Read the first 7 ACORD Expert Messaging & Forms Implementation flashcards as text

  1. Which ACORD XML namespace prefix is conventionally associated with the ACORD P&C and Surety data model?

    Answer: No prefix; ACORD elements use the default namespace

    ACORD XML documents typically declare ACORD elements in the default namespace, so no prefix is used on ACORD-defined elements.

  2. An insurer's system rejects an ACORD Real-Time endorsement request with MsgStatusCd='Error' and ExtStatusCd='9001'. What should the agency system do first?

    Answer: Log the error, display the ExtStatusDesc to the user, and halt automatic retry

    On an Error response, the system should log the error code and description, present it to the user, and not auto-retry, as retrying an errored transaction may cause duplicate processing.

  3. What is the function of the ACORD 'WorkProduct' construct in the ACORD XML architecture?

    Answer: Provides a container for documents and data that are collaboratively worked on across systems

    WorkProduct is an ACORD XML container that holds related documents and data objects as they move through collaborative business processes across trading partners.

  4. In the ACORD IVANS eDocs standard, what does the 'DocClassCd' value 'PLCY' represent?

    Answer: Policy declaration pages and policy documents

    DocClassCd='PLCY' in ACORD IVANS eDocs identifies the document class as Policy documents, such as declarations pages and policy forms.

  5. Which ACORD form is the standard Vehicle Schedule used to list multiple vehicles on a commercial auto policy?

    Answer: ACORD 137

    ACORD 137 is the Vehicle Schedule form used to list individual vehicles covered under a commercial auto policy.

  6. When implementing ACORD XML for a carrier rating gateway, what is the significance of the 'QuoteValidUntilDt' element in a quote response?

    Answer: It specifies the date by which the agency must bind coverage at the quoted premium

    QuoteValidUntilDt tells the agency the last date on which the returned quoted premium is guaranteed, after which a re-quote may be required.

  7. What ACORD implementation best practice governs how an agency system should handle an ACORD XML response that contains an unknown element not in the version of the schema it has implemented?

    Answer: Ignore unknown elements and process the known elements (forward-compatible parsing)

    ACORD best practices call for forward-compatible parsing: systems should ignore unrecognized elements so older implementations remain interoperable with newer schema additions.
