Configure AL3 Acord Lines

AL3 Acord lines designate the class, department, and transaction codes of policies created by download, as well as the Acord forms that will be created with downloads. Many companies may call these coverage codes, and provide you a large index of items to be entered. Newton handles this differently than most vendors where we have completed the hard work for you. These codes may also be entered as you receive downloads. The system will prompt you to configure any new AL3 Lines as they are received.

Process
