Oracle® Insurance Rules Palette 9.4.0.0 E18894_01
If a plan uses funds, then
the funds must be set-up and associated to the plan. This
must be done prior to setting-up allocation structures, transactions or
business rules that use the funds. Funds are created
at the plan level.
Currently OIPA supports the following types of funds. Fund types are listed in AsCode>AsCodeFundTypes.
TypeCode Fund Type
02 Variable Fund
01 Fixed
05 Non-Invest
10 Unit linked funds
The type of fund is important since the valuation calculation is based on the type of fund. For example, if the fund is variable, then the current unit position is multiplied by the current unit price to establish a fund’s value.
Note: Funds are now available for configuration in allocations for transaction and business rule processing.
