# SalesPlans

`SalesPlans` is a nested enumeration of `Enums` that classifies the sales/pricing plan under which a policy was written (guaranteed cost, retrospective rating, or group retro). `Enums.ConvertSalesPlan` translates between this enum and its persisted database codes, though an in-code comment directs new callers to use the enum defined on `clsSalesPlan` instead.*

## Purpose
- Represent the fixed, closed set of sales-plan codes historically recognized by the policy domain, per [BR-POL-003](../../../../business-rules.md#br-pol-003-persisted-policy-codes-map-to-fixed-domain-enums).
- Provide the `Unknown` fallback value used when a persisted sales-plan code cannot be mapped, per [BR-POL-004](../../../../business-rules.md#br-pol-004-unrecognized-codes-translate-to-safe-defaults).
- Signal (via an in-code removal/deprecation comment) that this enum has been superseded by the sales-plan enum on `clsSalesPlan` for new usage.*

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.Policy`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.Policy`

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Unknown` | `Unknown = 0` | Default/fallback value used when the persisted code does not map to a recognized sales plan. |
| `GuaranteedCost` | `GuaranteedCost` | Represents the `"STD"` (Guaranteed Cost/Standard) sales-plan code. |
| `Retro` | `Retro` | Represents the `"RETRO"` (Retrospective Rating) sales-plan code. |
| `GroupRetro` | `GroupRetro` | Represents the `"GRRET"` (Group Retro) sales-plan code. |

- Related operations, rules, and SQL are cross-referenced from the library-level documentation.

## Constraints and usage notes
- Consumers should rely on the declared public surface rather than internal implementation details.

> **Note:** Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or
> contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements
