Planning tool maintenance and development

The planning is done based on existing contracts which are imported from the booking system. Additional contracts can be created within the planning tool. Existing ones can be cancelled or deleted. Similiar contracts are grouped to portfolios on which three planning steps are performed:  1. Manually adjust the actual values  2. Apply deviation of parameters like premiums, costs and damages (called "business cases")  3. Manually adjust the calculated values  Pivot tables visualize the finished planning. The calculated planning data written back to the booking system is the basis for economic valuation and US GAAP reporting. Because the planning tool is used worldwide only for a limited time slot, the availability has to be guaranteed 24/7 during the planning process.
