Global Data Type (Infrastructure Parameters)

Purpose

This facility allows the business to specify what types of income, premiums, expenses and benefits may be expected for products.

 

Global Types are defined in terms of the following parameters:

-          Whether the income is Contributions, Expenses, Fee, Contributions to a Reserve or Scheme Income

-          Whether it is Voluntary or Mandatory

-          Whether it is Regular or Ad Hoc

-          Whether the income is attributable to Members or to the Product

-          Whether late income must be reported to the FSB

 

Note:

"Contribution to a Reserve" includes all Retirement Funding contributions as well as all other payments that are not immediately allocated in full to Fee or Premium payment. For example, it includes contributions to Stabilisation accounts, fee reserves, premium reserves and payment in respect of valuation deficits, as well as ordinary employer and employee contributions.

 

Income of all types may be specified to be either Employer or Employee paid
