Having analyzed your business requirements, you are now in a position to start the implementation of your eligibility and entitlement calculations for your product. A default eligibility and entitlement rule set is automatically created for benefit products by the dynamic product wizard, and this rule set should be edited in line with the guidelines below to suit your product needs. The default name of this default eligibility and entitlement rule set is ProductNameWithBlankSpacesRemoved DefaultEligibilityEntitlementRuleSet, but it is possible to override the name of this rule set on the Eligibility Determination page of the dynamic product wizard. It is also possible to create a new eligibility and entitlement rule set for your product, which should follow the guidelines below.
If your product is complex, then consider sketching out the implementation rule classes on paper or in an object-oriented modelling tool prior to creating CER rule sets. You can then use the sketch to validate your rule classes against various business scenarios.
The rule classes that you create will end up interrelating so it will be useful to keep these interrelationships in mind as you implement your rule classes. The sections below this provide a step-by-step path to implement your eligibility/entitlement calculations.
