Configure Hierarchical Limit Processing

Configure Hierarchical Limit Processing

Configure hierarchical limit processing for a root product so that a claim payment on a child coverage complies with and consumes parent and higher-level limits in the coverage hierarchy. To turn on hierarchical limit processing, create a record for the root product in the InsPlcyLimitConsumptionRule Tooling API object.

Before you start, make sure that the coverage hierarchy in the root product has parent-child relationships between coverages.

You configure hierarchical limit processing independently for each root product, and different root products can have different settings. For example, you can configure hierarchical limit processing for a Medical Insurance product by creating an InsPlcyLimitConsumptionRule record. However, if you don't create an InsPlcyLimitConsumptionRule record for an Auto Insurance product, the default limit processing applies to the product: a claim payment for a child coverage consumes limits for that coverage and the root coverage.

  1. To create an InsPlcyLimitConsumptionRule record for a root product, define a POST request for the /sobjects/InsPlcyLimitConsumptionRule resource.

    Use this URL for the resource: https://domain.my.salesforce.com/services/data/vXX.X/tooling/sobjects/InsPlcyLimitConsumptionRule/

    In the URL, domain is your org’s My Domain login URL and vXX.X is the API version number.

  2. In the request body, provide these fields:
    Field Description
    DeveloperName A unique identifier for this configuration record. For example, "Commercial_Property_Root_Rule."
    MasterLabel A descriptive label for the record. For example, "Commercial Property Root Consumption Rule."
    PolicyProductId The ID of the root product to configure hierarchical limit processing for.
    IsConsumptionEnabled Set to true to turn on hierarchical limit rollup.
  3. Send the POST request.
    A successful response returns the ID of the new consumption rule record.
