0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Reinsurance
premium message (REPREM) to be used in Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional Definition
The Reinsurance Premium Message (REPREM) allows to support the
technical entries for any premium or brokerage adjustment
amount. For this purpose, it enables to render all the relevant
data (mainly amounts and the way they are built up) used in the
actual calculation of the adjustment, as well as the other
relevant elements used in the specific formula.
1.2 Field of Application
The Reinsurance premium 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 caters
for 3 of these specific calculations, i.e. premium adjustment
(flat or retrospective - considering the past loss history for
the contract), reinstatement premium (which is an additional
premium to be paid by the reinsured in order to reinstate the
cover granted by the reinsurer) and brokerage adjustment
(triggered by a premium adjustment).
