0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Reinsurance
calculation message (RECALC) to be used in Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional Definition
RECALC is a generic message used in reinsurance environment to
show various types of calculation that are either based on the
loss ratio or on the technical result of a reinsurance contract
or program, mainly in the area of commissions and commission
adjustments and in stop loss claims. This message supports
results shown in the RETACC message.
1.2 Field of Application
The Reinsurance calculation 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
A reinsurance technical account (catered for in the RETACC
message) is only acceptable by the receiver if certain figures
are supported by specific calculations, in which the sender
explains how he arrived at these figures. This message
specifically caters for profit commissions, sliding scale
commissions, loss participation, additional commissions profit
related, and stop loss claims.
