Charge breakdown commissionable plugin

The charge breakdown commissionable plugin specifies to the billing system whether an individual charge breakdown in an itemized charge is commissionable. PolicyCenter triggers this plugin at the bind stage of a policy, before the policy is issued.

This plugin implements the IChargeBreakdownCommissionablePlugin interface, which has a single method, isCommissionable. A typical implementation of this method checks whether the transactions that make up a charge breakdown are commissionable. In PolicyCenter, each transaction is identified as being commissionable or not. The billing system, such as BillingCenter, does not have access to this granularity in a charge. Each charge breakdown that PolicyCenter sends to the billing system is either commissionable or not and cannot be partially commissionable.

Note: Having a mixture of commissionable and non-commissionable transactions in a charge breakdown might mean that you need to reconfigure the charge breakdowns.

PolicyCenter provides an implementation of this plugin interface in the gw.plugin.billing.bc5000.ChargeBreakdownCommissionablePlugin class. In the base configuration, taxes and surcharges are not commissionable. All other costs are commissionable. To change this behavior, you modify the isCommissionable method. For example, the following code specifies that personal auto liability is not commissionable:

if (associatedTransactions*.Cost.allMatch(\c -> c typeis PersonalAutoCovCost and c.Coverage.PatternCode == "PALiabilityCov")) {
  return false
}

This plugin has no effect if the billing system does not accept commissionable information about charge breakdowns. To instruct PolicyCenter to send commissionable information to the billing system, you must set the EnableChargeBreakdownCommissionable configuration parameter to true. The EnableChargeBreakdowns configuration parameter must also be set to true.
