If a value for Term is captured, the Maturity Date will be derived as per existing functionality.
If a value for Maturity Date is captured, the system will perform validation in terms of the Fund Rules as per the existing functionality.
If a value for Maturity Age is captured, the Maturity Date will be derived based on the Member’s age as at Date of Commencement and the value for Maturity Age captured. This will be validated in terms of the Fund rules as per existing functionality.
The system will create a Member Values record to record the Maturity Date, Sum Assured and Employer information.

Where there is a maximum and minimum value for the Term, a Product Term must be created in the Benefit Rules with a Description of MAXIMUM TERM when the product is launched.
A minimum and maximum scale can be setup for this Product. The From value on the Scale linked to the Benefit Product will define the minimum and the To value the maximum.
A Package with a Purpose of Validation must be linked to the Benefit Event with an Event Category of MATURITY.

If the value captured or derived for Term is greater than the To value on the Scale, the following error message will be displayed:
