Cost adapter methods

Create Transactions

The createTransaction method creates a Transaction object in the given policy period branch that is appropriate for the Cost type. The method signature is:

Transaction createTransaction( PolicyPeriod branch )

Get Reinsurable

The getReinsurable method gets the single reinsurable that is associated with this cost. The method signature is:

Reinsurable getReinsurable()

This method returns null if the cost does not represent a premium. For example, a cost for taxes or fees does not represent a premium.

Get Coverable

Implement a getter for the Coverable property. The getter returns a coverable if there is a coverable associated with this cost. Impact testing uses this getter. The signature is:

override property get Coverable()

This getter returns the coverable associated with this cost or null if this cost is not associated with a coverable. This method can return null if impact testing is not enabled for this line of business.

Get Name of Coverable

Implement a getter for the NameOfCoverable property.

The signature is:

override property get NameOfCoverable()

The getter returns the name of the coverable if there is a coverable associated with this cost. The name is usually, but not always, equivalent to the display name or the coverable. An exception is in the Personal Auto line. All premium costs are computed with respect to a vehicle. The getNameOfCoverable returns the DisplayName of the vehicle even where getCoverable returns the Personal Auto Line instance.

Is Matching Bean

For reporting differences, returns true if the two beans are a match. The signature is:

override function isMatchingBean(bean : KeyableBean)

The bean parameter is the other bean to compare with this one.

Get Policy Line

Implement a getter that returns the PolicyLine associated with this cost. The signature is:

override property get PolicyLine()
