HFW-002: Query Beneficiary

The PoS system is searching for beneficiary master data in the FIS based on a specific query (e.g. by name, ID, age etc …). The FIS returns all master data from the CR and adds FIS specific master data .
Example use case: An insurance agent is looking for information about a beneficiary to respond to a service desk call.
