In this step, you define parameter groups. You decide which groups you require in two stages:

  1. You consider which costs, credits, coverage and employee and employer contributions for your plans vary according to the age, salary and/or seniority of employees (or possibly the age of the employee's spouse).
  2. You determine the different ways in which you need to divide your employees according to different value ranges for these criteria.

    It is not possible to define overlaps of ranges for a criterion within a single parameter group. Therefore, if you require different employee groupings for different plans, you need to create a separate parameter group.

For each unique combination of criteria and their values, you need to define a parameter group.

In this step, you simply create the parameter groups to which you assign groups for the individual criteria in the following steps. You later refer to the parameter groups, where applicable, in the individual rule variants for plans. Since one parameter group can be referenced by multiple plans, Customizing effort is kept to a minimum. In the plan variant, you also have the flexibility of being able to specify that you only want to use certain criteria values belonging to a parameter group, for example, age ranges.

Example

The cost of the Annuity Life insurance plan varies depending on the age and salary of an employee.

The cost of the Standard Life insurance plan also varies by these criteria, but the salary groups are different to those in the Annuity Life plan.

Therefore, two different parameter groups must be created for these two insurance plans, as follows:

    Parameter grp ANNU    Parameter grp STRD

Age group 01    1 - 39    1 - 39

Age group 02    40 - 99    40 - 99

Sal. group 01    $0 - $30,000    $0 - $20,000

Sal. group 02    $30,001+    $20,001+

Activities

  1. Identify the different parameter groups you require.
  2. Choose New entries.
  3. Enter a four-character identifier and description for each parameter group.
  4. Save your entries.
