Generating EDI JV Messages

SICS provides the possibility to produce JV messages from accounting orders and claims. These messages can then be sent between business partners without the need of an intermediary entity as required for LIMNET.

Generating Messages from Accounting Order #

The generation of EDI JV messages is achieved given three specific accounting orders: Retrocession Account, Facultative, and Treaty Outward.

To access an accounting order:

1. Open the Accounting folder on the SICS desktop and double-click the Order icon.
2. In the Find: Accounting Order window, select one of the following types: Retrocession Account, Facultative, or Treaty Outward, and open any of the matching accounting orders found by the system.
3. Select Generate EDI Documents from the pop-up menu.

Note! The generation of JV messages is only available for accounting orders with the status of Closed.

For each order, SICS produces a batch for each message type (RETACC, RESETT and REBORD) that the message receiver can receive.

SICS stores EDI JV messages generated by the system in the SICS database. You can access these messages through the Find Batch or Find Message windows and they can be viewed internally. These messages have the status of Generated.

Generating Messages from Claim #

For individual claims linked to facultative business, REBORD, RETACC and RESETT messages can be produced.

To produce those messages from a claim:

1. Select the Claim Figures tab on the claim.
2. Click the Menu in the Produced Claim Advises section.

In order to produce JV messages, the EDI JV Details for the corresponding business partner must allow creation of REBORD, RETACC and RESETT.

Listing Produced Documents #

By selecting List Documents from Edit Menu buttons in SICS you can access a window listing the generated batches. The properties of each batch indicate the location of the actual physical file on your machine or server. The default location is set in the EDI tab of the System Parameter Maintenance window.
