Claim Transactions
When the system receives a claim transaction, it determines which assumed ceding
contracts are applicable based on cedant, risk type, and coverage. Afterwards, the
allocation of the claim recovery for the applicable assumed ceding contracts is
based on the technical accounting method previously selected for the contract. Each
claim transaction placed in the retention or book-of-business treaty triggers an
evaluation of applicable retrocession contracts. The system determines which retrocession
contracts are applicable, based on cedant, risk type, and coverage. It then allocates
any retrocession recoveries for the applicable contracts based on the technical
accounting method of the contract. If the contracts in question are non-proportional
contracts (e.g. Excess of Loss or Catastrophe Excess of Loss), the system also calculates
reinstatement premiums and generates the corresponding transactions.
