Every policy and invoice in Newton is assigned a company code. The company profile allows you to specify default commission percentages, billing method (Agency Bill or Direct Bill), and website information by company.

Company refers to an insurance company, or policy-related finance company used with policies and insurance accounting. For administrative tasks, such as Vouchers, see the Vendor Profile.

Before You Begin

Access to view the Company Profile requires the current operator to have Security System: Profiles -> Company -> View access.

Ic info black 24dp.png See: Security System for more information.

Create a Company

Before creating a new company code, first verify a similar code does not already exist. Select Print List to preview a report of all existing company codes.

The name assigned to a company code can be modified, without creating a new company profile.

  1. From the Main Menu, select Setup -> Company.
  2. Select Create New.
  3. Enter the desired three digit number. Capital letters and numbers are both available. (Examples: AET, PR1, A01)
    Ic info black 24dp.png A company code cannot match an existing vendor code.
  4. Enter the name for the company. This name will appear in drop-down selection lists when entering data, or running reports.
  5. Press <TAB> to populate the Alpha Code.
  6. Enter a default Agency Commission amount for invoice transactions.
    Ic info black 24dp.png Default commission by class code is also available in the section below.
  7. Select the default Billing Method (Agency Bill or Direct Bill) used for invoices created with Policy & Billing.
  8. Enter the NAIC Code that will display on ACORD Forms. (Download Integration does not reference this value)
  9. Enter the NY ID Code as needed. (See Forms: New York Driver ID Card Configuration.)
  10. Enter the Parent Company if the new company is a subsidiary.
    Ic info black 24dp.png See the Parent Company section below for more information.
  11. Select the Addresses tab to enter the Accounting (Checks) and Underwriting (ACORD Forms) addresses for the company.
  12. Enter the address information and press <TAB> to step through the address fields.
  13. Select Save. (Requires Security System: Profiles -> Company -> Entry access.)
  14. Select the Contacts tab.
  15. Select Create New Contact. Contacts saved to the company are available on the Company Tab, the compose email window and more.
  16. Select the Web tab and enter the Website address. (Optionally configure Policy View).
  17. Select Exit.

Edit a Company

  1. From the Main Menu, select Setup -> Company.
  2. Select Find.
  3. Select the desired company number and select OK.
  4. Enter or modify any desired values. (Example: Name, Parent Company, Policy View, commission, active status).
  5. Select Save. (Requires Security System: Profiles -> Company-> Edit access.)
  6. Select Exit.

Delete a Company

Deleting a company should not be done if the company code has ever been used for any policy or accounting transactions. Instead, Edit the Company and change the Active Status to Inactive. Inactive company codes do not display on the company search lists, and cannot be used when creating new invoices.

  1. From the Main Menu, select Setup -> Company.
  2. Select Find.
  3. Select the desired company number and select OK.
  4. Select Delete. (Requires Security System: Profiles -> Company -> Global access.)
