You can produce Annual and/or Quarterly Schedules at any time after you run the ISTAR Refresh/Valuation for the month.
To run the schedules on a preliminary basis, you set the Report Date equal to the Month End Date that relates to the Statutory Reporting Period. Preliminary schedules are appropriate to monitor transaction activity, position information, and identify missing ISTAR and NAIC data. You must resolve ISTAR NAIC data issues before you can produce final schedules.
Several lookup queries assist with identifying and correcting issues with ISTAR NAIC data:
- List DK Lot Activity. Under Insurance > Research > Lot Level Data.
- List Client/Entity Relationships. Under Setup > Insurance > Clients.
- Refresh/Valuation Status Report. Under the Insurance > Processing > Status Reports.
- List Preliminary Data Validations. Under Insurance > Control Reports > Exceptions. This query identifies holdings that may DK or that are missing a price for a specified month end period. You can submit for all exceptions, DK and/or missing price, allowing validation for these conditions prior to executing an ISTAR Refresh.
The following table lists issues, reports, and the corrective actions to take prior to rerunning the ISTAR Refresh/Valuation process, for several troubleshooting scenarios.
