The eligibility and entitlement engine generates financial components from case decisions. When there is more than one nominee assigned to the same rules objective over time, the eligibility and entitlement engine generates the financial components for each nominee from the same stored case decisions. To generate these financial components, the eligibility and entitlement engine uses the case decision period and the nominee delivery period. When there is more than one nominee assigned to the same rules objective, the eligibility and entitlement engine must create financial components for these nominees separately. This is to account for the different delivery patterns for each nominee. This section describes the financial components generated for James Smith and Linda Smith based on the sample data. Note that James Smith's delivery pattern is weekly in advance on a Friday, whereas Linda Smith's delivery pattern is weekly in arrears on a Monday.
