The Master Guide is a planning tool that helps you to design your system landscape. It refers
you to the required detailed documentation, mainly:
Installation guides for single software units
SAP Notes
Constraints
The business scenarios that are presented here serve as examples of how you can use
SAP software in your company. The business scenarios are only intended as models and
do not necessarily run the way they are described here in your customer-specific system
landscape. Ensure to check your requirements and systems to determine whether these
scenarios can be used productively at your site. Furthermore, we recommend that you
test these scenarios thoroughly in your test systems to ensure they are complete and free
of errors before going live.
This Master Guide primarily discusses the overall technical implementation of SAP for
Insurance, rather than its subordinate components. This means that additional software
dependencies might exist without being mentioned explicitly in this document. You can
find more information on component-specific software dependencies in the corresponding
installation guides.

2. SAP Enhancement Packages
2. SAP Enhancement Packages
This general chapter only applies to the insurance scenarios belonging to SAP
enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0.
2.1 Enhancement Package Key Concept
We have adapted our major release strategy to better fit your adoption cycle. To ensure that
you benefit from new developments and innovations while minimizing the impact on your core
operational systems, SAP uses enhancement packages to speed up the delivery of new
functions.
With SAP enhancement packages, you can install and activate new functions depending on
your business needs without having to perform a system upgrade.
You can selectively implement the new functions and activate the software upon business
demand. As a result, you can isolate the impact of software updates and make new functions
available faster due to shortened test cycles.
Implementation
There are three different scenarios to implement an enhancement package:
Installation of an enhancement package on an existing SAP system
New installation of an SAP system including an enhancement package
Upgrade of an SAP system including an enhancement package
The installation process of enhancement packages consists of two different steps:
Technical installation of an enhancement package
Activation of new functions using the switch framework technology
You have a choice on both levels – installation and activation. You do not need to install a full
enhancement package. Instead, you can update the software components that are related to
the functional enhancements you want to use.
Keep in mind that you cannot mix the installation of different enhancement package
versions in your ABAP-based SAP system. You can have just one enhancement
package version in the SAP system.
From a business point of view, functional enhancements are grouped into business
functions (BFs). The technical installation of the business functions does not change
the system behavior. The new functions are available in the system, but are not
active. After the installation, no user interface or process change takes place. You
must explicitly activate new functions so that they become visible in the system. As a
result, changes are predictable and there are no side effects as only the activated
areas change.
With the switch framework technology (transaction SFW5), it is possible to control the
activation of new SAP objects in ABAP-based SAP systems. The activation process triggers
a background job that automatically performs all changes in the SAP system.
You cannot reverse a business function once it is activated.
After you have activated a business function, you can see the changes and new
developments in the SAP system, for example:
Menu entries
New screens
New fields on the application user interfaces
IMG activities required for the implementation

2. SAP Enhancement Packages
New table entries in Customizing tables and system tables
You can create a transport request with the current settings of the switch framework. You can
check functional changes and the impact of an activated business function in advance in the
business function documentation.
Test the installation and activation on a sandbox system.
Maintenance
SAP enhancement packages have Support Packages of their own that are equivalent to the
Support Package versions of the underlying SAP system. You must install the enhancement
package in combination with the latest available Support Package stack. This approach
reduces installation, modification adjustment, and testing effort. Using this strategy, you can
install SAP enhancement packages as a normal maintenance activity together with Support
Package stacks.
An enhancement package requires a specific Support Package stack level in the source
release SAP system.
If the SAP system is on a lower Support Package stack level, all relevant Support
Package stacks are automatically included into the download queue, as well as the
latest available Support Packages for the enhancement package.
Tools
The enhancement package installation requires the following tools:
SAP Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer
Use of SAP Solution Manager is mandatory: Ensure that you have
installed SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 SP23 or any higher support
package. With respect to update and maintenance processes (for example
transaction SMSY and Maintenance Optimizer), SAP Solution Manager 7.0
EHP1 is sufficient. There is no need to upgrade to SAP Solution Manager
7.1.
Also ensure that you have correctly defined and maintained your system
landscape in SAP Solution Manager (transaction SMSY). To verify and
potentially correct your system landscape, SAP highly recommends using
Landscape Verification 1.0 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0, which is an add-on
to your SAP Solution Manager 7.0 system. This add-on allows you to identify
and correct issues in your SAP Solution Manager landscape (transaction
SMSY) before they cause problems, for example, during a system update.
Examples for errors are a missing connection to the System Landscape
Directory or the wrong assignment of products to technical systems. For
each type of error, a generic description how to solve it is provided.
Before installing the enhancement package, we recommend that you
install the landscape verification add-on to check your landscape set-up and
data (transaction SMSY) and to correct it if necessary.
Installation or upgrade tools (depending on your scenario)
The SAP Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer (accessible from the Change
Management work center) supports the download of a consistent queue that includes all
necessary Support Packages and enhancement packages. In addition, SAP Solution
Manager calculates a valid import queue for the selected SAP system and generates the
enhancement package stack configuration file that you require for the installation.
For the new installation of an SAP system including enhancement package as well as for the
upgrade of an SAP system to a higher release including an enhancement package, you use
the standard installation and upgrade tools (SAPinst, SAPup and SAPJup). To install an
enhancement package on an existing SAP system, you use the SAP Enhancement Package
Installer (SAPehpi). It allows enhancement packages to be installed with reduced downtime.
SAPehpi uses the shadow system installation strategy, a well-known feature in the upgrade
technology.

