0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Insurance
policy administration message (IPPOAD) to be used in Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional definition
The Insurance policy administration message is exchanged
between insurers, insurance intermediaries, clients and third
parties for the purpose of policy administration. It covers the
administration of a policy from initial placing, through
adjustment and renewal to cancellation as well as providing
policy declarations to third parties.
1.2 Field of application
The Insurance policy administration message may be used for
both national and international applications. It is based on
universal practice related to administration, commerce and
transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
industry.
1.3 Principles
The message should contain information relating to a single
insurance contract (which may be a single policy or a group of
policies under one contract number), although this contract may
have more than one insurer (co-insurance).
The message may contain many business transactions but all must
relate to a single contract.
The message is used for all transaction types in either
dialogue (request for and provision of policy details) or
notification (after the event) processing.
The structure of IPPOAD is based upon the insurance sub-working
group insurance underwriting data model. The major entities in
the data model form the core segment groups. These groups are
for the policy contract (triggered by the Insurance cover
description segment), parties (triggered by the Party name
segment), insurance objects (triggered by the Risk object
description segment), and events and activities (triggered by
the Event segment) and are positioned at the top level in the
message structure.
When processing a policy transaction a series of input
'components' associated with the major entities are processed.
For example, when the insurance object is a premises then
information on its construction is required, when the object is
a vehicle then information on its security devices is required.
As a result of the transaction a series of output 'components'
is derived, for example, covers and premiums. These input and
output components are carried in a group of segments triggered
by component details, where a coded qualifier identifies the
type of component. The component details component group is
positioned hierarchically below each of the major entity groups
in the message.
Below each of the component groups a group of segments,
triggered by premium calculation component, is positioned. The
premium calculation component groups provide details of the
components used to calculate the premiums and derive the covers
for the main entities, for example, loadings, discounts,
excesses, endorsements, conditions.
Other top level groups that complete the message structure are
triggered by the sequence details segment - to provide details
of the insurance history (previous policies) for the risk and
the payment terms segment - to provide payment details.
Although the major entities are linked hierarchically to their
input and output components and the premium calculation
components there is also a requirement to link the entities
relationally across the message structure, for example, parties
(drivers) to objects (vehicles). To achieve the links each
group has an Identity segment positioned as the first segment
inside the group that contains a unique identification number.
These identification numbers may then appear inside other
groups as 'foreign keys' to provide the relational links. They
may also be used to provide 'parent child' relationships; for
example, a parent object of a premises may contain a child
object of a freezer.
