Add parameters to rate table definition used in active rate book

About this task

This example uses the Generic RTM Demo Rating rate book from the sample data. This is an active rate book. This rate book includes the GenericStateTax rate table and the Generic State Tax Calculation rate routine. Because the rate book is active, you can only add a parameter with higher priority than existing parameters. To use the parameter, you must also add a new argument source set.

To add the parameter to the rate table definition:

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the rate book, Generic RTM Demo Rating.

    The status is active.

  2. Under the Included Rate Tables tab, click to view the rate table, GenericStateTax.

    The rate table content contains one parameter column for Jurisdiction.

  3. Navigate to the rate table definition of GenericStateTax and edit it.
  4. On the Parameters tab, Add a new parameter named NewParamHighPriority.
  5. Fill in all required fields, and set the priority to 20, higher than parameters already defined.
  6. On the Argument Sources tab, click Add Source Set.

    The source set contains both parameters.

  7. Specify a name and code for the source set.
  8. Click Update to save your changes.

    PolicyCenter displays an error message if the priority of the parameter is not high enough.

What to do next

Now that you have added the parameter, you can view it in the active rate book. See View the parameter in the active rate book.
