Use

This Business Add-In (BAdI) provides you with methods for calculating IBNR reserves. SAP provides several methods in the standard delivery, and you can use these when configuring IBNR calculation methods. In addition, you can freely implement a method without functionality and semantics, to suit your own requirements.

The BAdI methods are called according to the configuration in IMG activity Define Procedure Sequence for Reserving for each event month in the selection interval of report IBNR Reserves (Health Line) -> Determination -> Determine Reserve.

Requirements

The following configured data must exist in the reserve calculation:

This data yields the BAdI method to be called to calculate the reserves.

Standard settings

The standard devliery does not contain an active implementation but standard source coding. The BAdI is not filter-dependent and it does not have multiple uses.

The following calculation methods are available in the standard implementation:

  • MANUAL_CLAIMRES
    • Manual loss reserve made by claim handler (quantities in particular)
  • MANUAL_IBNRRES
    • Manual standard values made by controller (cases and quantities in particular)
  • STAT_CLAIMRES
    • Open quantities / statistical average values (for loss reserves)
  • STAT_IBNRRES
    • Statistical average values (for IBNR)
  • EXTRAPOLITE_LASTYEAR
    • Extrapolation of previous year
  • EXTRAPOLITE_CURRENTLEVEL
    • Current extrapolation
  • DISTRIBUTE
    • Distribution of (standard) values (quantities in particular)
  • OTHER_CALCULATION
    • Unspecified calculation method of an IBNR reserve

Activities

After you call the IMG activity, the system displays a dialog box where you enter a name for the implementation.

If implementations of this Business Add-In have already been created, the system displays them in a dialog box. You then choose one of them by choosing Create, and continue as follows:

  1. In the dialog box, enter a name for the implementation of the Add-In and choose Create.
    The system displays the initial screen for creating Business Add-In implementations.
  2. On this screen, enter a short description for your implementation in the Implementation Short Text field.
  3. If you choose the Interface tab, you will notice that the system has populated the Name of the Implementing Class field automatically, by assigning a class name based on the name of your implementation.
  4. Save your entries and assign the Add-In to a package.
  5. To edit a method, double-click its name.
  6. Enter your implementation code between the method <Interface Name>~<Name of Method>. and endmethod. statements.
  7. Save and activate your code. Navigate back to the Change Implementation screen.
    Note: You can also create an implementation for an Add-In and not activate it until later. If you want to do this, do not perform the following step:
  8. Choose Activate.
    When the application program is executed, the code you created is run through.

Implement the methods of the BAdI. You can either overwrite the standard procedure or use the free method OTHER_CALCULATION. In the case of the latter, configure the delivered Cost Calculation Rule Differentiated parameter and you can evaluate this in a case differentiation.

Input data:

  • Reserves in the version of the reserve group cluster
  • Associated reserve groups
  • Reserve details
  • Possibly, driver and input files

Depending on requirements, set reserves either in the version of the reserve group cluster or in the reserve details. Save the method applied. You might need to update the input file from the driver files.
