SchemeServe allows commission percentages to be controlled at Risk Group level through the rating file. Each Risk Group has a unique system ID that can be referenced directly in the rating file, allowing different commissions to be applied based on the selected risk.

Finding the Risk Group ID

Method 1: From the Question Set

1. Navigate to the Question Set.
2. Locate the Risk Group.
3. Each Risk Group entry will have its own unique ID.

Method 2: Using Browser Inspect 

This will provide you with the full system ID:

1. Open the matrix screen.
2. Locate the commission field or relevant Risk Group.
3. Right-click and select Inspect.
4. Look for the field ID.

Example:

id="CommissionFromInsurer_9705_rate"

The Risk Group ID is:

9705

The full system identifier is:

CommissionFromInsurer_9705

Setting Commission in the Rating File

Commission values are set using the Risk Group ID.

Example

For Risk Group ID 9705:

SetRate:CommissionFromInsurer_9705

This creates a commission rate variable for that specific Risk Group.

Applying a Commission Percentage

To set a commission of 30% from insurer or 10% to broker:

SetRate:CommissionFromInsurer_9705
30

SetRate:Commission_9705_IndexLevel0
10

Verifying the Result

After updating the rating file:

1. Save and publish the product.
2. Run a test quotation.
3. Review the Net Total section.

Example:

Confirm that the expected percentage is being applied to the selected Risk Group.

Notes

• Every Risk Group has its own unique ID.
• Commission rates must be set separately for each Risk Group.
• Browser Inspect is often the quickest way to identify the exact system variable name.
• The number appended to CommissionFromInsurer_XXXX is the Risk Group ID and must match the Risk Group configured in the Question Set.
