FundCategoryOrder

The FundCategoryOrder system rule provides definition that turns on the fund categorization feature and provides the order that the categories will display on the Policy Values screen and the Valuation tab of processed activities. When this feature is turned off, Funds are presented on the screens without categorization in an order defined by the AssignmentProcessing rule. When this feature is turned on, categories are presented in an order defined by this rule and the Funds within each category are presented as defined by the AssignmentProcessing rule.

Any Fund not defined under a category will be presented as Uncategorized. If this rule does not define a category presentation order, the categories are displayed in alphabetical order by their category labels. This rule has a context of Plan and Primary Company.

The Fund Categorization feature allows funds to be categorized under specific topics which are also configurable. Categorization is suitable for multiple uses such as taxable and non-taxable funds, variable and non-variable funds or another organization that the customer wants. Categorization codes are defined under the AsCodePlanFundCategory code table.

Note: The rule is in a plan context so it can have definitions at the Global, Sub company, Product hierarchy and Plan. To accommodate GroupCustomers, the definition can be Global and Primary Company.
