Populate each field you need mapped. Policy Number and Carrier Commission are required to create a map.
Rate Type: If you indicate % of Premium, tell us which column that rate is in using the Rate field. If you indicate Flat Amount, tell us which column that amount is in using the Amount field. If you indicate Per Life, tell us which column the number of lives in is using the Number of Lives column.
Notes: Use this section to leave any notes about the statement that you think the developer working on the mapping needs to know. When a developer fulfills the request, an email will be sent to the email address of the user that submitted the request.
