Insurance Policy Administration manages operational activities associated with an insurance policy after the policy has been established, including changes during its lifecycle, payment schedules, and commission-related processing.
Salesforce identifies endorsements as a core policy transaction. An endorsement represents a mid-term change to an existing policy and can produce a corresponding premium adjustment. Policy Administration maintains policy versions and the resulting transaction history so the insurer can preserve both the previous and updated policy state.
Policy Administration also includes Policy Payment Schedules, which define the agreed payment plan between the insurer and policyholder and cover premiums, taxes, fees, and scheduled payment entries. Salesforce ' s Policy Administration documentation additionally provides dedicated functionality to track commissions, making commissions part of the supported policy-management lifecycle.
Approvals and underwriting occur primarily in other portions of the insurance lifecycle. Underwriting evaluates risk and determines whether and under what conditions insurance should be offered, while approval mechanisms can participate in broader workflows. They are not the three policy-administration processes identified here.
Therefore, the processes aligned with Policy Administration are Endorsements, Payments, and Commissions, covering policy modification, financial servicing, and producer or intermediary compensation after policy issuance.
