Notes

Note: You may never need to run the Business Unit Appointment Termination Inquiry if the Vertafore-configured business rule, TRMN_BU_APPT_IND, is configured to prevent a user from terminating a producer's appointment, unless the user shares all of the producer's business units. For more information, see Configuration Options.

Note: The Active Business Unit(s) field on the report results displays only the producer's currently active business units. If the Business Unit(s) field displays no data for a producer included in the report results, it means that the producer had no active business units on the report date.
