Steps
Reference ACORD's Reinsurance & Large Commercial Data Standards page to identify the current release's Data Dictionary, Code Manual, and Guides
Use the Data Dictionary to confirm the field names, formats, and hierarchy required for placing, accounting, and claims data exchange
Consult the Code Manual for the standardized code lists referenced by those data fields
Follow the Guide relevant to the specific process being implemented (e.g., a claims bordereau)
Map internal bordereau fields (loss date, claim reference, line of business, claim status, paid amount, outstanding reserve, reinsurer share) to the ACORD-standard equivalents before transmission
Known gotchas
GRLC standards ship as versioned Data Dictionary + Code Manual + Guides bundles — bordereaux built against an older release may not validate against a counterparty's newer dictionary
Real-world bordereau conventions (e.g., Lloyd's-market 'BDX' terminology and field habits) can still diverge even when both parties claim ACORD alignment, so field-level agreement should be validated bilaterally before go-live
