Notes
Note: In all Producer Manager deployments, clicking the Next button on the Correct
License Data page always opens the Correct
Qualification Dates page, where you can data fix or protect dates
associated with the license's related lines of authority. However, your
company's specific deployment of Producer Manager may be Vertafore-configured

Maintain
CE Requirements page as a part of the license data correction "wizard"
procedure. For more information, see Configuration
Options or consult your Vertafore representative.
Tips
If you click to checkmark the Locked
From Data Reconciliation Updates checkbox to protect the license
from being updated by an automated data reconciliation operation, the
action also will protect the license's related qualifications (license
lines). It is not necessary to click the Locked
From Data Reconciliation Updates checkbox separately on the Correct Qualification Dates
page.
A firm that is the branch agency of a master agency may
share an identical EIN with the master agency. The licenses
held by both the branch and master agencies in a particular state may
be reported on the national Producer Database (PDB) identically, except
for license number. When performing an automated
data reconciliation operation and encountering a situation where a
firm entity holds multiple licenses of the same class or type in the same
state, Producer Manager ignores the information and does not update the
firm's record with PDB data from that state. Depending on your company's
business practices, this situation may require manual data upkeep of the
master and branch agencies' license data. After manually recording license
data on the master and/or branch agency records, you may checkmark the
Locked From Data Reconciliation Updates
checkbox to protect it from being overwritten inadvertently by an automated
data reconciliation operation, such as Quick
Sync Producer or Scheduled
Syncs. For more information, consult your Vertafore representative.
