 +**CONTRACT-TO-CLAIMS MATCHING ENHANCEMENT: Phase 1**
 +
 +__Intelligent Scoring Implementation__
 +
 +Project Overview
 +
 +We are implementing an advanced scoring algorithm for contract-to-claims matching, leveraging the proven methodology from our existing deduction matching system. This enhancement will significantly improve matching accuracy and establish the foundation for future automation capabilities.
 +
 +__Key Features & Benefits__
 +
 +**Enhanced Decision Intelligence**
 +  * Scoring Algorithm: Implementation of a sophisticated scoring system that evaluates contract-to-claim compatibility
 +  * Data-Driven Decisions: Provides quantitative metrics to support optimal contract selection for claim matching
 +  * Future Automation Ready: Establishes the scoring framework necessary for automated matching in subsequent phases
 +
 +**Improved Search Functionality**
 +  * Intelligent Date Range Logic: When accessing claim details via the provided link, the system automatically determines the optimal search parameters
 +  * Dynamic Date Calculation:
 +  *   * Uses the claim start date as the baseline
 +  *   * Extends search period to January of the claim year
 +  *   * Includes an additional 12-month lookback period
 +  *   * Returns all qualifying contracts within this comprehensive timeframe
 +
 +**Technical Implementation**
 +  * Search Scope: 24-month maximum search window ensures comprehensive contract coverage
 +  * Performance Optimization: Focused date range reduces processing overhead while maintaining thoroughness
 +  * User Experience: Seamless integration with existing claim review workflows
 +
 +**Expected Outcomes**
 +  * Improved matching accuracy through quantitative scoring
 +  * Enhanced user confidence in contract selection decisions
 +  * Reduced manual review time for obvious matches
 +  * Foundation established for Phase 2 automation capabilities

 +
 +**Scoring Framework Overview**
 +
 +The scoring algorithm employs a comprehensive point-based system where each successfully matched field contributes to the overall compatibility score between contracts and claims. The methodology distinguishes between header-level and detail-level matching criteria to ensure accurate assessment across all contract dimensions.
 +
 +__Scoring Architecture__
 +
 +**Point Allocation System**
 +  * Base Scoring: 1 point awarded per successfully matched field
 +  * Header-Level Scoring: Binary scoring (0 or 1) for company-level attributes
 +  * Detail-Level Scoring: Proportional scoring (0.0 to 1.0) representing percentage match of claim elements against contract definitions
 +
 +__Scoring Criteria & Calculations__
 +
 +**Header-Level Matches**
 +
 +{{:pasted:20250918-175821.png}}
 +
 +**Score Interpretation**
 +  * Higher Scores: Indicate stronger contract-to-claim compatibility
 +  * Composite Scoring: Total score represents cumulative match strength across all evaluated criteria
 +  * Decimal Precision: Detail-level scores provide granular matching insights for partial alignments
 +
 +**Implementation Roadmap**
 +
 +Phase 1: Foundation
 +  * Deploy scoring algorithm for manual matching enhancement
 +  * Establish baseline scoring metrics and validation
 +
 +Phase 2: Analytics & Optimization
 +  * Conduct comprehensive analysis of matching outcomes versus scoring patterns
 +  * Identify optimal score thresholds for automated decision-making
 +  * Validate scoring accuracy through historical data correlation
 +
 +Phase 3: Automation
 +  * Implement client-configurable score thresholds for automated matching
 +  * Deploy intelligent auto-matching capabilities based on validated scoring criteria
 +  * Establish monitoring and continuous improvement protocols
 +
 +**Expected Benefits**
 +  * Enhanced Accuracy: Quantitative scoring reduces subjective matching decisions
 +  * Scalability: Systematic approach enables future automation capabilities
 +  * Transparency: Clear scoring methodology provides audit trail for matching decisions
 +  * Customization: Client-specific thresholds accommodate varying risk tolerances and business requirements
 +
 +This scoring methodology establishes a robust foundation for intelligent contract matching while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to diverse client requirements and operational scenarios.

 +__**Splitting Claims**__
 +
 +**Invoice Consolidation**
 +
 +When multiple records share the same invoice number, the system consolidates them under a single invoice identifier to maintain data integrity and streamline processing.
 +
 +**Claim Generation Framework**
 +
 +Claims are systematically generated based on the invoice structure and associated contract family relationships.
 +
 +__**Contract Family-Based Claim Splitting**__
 +
 +**Single Contract Family Scenario**
 +
 +**Condition**: All line items within an invoice resolve to the same contract family
 +
 +**Result**: One consolidated claim is created for the entire invoice
 +
 +**Multiple Contract Family Scenario**
 +
 +**Condition**: Line items within an invoice resolve to different contract families
 +
 +**Result**: The system creates separate claims for each distinct contract family represented
 +
 +__**Line Item Validation Process**__
 +
 +Each line item within a generated claim undergoes comprehensive validation based on the following criteria:
 +
 +**Contractee Identifier Verification**
 +
 +The system validates that the contractee identifier associated with each line item is accurate and properly mapped to the corresponding contract.
 +
 +**Eligibility Assessment**
 +
 +Each line item is evaluated for eligibility across two primary categories:
 +  * SKU-Level Eligibility: Verification that the product/SKU is covered under the applicable contract terms
 +  * Lumpsum-Level Eligibility: Confirmation that any lumpsum components are authorized and properly allocated within the contract framework
 +
 +**__Processing Workflow Summary__**
 +
 +  - Invoice Consolidation: Group records by invoice number under single invoice ID
 +  - Contract Family Analysis: Determine contract family associations for all line items
 +  - Claim Segmentation: Create claims based on contract family groupings
 +  - Line Item Validation: Verify contractee identifiers and eligibility for each claim component
