Overlapping entitlement policy assignments

If a new entitlement policy assignment overlaps with an existing policy assignment, the OVERWRITE_ENT_POLICY registry parameter determines whether the new policy replaces the existing policy for the overlapping dates.

When the registry parameter is set to true, the dates of the existing policies are adjusted to avoid overlapping. With this setting, employees can only be subscribed to a single policy on any given day.

Note: 
  • If the new policy assignment has the same start date (Ovr_Start_Date) and end date (Ovr_End_Date) as an existing policy assignment, the existing policy assignment is deleted.
  • If multiple policies are specified in the Ent_Policy field (for example, POLICYA~POLICYB), an error message is displayed and the policies are not processed.

When the registry parameter is set to false, a new policy assignment does not replace any existing policy assignments for the overlapping dates. With this setting, employees can be subscribed to multiple policies simultaneously.
