Bind

The Bind menu command is used to bind a quote and provide a confirmation of coverage to the retail agent/broker.

  1. Select a quote to bind on the Main tab.
  2. On the Submission menu, click Bind, or click the Bind button on the tool bar.
 

If a product message has been added to the product table in Data Maintenance Utility (DMU) for the product being quoted, the message will be displayed when you click Bind.

  1. If there are multiple versions of the quote, and if version A was selected on the Versions tab, then the Select Quote Version to Bind dialog box will appear. Select a quote version to bind and click OK.

  1. In Policy Number Options, click one of the following buttons:
    1. Assign policy from Register – assign an available policy number from the policy register
    2. Issue binder with policy number TBD – issue the binder with the policy number to be determined (TBD) at a later time
    3. Enter policy number from Company – type the company issued policy number in Enter Policy Number
    4. Issue binder with Master Policy Number – assign a master policy number to multiple submissions
    5. Issue Renewal Certificate – for renewal policies only, type the policy number in Enter Policy Number
    6. Cancel – cancel binding

  1. Once you have entered a policy number or specified the policy number as TBD, Submission Entry – Quote Detail – Pg. 2 is displayed. Edit or review as necessary.
  2. Click the Bind button to enter binder information in Issue Binder.

If you have a permission level of 9, you will see the Admin button on the title bar of the Submission Entry – Quote Detail – Pg. 2 dialog box. This button is used to specify which fields are required in the submission entry workflow.

  • In the Extended Form Admin dialog box, select the fields to set as required fields, and then click Save.
