Is there a way to show remaining claims on Reimbursement Type Benefits?

[rc0702]

Hi,

I understand it's not possible to customize the claim screen as per this KBA: https://me.sap.com/notes/3366698/E

I want to be able to show the remaining claims of the user per schedule period.

Perhaps it could be done by having a custom field on BenefitEmployeeClaim object e.g. "remaining claims field" and have an initialize rule to skim through the existing Benefits Employee Claims object and filter by user & claim date then count them?

I tried using cardinality() and see if it will return the number of entries based on claim date. But it wasn't working.

Any idea experts?

Why must it be answered in the portlet? Can't it just be shown in a story report or even a canvas? On entry level showing it will be quite impossible, you always need any field to take this action to the parent and then use the rule that allows the individual entries to be calculated (if that can even be configured in these standard portlets).

We wanted the claimants to be able to see the remaining claims themselves, so it needs to be available while their submitting a claim. I already have a hunch that it can't be done. There's no current rules function to count individual entries as well. Thanks for your response though. Appreciate it. 🙂
