What is 'prior cession group' in SAP FS-RI - Reinsurance?

prior cession group - Overview

• Component: FS-RI

• Component Name: Reinsurance

• Description: Reinsured risks with the category "Prior Cession" are depicted in the system by prior cession groups, as well as their participations. A prior cession is used if you want to create a dedicated reinsurance policy for a risk before you apply the obligatory reinsurance programs. Since several insured risks can belong to this kind of risk, these risks can be bundled in a prior cession group to form a joint prior cession. It is also possible to reinsure this group with not only one but several prior cessions. This means there are "m" risks for a prior cession group with "n" prior cessions. "m" and "n" can be independent values between one and infinity.
