Specifying whether costs for itemized billing are commissionable

If costs are itemized for billing, some parts of a charge might be entitled to earn commission but other parts might not. Typically, premiums earn commission, but taxes and surcharges do not. To specify which items in a charge are commissionable, PolicyCenter can send a Boolean value for each item to the billing system. Sending this value is configurable. If the billing system cannot accept commissionable information about individual costs, do not send this value. For example, whether BillingCenter can accept this value depends on the release of BillingCenter with which PolicyCenter is integrating.

In the base configuration, taxes and surcharges are not commissionable. All other costs are commissionable. To change this behavior, you modify the IChargeBreakdownCommissionablePlugin plugin.

To instruct PolicyCenter to send commissionable information about charge breakdowns to the billing system, you must set the EnableChargeBreakdownCommissionable configuration parameter to true. The EnableChargeBreakdowns system parameter must also be set to true.
