This page intends to replicate details from a previous quotation recorded in INSIGHT. Though it is included in the wizard for all interface types,  this only applies to Manual transactionsIf the quotation you'd like to use was created with SCTP or Sunrise, you can ignore this step and select Next. 


When selecting Yes, the Policy field will become mandatory and INSIGHT will present you with a list of prior quotations. Once a selection is made, you can proceed to the next step of the Quotation wizard.
