Master Policies

This functionality enables insurers to create their bundled policy offerings, covering General Insurance, Life & Health protection, but underlining the fact that the Mastepolicy has the distinct characteristic for being the way through which multi-object, multi-location is managed for Property & Casualty business or for example multi-person (group) contracts for Life & Health.

The Masterpolicy and its linked Policies have some common details. For example they share the same contractor, intermediary, currency, policy end date, number of installments, installments due dates, payment types.

A Masterpolicy is issued by using the GenerateMasterpolicyAPI:

  • When generating a Masterpolicy with no policy attached, it is automatically set in the Draft status, with several editable fields described further;

  • When generating a Masterpolicy with its attached policy at the same time, it is automatically set in the Proposal status, and its fields are read-only;

  • The master policy in the Proposal status is not versioned when new policies are added.

NOTE  

When generating policies under a master policy, you can add them with a Start Date earlier than the Issue Date or the Start Date of the master policy.