2. SAP Enhancement Packages
2.2 Key Facts About Enhancement
Packages
The following list summarizes important facts about the enhancement package concept and
recommended approaches:
Install only selected parts of the enhancement package. The selection is driven by
the functional need from a business point of view.
You cannot mix the installation of different enhancement package versions in your
ABAP-based SAP system. You can have just one enhancement package version in
the SAP system. This means, if you have already updated technical usages to a
previous EHP you need to apply the current EHP to those components as well.
SAP enhancement packages are cumulative, meaning that each new enhancement
package includes new innovations of its own as well as all innovations delivered with
prior packages.
We recommend installing the latest available enhancement package version.
Install enhancement packages and Support Packages in one single step (this
includes the preconditioned Support Packages).
SAP enhancement packages have Support Packages of their own that are equivalent
to the Support Package versions of the underlying SAP system.
SAP enhancement packages have the same maintenance period as the underlying
core application.
The installation of an enhancement package is irreversible.
As long as you do not activate a business function, the installation of an
enhancement package has no impact on existing business processes or user
interfaces.
You can only activate business functions in ABAP-based systems, not in Java-based
SAP systems.
The activation of most business functions and extension sets is irreversible. Only a
small number of business functions is reversible.
Test the installation process and activation of new functions in advance on a sandbox
system. Ensure that you evaluate the runtime and the SAP system behavior, its
dependencies and impacts. Make sure that your SAP system is free of errors before
going live.
2.3 Enhancement Package Implementation
In the following section, you will find an overview of the steps involved in the three different
enhancement package implementation scenarios.
Enhancement Package Installation in an Existing SAP System
Process
1. You choose which of the new functions are interesting for your business.
2. You analyze the landscape dependencies.
3. You identify the enhancement package you want to install.
4. You make sure that you have set up your SAP Solution Manager system for the
download of packages, and that the Maintenance Optimizer is configured.
5. You download the installation queue.

2. SAP Enhancement Packages
6. You perform the installation.
7. You analyze the impact of the business function activation with the dependency
analyzer and impact analyzer (transaction SFW5).
8. You activate the business functions.
9. You perform additional Customizing, if necessary.
10. You test the new functions.
Tools
SAP Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer (mandatory)
Software Update Manager (SUM)
Switch framework with Dependency Analyzer and Impact Analyzer in SAP Solution
Manager (transaction SFW5)
New Installation of an SAP System with Enhancement Packages
Process
1. You install the SAP system.
The installation of SAP ERP 6.0 including enhancement package 6 comprises the
technical usage Central Applications. The installation of the technical usage Central
Applications implies that the system is ready for use without installing any further
technical usages. Of course, you can optionally install additional technical usages.
2. If you want to install further technical usages:
a. You identify the relevant installable parts of the enhancement package.
b. You make sure that you have set up your SAP Solution Manager system for
the download of packages, and that you have configured the Maintenance
Optimizer.
c. You download the installation queue.
d. You perform the installation.
e. You activate the business functions using the switch framework (transaction
SFW5).
3. You perform the Customizing for the SAP system.
4. You test the SAP system.
Tools
Standard Installation tool SAPinst
Software Update Manager (SUM) or SAINT to install additional technical usages
In this scenario, you can use transaction SAINT for installing additional technical
usages, because software component SAP_APPL 6.05 is already present in your system
(part of technical usage Central Applications). This is a prerequisite for using SAINT.

Manager (transaction SFW5)
Upgrade to an SAP System Including an Enhancement Package
Installation
Customers who are upgrading from a lower release to an SAP system for which
enhancement packages are available can include parts of enhancement packages into the
upgrade process.
The use of SAP Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer is mandatory if you
want to include enhancement packages in your release upgrade.
18 May 2017
2. SAP Enhancement Packages
Process
1. You plan the upgrade to the new release. Decide which parts of the enhancement
package you want to include into the upgrade procedure before you start with the
upgrade.
2. You identify the relevant installable parts of the enhancement package.
3. You make sure that you have set up your SAP Solution Manager system for the
download of packages, and that you have configured the Maintenance Optimizer.
4. You download the required parts of enhancement packages and Support Packages
as well as the enhancement package stack configuration file.
5. You perform the upgrade including parts of the enhancement package.
The upgrade program asks if you want to include parts of an enhancement package
into the upgrade process.
6. You activate the business functions using the switch framework (transaction SFW5).
7. You perform the delta Customizing for the SAP system.
8. You test the SAP system.

