two rows in the spreadsheet on same aggregation level, so that also the second worksheet created on this aggregation level calculates the Previous Amount after the 1st worksheet is closed.

Customer Allianz AG

Problem:
SICS 22.4 UAT - Abend on select 'Find in Retroceded' from assumed Business Ledger

Solution:
When the column Retroceded in the Details container on the Business Ledger on outward business, e.g. a prop treaty OCC, is added and saved for this user in the Column View, it shall correctly be shown in the container for prop treaty OCC and other businesses where this is relevant. But we must make sure the system is not abending and that means it must also be shown it Business Ledgers where it is not relevant, e.g. on an Assumed Business.

Workaround:
The Retroceded column is irrelevant on an Assumed Business, so the user should just avoid use the option Find in Retroceded in this column.

Problem:

The Multi GAAP Recalculation of ES in the SICS Life business of QianHai Re is very slow

Solution:

After 'Period Estimation Calculation on Prop Outward Contracts' is selected, a new value related to the Period estimate item is generated when Recalculation order is executed. Therefore, the solution is that IAB skips this processing logic, and only OCC and ORP are affected by this parameter, which can improve the efficiency of Recalculation order execution.

Component(s) Life
Affects version(s)
Fix version(s) SICS 23.3
Customer DXC

Problem:

System is showing wrong Unsettled Amount in Balance Pairing, when the Group Pairing Identifier is not defined on the system parameter.

Solution:

When the system parameter 'Balance Pairing Group in Use' is selected a group pairing identifier becomes mandatory for all types of balance pairings
So when the user attempts to perform a balance pairing and clicks on OK the error message 'No valid group pairing identifier is defined' should be thrown as per existing functionality. Nothing further should be validated here after this. On clicking OK to the error message and then again clicking OK for the balance pairing, the same error message should pop up.
No further calculation of the unsettled/ outstanding amounts should be done during this process. The error message should continue to be thrown forcing the user to cancel the operation and add an identifier

For Reference: This works fine when the operation is 'Create Balance Pairing Group'

Solution:

All claim ACI amounts that are calculated/ copied from any of the values in the claim decision liability or expenses tab should reflect the same decimals as available in the respective fields.

When the Claim Liability, Reserves, Expenses, Taxation or Interest values are calculated and this calculated value is then created as the retro claim ACI then the ACI should be rounded off using the same rule as the calculated values in the respective fields.

When the ACIs are specifically mapped with a value or entered on the claim, then the value as mapped or entered with the decimals if any should be considered and the retro claim ACIs should be calculated using the ACIs.

Problem:

Incorrect ACI calculation on Retrocession cession for Other deductions

Solution:
When the ceded flag is selected:

Always calculate ALL basic premium ACIs on annualised basis and divide it by the calculation frequency

Calculate Extra mortality premiums on the basis of the calculated basic premiums

Calculate Flat Extra on annual basis and divide by calculation frequency

Calculate per mill extras on annual basis and divide by calculation frequency

Calculate all commissions based on reinsurance premium using the calculated premium as above

Calculate the Other Deductions based on the gross premium , net premium , basic gross, extra gross, basic net, extra net using the above calculated values

The factor for dividing the annualised premium should be applied only once when calculating ANY ACI

When the ceded flag is selected- DO NOT apply the calculation frequency as a factor to calculate the premiums- the premium for each renewal period is as defined and all related ACIs will also be calculated based on this premium

Product line Life
Component(s) Life Retrocession Handling

Fix version(s) SICS 23.3
Customer DXC

Problem:

The ceded percentage on retro claims is not calculating correctly when the cession is retroceded by multiple facultative OCCs/ PP having multiple OCCs + Fac OCC.

Solution:

When there is one retrocession or more than one retrocession linked to the cession benefit:

When the inward claim is created default the ceded percentage from the cession benefit transaction to the claim. This can be overridden on the claim.

