Running the Enrollment Reporting Snapshot Process

The Enrollment Reporting Snapshot process extracts data that you specified on the Enrollment Snapshot Options page from the database and writes it to the BN_SNAP_PER, BN_SNAP_JOB, and BN_SNAP_PLAN tables. Each time that you run the Enrollment Reporting Snapshot process, the data in the snapshot tables is cleared and new information is written.

Every time that the Enrollment Reporting Snapshot or Carrier Report processes are run, a record is written to the BN_SNAP_HIST table. You can review this log using the Review Interface Run History page.

This section provides an overview of database record layout details and lists the pages used to run the Enrollment Reporting Snapshot process.

Understanding the Flat Amount Field

This field has different meanings depending upon the plan type and the plan context. In general, this field represents a flat amount of Life/AD&D coverage defined at either the plan level or the employee level; the amount may be in addition to a factor of salary coverage. For dependent life and dependent AD&D plans, it may represent the amount of coverage elected for a particular dependent. For nondependent Life/AD&D plans and pension plans, it may represent a flat amount beneficiary allocation.

The following tables show how this field is used in each context.

Nondependent Life/AD&D Plan Types

This table shows how the Flat Amount field is used with nondependent Life and ADD plan types. Each column represents the value of LIFE_ADD_COVRG, which defines how the coverage is calculated for a plan.

Participant	Flat Amount	Flat + Factor	EE-Specified	Special Calc	Sum of Dependents
Employee	Flat amount of coverage	Flat amount portion of total coverage	Flat amount, or flat amount portion of total coverage	Zero (not applicable)	Zero (not applicable)
Dependent/Beneficiary	Beneficiary allocation (if flat amount)	Beneficiary allocation (if flat amount)	Beneficiary allocation (if flat amount)	Beneficiary allocation (if flat amount)	Zero (not applicable)
