⚡️AIP SYNC
@marin.ladovic, @filip.cogelja
To ensure flexibility and accuracy when unlinking policies in Operations/AIP Sync, a new pop-up option will allow users to choose whether to unmatch only the current Reinsurance Year (RY) or all previously assigned RYs. This enhancement addresses edge cases where automatic policy matching leads to incorrect associations, providing users better control over policy unlinking during AIP transitions.
