Problem:
Business list missing on Instalment Premium Order

Solution:
When an instalment order runs with Closed Worksheet box selected, after the List Premiums has been selected, and worksheets are created for one or more businesses listed on the order, then all listed businesses, also those with Closed worksheets, shall remain in the list when you reopen this order, also after the system is refreshed.
This should be the case for ALL types of instalment orders, and independent if List Premiums has been selected or not (it is working fine if the List Premiums is NOT selected).

Workaround:
Run the instalment order without using the List Premiums option

Problem: Retrocession Calculation Orders books Loss Participation with Incorrect Accounting Year and Period if there are multiple Accounting Years and Periods of the source Premiums or Loss bookings.

Solution: System should set the Accounting Year and Period of Loss Participation same as the Accounting Year and Period defined in the Retrocession Calculation Order when there are multiple Accounting Years and Periods of the source Premiums or Loss bookings.

Problem:
No As booking entries on US QS for XL netting premium are calculated - caused by As Account flag incorrectly set to Yes on As Original figures

Solution:
When system parameter 'Fac Netting Not Booked on Policy' is selected - figures from protected Non Prop XL should be booked to as Original at US Quota Share. Figures automatically booked to As Original must have the 'As Account' flag set to No - in the same manner as the As Booking flag is currently set to No. This would allow the bookings to be picked up for Proportional Retrocession via Retrocession Calculation / Retrocession Account orders

Workaround:
None

Problem:

There is a performance issue with the RECALC Order. After executing for almost 12h it finishes with a walkback.

Solution:

Do performance tuning to less time spent, and make sure running result should be same as before fixing.

Problem:
Multi Business Auto Protection order generates unexpected Retroceded Pct for Policy Life Light¨.

Solution:
When protection assignment is calculated it is expected that the protection assignment assignment is calculated using the latest section version SAR amount when there is a different SAR given in previous section version - and both section versions have the same attachment period from - to value.
The issue appears to be a result of some sorting issues of section versions.

Workaround:
Override protection assignment manually

Problem:
Only 6 decimals are shown in protection assignment are shown instead of 10. When saved to DB, correct decimals are saved, and after refresh - correct decimal places are shown online as well.

Solution:
Make sure that when generating proportional and non-proportional protection assignment directly from Policy Light or doing a manual assignment from Policy Light that 10 decimals are shown online immediately.

Workaround:
Save and/or refresh and you will see 10 decimals as expected

Problem:

System abends when selecting to close the claim worksheet when use case 'Accounting Claim Worksheet Closing' has been modified and ‘Update’ right is removed (but 'Execute' remains).

Solution:

The user should be able to close the worksheet status.

• Chapter 1.2.2 Desktop Icons: Technical code for link to GUI - instead of showing 'Business Folder'
• Chapter 1.2.6 Set User Preferences: Technical code for link to GUI - instead of showing 'Define Default Claims Preference'

Solution:

• Chapter 1.2.6 Set User Preferences: Show image for 'Define Default Claims Preference'

Workaround:
Check P&C User Guide - if available

Problem:

Join issues in Cede light universe which causes no data in the report.

Solution:

Need to alter the two joins as mentioned below.

*LIGHT_POLICY_Trig.OBJECT_ID=LIGHT_POLICY_Trig.OBJECT_ID AND TRIG_NO.TRIG_NO=TRIG_NO.TRIG_NO

*EC_Light.CODE=BOAC_DIM_TRIG_EC.CODE

Problem:

The system only validates the last section when creating a new policy light business with sections using web service createPolicyLightBusiness 

Solution:

When creating a new policy light business with more than one section by web service, the system must validated that all sections has all mandatory values - in the same way as in on-line SICS 

Workaround:

Make sure all mandatory values are entered in the web service

Create Policy Light business can be updated with missing values in the on-line system

Problem:
When Assistance Cover calculation is expected at Prop OCC according to Assistance Key, No of Insurable Objects at Policy Light and Premium LookUpTable at OCC, the split by Accounting Year and Period is not according to expectation when Yearly Premium is selected.

Solution:
For Assistance Cover Calculation in Retrocession Calculation order, the following calculation should take place:
Yearly Premium calculation is based upon the As Original Booking (from Preliminary Booking Order), and is splitting the premium into accounts. For example, if the premium is for the entire insured period of 010124-311224, quarterly accounts will each include approximately 1/4 of the premium (counting days of current Account).
Flat Premium calculation is based upon the As Original Booking (from Preliminary Booking Order), and the premium is booked in full in the first account of the Insured Period.

Workaround:
None

Root Cause:
SE-3142

Problem:
Noticed two issues with the Light detail behavior in case of Assistance Coverage Premium calculation in PBO order. As follow:

• When we run two light details in one PBO, then Premium Calculation is happening for the second detail. 
• When we have a new detail which triggers calculation, but there is an already existing detail with an existing target detail for the same Policy Light section version. And we run PBO, the Flat Premium calculation will not trigger but, sets retroceded = Yes. Instead Retroceded Flag is still set as No.

Solution:
The Light detail behavior in case of Assistance Coverage Premium calculation in PBO order. As follow:

• When we run two light details in one PBO, then Premium Calculation should happen for first detail. And set both details to retroceded = Yes.
• When we have a new detail which triggers calculation, but there is an already existing detail with an existing target detail for the same Policy Light section version. No Premium calculation for new detail, but should set retroceded = Yes

Workaround:
None

Problem:

 Poor performance in Support Script 005

Solution:

Remove the table BOAC_PC_FACT from subselect in the “AND EXISTS” filter. This is producing a cartesian product with the table to be updated.

Problem:
System abends when trying to save allocated Protection programs or OCCs in the 'Edit Light Claim Protection Program' window.

Solution:
System should save selected results for protection assignment, or give error message when nothing is selected.

Workaround:
None

Root Cause:
SE-30659

Problem:
Percentage of Premium Table is not considered in Assistance Premium Calculation. Instead it is considering the entire premium.

Solution:
The Assistance Premium Calculation should consider the Percentage of Premium which is defined in 'Percentage of Table' field for both Yearly and Flat Premium calculations. 

Workaround:
None
