Differences Between a Full-term & Mid-term Cancellation
| Full-term | Mid-term | ||
![]() | This applies when the policy is being cancelled from the start of the policy. | ![]() | This applies when the policy is being cancelled during the current period of insurance. |
![]() | To create a Full-term Cancellation, the Effective Date field must match the From Date field. | ![]() | To create a Mid-term Cancellation, enter the date the client wishes to cancel the policy in the Effective Date field. |
![]() | If the original policy has NOT been paid, INSIGHT will auto-allocate the cancellation credit to the debt. Otherwise, you will need to arrange a refund of the cancellation credit. | ![]() | INSIGHT will NOT auto-allocate credits for a Mid-term Cancellation. You must manually allocate the cancellation credit to the original policy (if NOT paid) or arrange a refund of the cancellation credit (if paid). |
Auto Allocation vs Manual Allocation
A cancellation's distinguishing feature is that it always generates credit. Once the cancellation is posted to accounts, the Summary step of the wizard will confirm whether an auto-allocation has happened or if you need to do a manual allocation.
Auto Allocation
- The original policy has not been paid (ie: outstanding debt)
- Applies when a Full-term Cancellation is done
- The cancellation credit must be equal to the debt amount
Manual Allocation


- The original policy has not been paid (ie: outstanding debt)
- Applies to Mid-term and Full-term Cancellations
- The cancellation credit does not equal the debt amount
NOTE: For scenarios where the client has paid the original policy, the cancellation credit will not be auto-allocated. The cancellation credit will be in the Client's account, available for the accounts team to process the refund. Was this article helpful?
