Administering Loss Codes

You can define a loss code for a particular type of loss and associate a default activity plan template and default coverages with that loss code.

You use the activity plan association in the Claims screen, then the Activity Plans view. When the user enters a loss code and clicks the Default Plan button, the default activity plan for the loss code is created.

The default coverage association is used in the Claims screen, then the Loss Details - Auto and Loss Details - Property views to populate these views with default coverage data. From these views, the user can create appropriate reserves for each coverage.

This task is a step in Process of Managing Claims.
