Understanding the Product and Financial Components

After hunting around for information on how the Curam product and financial components work, I still find it a bit hard to grasp.  So to help keep my sanity I am documenting some scenarios of what happens.  Hopefully other people can document other scenarios as comments to help others.

Capturing Manual Payment

When capturing a manual payment, it has to be associate with a product delivery case.  When the product delivery is activated and payments are generated, it will create a payment containing the difference between what was already paid and what is not.

Financial Components

Financial components are created on product delivery activation.  It actually creates it until the expected end date or certification period.

On activation, the deferred process actually runs an assessment for each date that matches the delivery frequency pattern. This prevents the rules from being executed every day which can take a long while.

Overpayment and Underpayment Cases

It seems that Overpayment and Underpayment cases are only generated when the product is certifiable.  This is done by a batch process.  The cases get created when there is a change in evidence that is applied and the batch process is run.
