Streamline insurance sales by grouping multiple root products such as Auto, Home, and
Medical into a single quote and policy structure. Insurance carriers can add multiple root
products to a quote and offer them together as a single unit. This topic explains what a
multi-root policy is, how it differs from a single-root policy, and the key considerations
across quoting and policy lifecycle management.

This model supports scenarios where carriers sell and service multiple products for the same
customer. Managing these products as independent quotes and policies increases complexity
across pricing, lifecycle operations, and financial tracking. Multi-root policies reduce this
fragmentation by enabling multi-product quoting and centralized lifecycle management while
preserving product-level separation.
Let's consider an example. Sara, a captive agent, creates a quote for a customer who requires
Auto Gold auto insurance coverage, Dental Gold medical coverage, and Term Life Standard life
insurance. She creates a single multi-root quote that includes all three products. When the
policyholder accepts the quote, each product is issued as a separate child policy and linked
under one parent policy.
Product setup for multi-root policies is identical to single-root policies. You can add
single-root bundles to a quote, and you can add the same bundle multiple times if required. No
additional product modeling changes are required to support multi-root policies.
Note The current scope of the multi-root policy lifecycle includes policy issuance,
endorsement, and renewal.
Determine the Policy Lifecycle at Issuance At the time of policy issuance, you must decide whether the policy should follow a single-root or multi-root lifecycle. This decision applies even when the quote contains only one product.
Quoting and Rating Key Considerations Understand how quoting, pricing, and underwriting work in multi-root quotes, including product configuration, pricing aggregation, instance key rules, and rule evaluation behavior.
Policy Management Key Considerations Understand how multi-root policies handle lifecycle operations, financial rollups, asynchronous processing, structure rules, and configuration behavior across parent and child policies.
Understand Reprice All in Insurance Quotes Recalculate pricing across all products in an insurance quote to produce accurate quote-level aggregates and pricing results.
