Agency: The list of agencies is provided from an ACORD codeset (CodeListResponsibleAgencyCoded, 3055).

Identifier: Partners may have many identifiers, and many identifiers from the same agency. The same identifier/agency pair is not allowed more than once in the system.

Processing Action: If you routinely receive messages for an Agency/identity pair that you do not want to process, you can select the option ‘Validate but do not update SICS’. The default option is to ‘Update SICS’. This option is only available on Base Company business partners.

Lloyds Syndicate: Indicates that this agency/id pair is a Lloyds syndicate, and that messages linked to this partner using this identifier will be processed accordingly.

Outgoing Default: One of the Agency/Identifier pairs may be defined as the Outgoing default, to be used when creating an ACORD Settlement message from a Settlement balance group or when creating a TechAccount message from a Retrocession Account Order. A settlement message/TechAccount message may not be created if the outgoing default is not defined. Only one membership pair may be defined as the Outgoing default.

Default Role: When an Agency/Identifier pair is defined as the Outgoing default, you must also specify a default role this partner will take in any messages created.

The menu options on partner eMessaging details are all concerned with managing the ruleset used for the partner and to select a banak account to be used for a combination of currency and trust fund code when processing eMessaging Settlements.

Create Ruleset #

You do not have to create a ruleset for each partner. In the absence of a specific ruleset, the system will use the ruleset for the partner type (according to the role in the message) or the general ruleset.

Bank Account mappings #

It is possible to identify bank accounts to be used when booking ACORD Settlement messages. A Trust Fund Code and a Currency may be linked to a specific Bank Account. The rule that creates a Remittance Worksheet will look in this table first, and if it finds a match, the system will use that Bank Account. If there is no mapping, the system will revert to looking directly for a Bank Account without using the mapping table. If no entry is found, or if multiples are found, the bank account will not be completed on the Worksheet.
