Claims
Open Claims and press + Intimate claim (or intimate it from the policy). You need ins.claims.
| Field | Fill |
|---|---|
| Policy | Type in Find policy |
| Loss date | Must fall within the policy's cover |
| Intimated on | When the client told you (today by default) |
| Estimate | The estimated loss |
| Location | Where it happened |
| What happened | The loss description — kept encrypted |
The claim gets a number (ICM-…) and starts as Intimated. Add the Insurer claim no. when the insurer gives one.
Survey records the Surveyor, the Survey date and the survey Report (encrypted).
Status. The buttons on the claim show only the next steps allowed:
| From | Can go to |
|---|---|
| Intimated | Documents pending, Under review, Withdrawn |
| Documents pending | Under review, Withdrawn |
| Under review | Documents pending, Approved (with the Approved amount), Rejected (with a Reason), Withdrawn |
| Approved | Settled (with the Settled amount, Settled on date and Settlement ref.), or back to Under review |
| Rejected | Under review |
Settled and Withdrawn are final. Each change can carry a Note. With SMS the client about this change ticked (and the setting on), the client gets a text; the client also sees the claim's status on their policy page.
Notes & history keeps every note, status change, survey and notification, with who and when. Notes are encrypted. Add photos and claim forms with + Document.
The Claims list has a tab per status, and the policy page lists its claims.
Remittances to insurers
When you collect the premium (Agency collects), you owe the insurer the premium, tax and stamp duty less your commission. Open Remittances to insurers:
- Choose the Insurer and Dues up to a date. The preview lists the dues not yet remitted — with Remit to insurers only premium collected on, only those the client has paid — and any refunds, which reduce the total. It shows the premium, your commission and the net you owe.
- Choose the Bill date, add Notes and press Create bill for …. Hayat makes one Purchasing bill to the insurer (
IRM-…, supplierINS-…), net of commission, with no withholding. - Pay the remittance: Method (Bank or Cash), Reference, Date. It becomes a Purchasing supplier payment, so your payment approval rules apply; you can also pay the bill from the Purchasing screens.
Opening an insurer shows its statement: premium collected but not remitted, invoiced but not yet collected, remitted, commission kept and — for direct billing — commission receivable, with every remittance.
Agent commissions
Agent commissions lists every commission row: policy, premium paid, basis, %, amount, Pending or Billed. Choose an Agent and Bill rows up to a date, then Bill agent …: Hayat makes one Purchasing bill to the agent (supplier AGT-…) for the pending rows — only rows whose premium is paid when Bill agent commission only when the premium is paid is on; refunds (negative rows) always. Withholding tax follows Purchasing; pay the bill in Purchasing. Needs ins.manage.
Commission receipts
For direct-billed policies (Insurer collects) the insurer pays you your commission. Open Commission receipts, pick the insurer and Receive: Amount (up to what is outstanding), Method, Reference, Date. Hayat records it (ICR-…) and spreads it over that insurer's policies, oldest first. Needs ins.manage.
Reports
Open Insurance reports, choose the report, Group by where offered, Insurer, From / To (the last 12 months by default) and press Run. CSV downloads it for Excel.

| Renewals due | Policies ending within the days you choose (30 by default): client, phone, insurer, product, end, days left, premium, reminded, renewal started |

Hayat Reports (see Hayat Reports) has two Hayat Insurance datasets for your own charts and dashboards — one row per issued policy (premium, tax, commission, refunds, sum insured…) and one row per claim (estimate, approved, settled, days to settle) — for anyone with ins.view.