3 Business Scenarios of SAP for Insurance
3.2 SAP Collections & Disbursements for
Insurance
SAP Customer Billing and Payments contains the following business scenarios:
Sales Accounting Direct Payer
Sales Accounting Direct Debit and Credit
Financial Customer Care
3.2.1 Sales Accounting Direct Payer
Overview
Insurance companies can use this business scenario to process premium payments that
have been initiated directly by insurance customers.
You create an invoice and send this to the insurance customers. The customer then pays this
invoice amount, with a bank transfer or check. The customer can also pay the invoice
electronically, using the Internet, if you offer an appropriate portal.
The system provides all functions required to process these incoming payments
automatically. The processes include reading an electronic account statement from the bank
and all processes up to the assignment of the incoming payment to open items. The system
supports various incoming payment forms.
If no incoming payment exists within the specified payment deadline, you can generate a
dunning notice and start the dunning process.

3.3 SAP Incentive and Commission
Management for Insurance
SAP Incentive and Commission Management for Insurance contains the following business
scenario:
Sales Force Management
3.3.1 Sales Force Management
Overview
Insurance products are sold through a number of distribution channels. Particularly for
products such as life insurance that rely on verbal communication with customers, a
dedicated sales force is required. The Sales Force Management scenario focuses on this
particular distribution channel.
Insurance companies use this business scenario to reproduce their sales structures and set
up flexible incentive systems. You use standard agreements as the basis for creating
individual agreements and settling commission cases.
SAP Incentive and Commission Management for Insurance provides all the functions to
enable you to flexibly map your sales organization. Clerks and commission recipients are
assigned to their corresponding units. You define and maintain standard agreements for
commission contracts and determine the basis for calculating participations, valuations,
remuneration, settlement, liability and guarantees. From these, you derive individual
agreements for the calculation of commission cases.
Credentialing helps you in setting up and managing for your sales partners the credentials
that are required in the context of legal regulations or other needs. With portfolio assignment,
you manage the relationships between your sales force and your customers or insurance
policy portfolio (Book of Business).

(CRM)
Customer Analysis and Marketing (CRM) contains the following business scenario:
Customer Analysis and Marketing
3.4.1 Customer Analysis and Marketing
Overview
Insurance companies can use this business scenario to conduct their closed loop marketing
and campaign management.
The analytical findings can help you to identify valuable customers, lucrative cross-selling
potential, and attractive market/customer segments. You can then contact customers directly
through campaigns. These campaigns will usually be multi-level promotional efforts that are
performed through different distribution channels (or centrally/decentralized, for example).
Campaigns can also be automated (depending on the relevant response behavior, for
example). You can monitor the reaction behavior and the success of the campaign, and
introduce further measures as necessary. The system consolidates the campaign results and
compares the results at the level of the overall marketing plan.
mySAP Customer Relationship Management, in conjunction with SAP BW and SAP R/3,
provides all functions required to map closed loop marketing and campaign management.

3.5 SAP Financial Asset Management
SAP Financial Asset Management contains the following business scenarios:
Portfolio Management
Portfolio Accounting
Portfolio Controlling
SAP Financial Asset Management (SAP FAM) is a solution for the management and controlling
of an insurance company’s financial investments.
The solution covers investments in a broad range of financial instruments in the areas of money
markets, securities, loans, foreign exchange and derivatives. The management process for
these instruments ranges from the initial entry of financial transactions all the way to general
ledger accounting.
The controlling element of the solution automatically retrieves all information about financial
assets and liabilities available within the system. In addition, financial market data such as
interest or exchange rates are imported from market data providers. Based on this
information, the solution carries out analyses of market risk, default risk and performance
associated with the company’s financial assets and liabilities. It also offers a flexible limit
management solution.
3.5.1 Portfolio Management
Overview
Portfolio Management encompasses operative control of the funds invested by your
insurance company in the various portfolios. Taking the investment strategy and liquidity
restrictions into account, trading decisions are derived and put into practice to optimize risk
and expected return for the portfolio under analysis.
You can analyze the current portfolio structure, as well as corresponding risks, returns, and
liquidity constraints. Based on these results, you can derive trading decisions and enter
closed financial contracts into the system.
Technical System Landscape
Modules contained in the solution:
Treasury and Risk Management - Transaction Manager (FIN-FSCM-TRM-TM)
SAP Transaction Manager covers the operative management and subledger
accounting for securities, money market instruments, foreign exchange and
derivatives.
Treasury and Risk Management - Market Risk Analyzer (FIN-FSCM-TRM-MR)
SAP Market Risk Analyzer is used for the analysis of market risk the company is
exposed to due to its holdings of financial assets and liabilities
Treasury and Risk Management - Credit Risk Analyzer (FIN-FSCM-TRM-CR)
SAP Credit Risk Analyzer is used for the analysis of credit risk the company is exposed
to due to its holdings of financial assets and also includes a limit management system.
Treasury and Risk Management - Portfolio Analyzer (FIN-FSCM-TRM-PA)
SAP Portfolio Analyzer is used for the analysis of financial performance of the financial
assets held by the company.
Financial Services - Loans Management (FS-CML)
SAP Loans Management covers the operative management and subledger accounting
for mortgage loans, policy loans, promissory note loans and other loans.
34 May 2017

