Allocations Pane

This pane is used for the configuration of allocations. The allocation structure and default values for entries are configured here. When allocations are configured, the Activity Details screen in OIPA will have an Allocation link. If an activity in OIPA uses allocations, then a record will be written to AsAllocation when the activity is saved.

About Allocations

Allocations are the amount or percent of money that is applied to selected investment options for a policy. An example of an investment option could be mutual funds or money market accounts, which are called funds in the system. Policy holders or other requirements can direct how money is allocated to funds. Money is applied to allocation(s) by either assigning a percentage of the total amount or an exact value amount. Allocations can be individually selected funds or part of a model.

  Steps to Configure Allocations

    • AllocationFrom: This option should be used when configuring for allocations that move money out of funds. 

    • Allocation: This option should be used when configuring for allocations that move money into funds.    

    • DefaultAllocation: This option defines a default allocation that will be displayed on the allocation section of the Activity Details screen and whether or not it can be modified. Only use this option if FundAllocation has been configured.
