Apply a Fee Schedule

This example shows the configuration for a fee schedule that consists of fees for different fee definitions.

Step 1 - Setup Time Period

The first step is to set up a time period for which the premium amounts apply.

Time Period

Name

Start

End

Calendar year 2020

01-01-2020

12-31-2020

More time periods can be set up later, for example, when we want to specify premium amounts for calendar year 2021.

Step 2 - Setup a Schedule Definition

The second step is to set up a schedule definition. The schedule definition controls which columns the fee schedule shows in addition to the fee. To add a column for the fee definition, add a single dimension:

FEE_DEF

Step 3 - Setup a Fee Schedule

The next step is to set up a fee schedule, based on the schedule definition we just set up. Once the schedule definition has been saved on the fee schedule header, the fee schedule shows two columns: one for the fee definition and one for the fee.

Step 4 - Assign the Fee Schedule

The fee schedule is now complete, but it won’t be applied in the fee generation until it is attached to a fee definition. To complete the example, set up a fee definition and link it to the fee schedule.

1. A flex code dynamic field is configured on entity Fee Definition that represents the code of the fee definition; this way the code can be matched with the fee definition codes specified on the fee schedule lines (see below)
