Process

-  Schedule the annuity run at a holding fund level.
Note:
The holding fund is an annuity main scheme to which all sub-schemes (sections) are linked to enable one annuity run/fund that will include pensioners to be paid monthly pension benefits from all the sub-schemes linked.

-  Once the annuity run has been authorized, a file containing changes to pensioner and beneficiary records which have occurred since the last payment run is created

-  When the annuity run is authorized, the system will identify the pensioner changes for schemes which have the interface type of ‘INTERFACE 3’ associated to them.  Changes will be identified and validated as follows:

Validation

New pensioner records

The payment start date on the annuity record must be less than or equal to the effective date of the current payment run and the timestamp must be greater than or equal to the timestamp of the Last Run Date and only if included in the current payment run.
