Perform SVO Data Maintenance

In the Edit SVO Codes panel, you can change the SVO NAIC category information for a security for a specific effective date, and query a history of code changes for a specific date range. You can also change the RMBS Eligibility election for a security. You can use the List SVO Codes panel to display the historical SVO information for a security.

To post SVO category codes for a security, for a given effective date:

In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Insurance > NAIC Data > SVO Codes > Edit SVO Codes.
You see the Edit SVO Codes panel.
Complete the options on the panel.
Click Submit.
The system updates the information in the SECURITYDBO.NAIC and NAIC_HIST tables and then pushes it to the ISTAR.ISTAR_XREFERENCE table via the Insurance Refresh process.
