Warning
Results
of the Business Unit Appointment Termination
Inquiry may contain unmasked, full Social Security Number information
for individual producers. It is not possible to configure the system to
mask or hide these values in the report results. However, using a
security role setting, a user with administrator permissions may deny
other users the permission to run this inquiry or view inquiry results
requested by other users. For more information, see Maintain
Security Role.
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.
