Generating SBC documents for many products and plans at once
You can generate SBC documents for many products and plans at the same time.
For example, you might use the SBC mass generation feature to:
- Generate SBC documents for products or plans without previously-generated SBC
documents.
In this example, on the Configure SBC page, you select the SBC template, products, or plans. You do not need to select the networks. The document generation process uses the selected SBC template and the networks that are in the respective products or plans.
- Re-generate the SBC documents for products or plans with previously-generated
SBC documents that need to be modified.
For example, you might you want to change the network name from In Network to Participating Network in the SBC document. You need to select the modified SBC template and configure the network section in the SBC mass generation inputs section on the Document generation page.
- Re-generate the SBC documents for selected products and plans.
In this example, you can skip the selection of the SBC template and the networks if the selected products and plans already have an associated template. You might need to re-generate the SBC documents if you implemented cost shares changes such as copay or coinsurance in the plans.

You cannot correct those errors because the entities are resolved. The draft SBC PDF cannot be generated for a rejected entity.
