Enums

Enums is a static holder class in SAIF.Business.Policy that groups the domain's fixed-value enumerations (market type, original user type, financial system, payroll report frequency, sales plan, policy issuance system, policy relationship, renewal/cancellation track, waiver type, policy ownership system, rating plan, and entity group) together with the paired Convert* overloaded functions that translate between each enum and its persisted database code string. This is the central translation point through which raw database codes become strongly-typed enum values throughout the policy domain, per BR-POL-003.

Purpose

• House the nested enumerations that represent the closed, fixed sets of domain codes used across policy processing (market types, user types, financial systems, etc.).
• Provide Convert* overload pairs — one overload converting an enum value to its persisted code string, the other converting a persisted code string to the corresponding enum value — for each enumeration that has a known database code mapping.
• Return a safe default/Unknown/Unassigned enum value when a persisted code does not match a recognized value, per BR-POL-004.

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Business.Policy
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Business.Policy

ConvertPayrollReportFrequency	Shared Function ConvertPayrollReportFrequency(PayrollReportFrequencies) As String / Shared Function ConvertPayrollReportFrequency(String) As PayrollReportFrequencies	Converts between PayrollReportFrequencies and its persisted code ("A", "M", "Q", "S"), defaulting to Unknown.
ConvertSalesPlan	Shared Function ConvertSalesPlan(SalesPlans) As String / Shared Function ConvertSalesPlan(String) As SalesPlans	Converts between SalesPlans and its persisted code ("STD", "RETRO", "GRRET"), defaulting to Unknown.

ConvertRenewalTrack	Shared Function ConvertRenewalTrack(RenewalTracks) As String / Shared Function ConvertRenewalTrack(String) As RenewalTracks	Converts between RenewalTracks and its persisted code ("MAN", "AUTO"), defaulting to Unknown.
ConvertCancellationTrack	Shared Function ConvertCancellationTrack(CancellationTracks) As String / Shared Function ConvertCancellationTrack(String) As CancellationTracks	Converts between CancellationTracks and its persisted code ("MAN", "AUTO"), defaulting to Unknown.
ConvertWaiverType	Shared Function ConvertWaiverType(WaiverTypes) As String / Shared Function ConvertWaiverType(String) As WaiverTypes	Converts between WaiverTypes and its persisted code ("A", "W", "F", "P", "T", "C"), defaulting to Unknown.
ConvertRatingPlan	Shared Function ConvertRatingPlan(RatingPlans) As String / Shared Function ConvertRatingPlan(String) As RatingPlans	Converts between RatingPlans and its persisted code ("ERP", "CRP", "MRP", "NON", "SARAP"), defaulting to Unknown.
EntityGroups (nested enum)	Public Enum EntityGroups	Represents the entity organizational structure of a policyholder (Corporation, LimitedLiabilityCompany, LimitedLiabilityPartnership, Partnership, SoleOwner, Others); has no Convert* code mapping in this class.*
PolicyOwnershipSystems (nested enum)	Public Enum PolicyOwnershipSystems	Represents which system (WCIS or SAIFQuote) currently "owns" a policy and is authorized to make changes to it, per BR-POL-010; has no Convert* code mapping in this class.

Constraints and usage notes

• Consumers should rely on the declared public surface rather than internal implementation details.

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
