Carrier Bond Numbers

Overview of Carrier Bond Numbers

Each carrier within Tinubu Surety Solution for Carriers (TSC) has a designated block of bond numbers configured to be issued whenever a new bond is purchased.  This creates a unique identifying number for the bond.  These bond numbers will be used for any bonds purchased that pertain to that carrier, except if using global bond numbers or the bond configuration is set to be in test mode. 

Accessing Carrier Bond Numbers

• Select System Tables/Carriers/[Choose a carrier]/Bond Numbers to view the bond numbers for the selected carrier.

Adding Bond Numbers to a Carrier

• Select the Add item button at the top of the table. 

  • A new line will appear to enter a new block of numbers.  Each line created will be a new block of bond numbers which will be used sequentially, according to the order given in the ‘Order’ column for each block.  Once a block has all of its bond numbers used, the system will start generating bond number from the next block.

  • The Last Number Issued column should be filled with the number immediately before the first bond number that will be used for bonds with this carrier. 

  • The Maximum Number to Issue would be the last bond number to be issued for bonds by this carrier before moving on to the next block of bond number.

  • The Prefix column is any text that should be added to the beginning of the bond number before the number from the bond number block.

  • The Suffix column is any text that should be added to the end of the bond number after the number from the bond number block.

• Select the Save Changes button at the top of the table to complete the action.

• If wanting to take away all the changes made since entering ‘Bond Numbers’ or since your last save (whichever was done last), select the Cancel Changes button at the top of the table.

• You will be prompted to confirm or cancel the action.

  • If you select Cancel this will not cancel your work, but return to your work.

• Select Back to List to return the Active Carriers.
