# Business Rules Overview

The core processing within the Oracle Insurance Policy Administration (OIPA) system is controlled by a set of rules. Rules are used to configure business processing. They control the creation, display and validation of screens and provide the means for displaying, entering and processing transactions. OIPA rules are stored to the database in XML.

The Rules Palette provides visual editors that create the XML for the user for many of the screen business rules. Some rules must be configured in XML. The XML Editor is used to configure the XML and should be used in conjunction with the V9 XML Configuration Guide. View the XML Configuration Guide topic in this help system for additional information on rule configuration.

Important: For any configuration in the Rules Palette, if an element or attribute is not available in the visual editor, it can be manually configured that is necessary for your configuration in a visual editor, you can manually configure it in the rule through the XML Source Pane when the rule is open in the Configuration Area.

## Organization

Business rules are organized by type. Global rules can be accessed from the Global Rules Explorer. Overrides to those rules can be created there. Once an override is created, it can be accessed from the Global Rules Explorer in the folder for the global rule or in the Main Explorer, under the Company | Plan | Business Rules folder for the specific override.
