Claim Funding - Letter of Credit
Some markets require a security in form of for example a Letter of Credit, Outstanding Cash Advance, or Loss Reserve Deposits for all outstanding claims. The provision itself is recorded on the Business' Deposit Condition (DP) on sub-tab Loss. It may also be of interest to capture the amounts required per loss on the claim itself, and SICS allows you to maintain this information in the Funding Properties section found on the sub-tab Claim Figures. The fields are only enabled when the Business Condition has been recorded.