3.5.2 Portfolio Accounting
Overview
Portfolio Accounting enables you to perform follow-up processing of the financial transactions
that your company has concluded in Portfolio Management. Processes include back-office
activities such as settlement, correspondence processing, interest rate fixings, payment
processing and reflection of corporate actions, as well as the entire area of subledger
accounting.
The subledger accounting activities related to financial investments of your insurance
company form the core element of Portfolio Accounting. They include initial recognition of
financial transactions, automatic valuations and period-end processing and de-recognition of
disinvested positions along with calculation of all realized gains/losses.
In Portfolio Accounting, an arbitrary number of accounting standards can be set up in parallel.
The accounting rules engine is highly flexible, allowing for the reflection of a large range of
national as well as international accounting standards.
Portfolio Accounting is fully integrated with SAP general ledger solutions. Accounting-relevant
information is transferred automatically to general ledger accounting and is thus available for
consolidation processes.

3.5.3 Portfolio Controlling
Overview
You can use this business scenario to monitor the financial assets held by your insurance
company with regard to market risk, credit risk, financial performance and compliance to
internal or regulatory limits.
Analysis of market risk and financial performance is carried out along freely definable
portfolio hierarchies. Risk can be evaluated based on current market data or on hypothetical
market data scenarios that can be defined.
New transactions and changes to financial transactions/positions carried out in Portfolio
Management and Portfolio Accounting are automatically transferred to Portfolio Controlling.
Vice versa, net present values calculated in Portfolio Controlling can be used for fair-value
based accounting valuations carried out in Portfolio Accounting. To ensure full data
consistency, the same market data is used for both accounting and controlling.

3 Business Scenarios of SAP for Insurance
3.7.1 Application Processing and Policy
Issuance (New Business)
Overview
This scenario comprises the activities spanning from data entry or data transfer of a signed
application through to the final issuance or refusal of the policy. Various consistency checks,
risk assessments, and premium and benefit calculations take place, with varying degrees of
complexity depending on the product design. If a change option is required, the processor
creates one and sends it to the customer, requesting approval.
As a standard, you can schedule the update run daily. The update run executes all the
activities scheduled for a specific policy and product. Examples of these activities are
premium splitting, updating payment transaction data, or dividend usage.
At the end of the scenario, a new policy is either issued or refused.

3 Business Scenarios of SAP for Insurance
3.7.2 Mid-Term Policy Changes and Information
Overview
This scenario comprises all the changes made to an insurance policy and requests for
information by authorized persons that are handled during the policy's term. Changes can be
triggered either by participants in the policy (such as the policyholder or beneficiary) or by the
insurer.
At the end of the scenario, the policy is changed according to the change request, assuming
that the request is feasible and was accepted by the insurer. The policy processor has
handled a request for information successfully and fully.

44 May 2017
3 Business Scenarios of SAP for Insurance
3.7.3 Policy Maintenance
Overview
This scenario comprises, on the one hand, changes to in-force policies that are triggered by
the insurer (for instance, in transfer businesses or policy cancellations) and, on the other, the
regular updating of in-force policies.
The changes to policies initiated by the insurer are usually the result of manual activities of a
processor that are triggered by certain situations or events, or else as a result of
organizational requirements for the in-force policies. Depending on the type of change, the
processor requests the customer's approval for the planned change. The customer's
feedback has an effect on the policy.
The system manages the regular maintenance and update of in-force policies in SAP Policy
Management (FS-PM). Activities are regularly performed in background processing. These
automatically update both the lifecycle of the policy as well as the calculation of the sums
insured (such as fund assets or sums insured at specific times), up to the expiry date of the
policy.
FS-PM can also consider planned and unplanned processes that are determined outside of
the system.
Policies are usually updated in a mass run. However it is also possible that only the
processor (user) triggers these updates, as in the case of a retroactive change that causes
FS-PM to update the policy up to a certain target date.