When the ceded percentage on the claim is not overridden i.e defaulted from the cession benefit then when the RCPO is run :

If the total ceded percentage on all the linked retrocession cessions on the cession benefit linked to the claim = the the ceded percentage on the inward claim, then use the retrocession share (Retro SAR/ SAR) to calculate the retro claim ACIs and all the values on each of the retro claims

Update the retrocession claims with the same ceded percentage that is available on the respective retrocession cessions.

When the ceded percentage is overridden- this currently seems to still be incorrect. We will need to handle this as a separate case since the same scenarios with one or more retros is possible. So as per this case, the existing logic can remain when the ceded percentage on the claim != the sum of the ceded percentage of the retrocession cessions.

Problem:

Incorrect retention calculated when we create two cessions on same life and define retention corridor in L condition.

Solution:

When the retention corridor is applied it should be applied and the SAR is retained, this should be considered as part of the used retention. When there is another cession created for the same life, same benefit then the retention should be considered as used by the first cession.

The above logic works as expected for a retention when there is no retention corridor applied.

Problem:

System abends on Web Services, when the 'Total Retention' or 'Our retention' element is not defined on the UpdatedLfProportionalLimitCondition Operation.
 
Solution:

We should be able update the L condition even of only one value is given in these 4 fields - the behaviour will be similar to online functionality in this case where all 4 fields are updated using the 1 value entered. If only Cedents Retention is entered also, the value will be calculated as 0 and still the condition will be saved without abend.

1) cedentsRetention is Cedent's Retention Limit
2) ourRetention is Our Reinsurance Limit
3) availableRetention is Available Reinsurance Limit
4) totalRetention is Quota Share Limit

2. It should also be possible to give all 4 values where the final calculation will be done based on the value entered in totalRetention which will update the Quota Share Limit field and then recalculate the rest of the fields based on the cedent's retention percentage

All soap logic should follow the online logic. None of the fields are required, if the value is not entered create the condition with 0 limits but there should be no abend.

Problem:

When same SOAP with exact same data is executed twice on the Webservices, the Limit condition of Quota Share Business is updating twice with different values.

Solution:

When the same update SOAP is executed and there is no change in any of the values for percent, retention, quota share amount, available reinsurance (respective elements) then there should be no recalculation of limits. The same values should be updated on the Limits condition of the Quota Share Business.

Customer DXC

Problem:

Above Notification limit and Above Participation flags are not updating on retro claims and on Placements claims.

Solution:

The Above notification and Above Participation Limit on the OCC should be considered on the retrocession cession level independent of the linked inward cession if any

When the RL condition of the OCC has the Above notification and Above Participation Limit defined then the flags should be available on the retro claim.

When the notified reinsurer's liability on the retroclaim is above the defined values on the OCC then the respective flags should be set (using the same logic as inward claim- Assumed Business RL condition).

When the notified reinsurer's liability is above the notificaion limit then the above notification limit flag should be selected.

If it is above participation limit, then both flags should be selected.

The flags from the Retro claim should be copied to the placement claims.

When the notified reinsurance liability is edited and so the flags are updated on the retro claim level then the placement claims should be updated accordingly.

Aim of function

The aim of the function is to default an accounting classification when there are multiple matching accounting classifications for retrocession cession

Business value for customers

When there are multiple accounting classifications on the OCC, the retrocession cession order will not automatically close the worksheets. With this enhancement it will be possible to use the inward cession's accounting classifications on the retrocessions

Some customers do not wish to classify their accounting based on the benefit covered, and now it will be possible to generate the ACs without benefit covered or reinsurance product as a parameter

System Parameters Affected

When the flag In AC is marked as No for Benefit Covered and/ or Reinsurance Product these values will not be part of the accounting classifications

Existing functionality affected

A new flag 'Use ACs from linked cessions' is applicable on the AC window of the OCCs and this will be copied to the placements and sections

When this flag is selected and the retrocession cession order is run, the ACs from the linked inward cessions will be used to create the worksheets. 

Where the linked inward cessions are informational or not included in accounting, then the ACs of the OCC will be used

Also, it will be possible to generate accounting classifications without the reinsurance product and the benefit covered based on the classification rules 2 in the system parameters
