• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICL_BRF_PLUS068 - Date of loss &1 is before the start date of the contract &2 ?

  The SAP error message ICL_BRF_PLUS068 indicates that there is a date inconsistency in the insurance claim processing. Specifically, it means that the date of loss (the date when the incident occurred) is earlier than the start date of the insurance contract. This situation typically arises in insurance claims processing when the claim is submitted for an event that occurred before the policy was in effect.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Date Entry: The date of loss may have been entered incorrectly in the system.
  Policy Start Date: The start date of the insurance contract may not have been set correctly or may have been misunderstood.
  Policy Coverage: The event leading to the claim may have occurred before the policy was active, which means the claim is not valid.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Dates: Check the date of loss and the start date of the insurance contract. Ensure that the date of loss is on or after the contract start date.
  Correct Data Entry: If the date of loss is incorrect, update it to reflect the accurate date. If the contract start date is incorrect, it may need to be adjusted based on the policy terms.
  Review Policy Terms: Ensure that the claim falls within the coverage period of the insurance policy. If the loss occurred before the policy start date, the claim may need to be denied.
  Consult with Underwriting: If there are discrepancies or if the policy terms are unclear, consult with the underwriting department to clarify the coverage and terms of the policy.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Insurance Policy Details: Review the insurance policy documentation to understand the coverage period and any exclusions.
  Claim Processing Guidelines: Familiarize yourself with the claim processing guidelines within your organization to ensure compliance with policy terms.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP help documentation for further details on error messages related to claims processing and how to handle them.
  
  By addressing the date discrepancies and ensuring that the claim aligns with the policy terms, you can resolve the error and proceed with the claims process.
