How do I delete payments?
Jump into the policy in question and head to the money tab. At the bottom you can can remove records from Digit:

How do payments taken by card work?
When a payment is taken by card in DigiT, the system records the payment immediately against the policy and allocates it according to the scheme’s configured payment flow.
- Card payments are treated as received at the point of authorisation.
-
The timing of when insurers are payable and when commission can be withdrawn depends on:
Site-level accounting settings
Any scheme-level overrides - Once processed, the payment will appear in the bank accounts area under SchemeServe transactions. It will bypass the ledger tab as it will automatically be marked as recieved.
*If you have 2 bank accounts, this will automatically land in the default account.
How do cancellations or refunds work?
When a policy is cancelled, SchemeServe automatically recalculates the premium, commission, and insurer balance based on the cancellation terms.
- Any return premium due is calculated at the point of cancellation.
-
If funds have already been collected, Digit determines whether:
A refund is due to the customer, or
An accounting adjustment is required.
Refunds and adjustments are processed in line with:
- Site-level accounting settings
- Scheme-level configuration
- Applicable tolerance limits
If the insurer or agent has already been paid, Digit manages the difference using adjustments or balances rather than reversing historic transactions.
This approach ensures cancellations and refunds are handled accurately while maintaining accounting integrity.
Can I record insurer payments?
Yes, to get to the appropriate page, you need to go to the ‘Accounting‘ tab, and then click ‘Accounts Payable’ tab.
- First you need to find the insurer the payment needs to be paid to. To do this, on the Accounts Payable table search the insurer from the Transactors filters on the top left. You will then see a list of case records broken down by riskgroups appear, associated with this insurer/agent.
- You can then further filter these cases using the search in the top right of the table by ‘Case Id, Record Id or Money out).
- The amount that needs to be paid to this insurer, is calculated from the information given in the ‘Matrix’ tab on the case record itself. The Net Premium of this Risk Group, minus commissions.
- Once you have found the case(s) you need, tick the box to the left of the case(s), and click ‘Record payment’ at the top right or in the footer displayed at the bottom. This will open a smaller pop-up box headed ‘Record insurer payment‘.
- Here select the ‘Payment Type‘ (Bacs, cheque, bank to bank…). This is a required field that MUST be set.
- Insert the ‘Reference‘ from the cheque, or bank transaction underneath. This is a required field that MUST be set.
- Add the Date that you received the payment in the date box below.
- The ‘Payment amount’ is already calculated and cannot be changed.
- The ‘Bank account’ selection allows you to select which account in SchemeServe you want to record the payment for where more than one account has been created in SchemeServe. If a payment has already been recorded for one or more of the cases selected, the account selected will need to match the account that this previous payment was recorded for.
- You can add Notes about this payment. This is optional.
- At the bottom you can expand the table to see all cases/riskgroups that have been selected and the individual amounts owed.
- Click ‘Submit‘ – the payment can then be found in the bank account under ‘SchemeServe Transactions’
You will then need to ‘Reconcile‘ this payment in Accounting.
How do I fix a mistake?
If a mistake is identified, the preferred and safest approach is to use an adjustment rather than editing live policy data.
- Do not edit a policy that is already on cover - Digit will not retrospectively update accounting or payment records.
- Where necessary, the payment can be removed from the Money tab in Digit. The policy can then be taken off cover, corrected, and placed back on cover.
- In most cases, doing an adjustment/MTA is the ideal solution and preserves accounting integrity.
Every scenario is different, so if you’re unsure of the correct approach, please contact our Obsessive Support team for guidance.
Can I edit a policy once it has gone On Cover?
Once a policy has gone On Cover, it should not be edited.
Digit will not retrospectively update accounting, payments, or statements if changes are made to a policy that is already on cover. Editing at this stage can lead to discrepancies in accounting.
If a change is required:
- Use an adjustment where possible (this is the preferred approach), or
- Remove the payment from the Money tab, take the policy off cover, make the required changes, and then place the policy back on cover.
If you’re unsure which approach is correct, contact our Obsessive Support team for guidance, as each scenario can differ.
Can I put a manual entry on Digit?
Manual accounting entries are not currently supported in Digit.
We recognise that this functionality is of interest to many users and are actively researching how manual entries could be introduced in a future update.
In the meantime, adjustments and existing accounting workflows should be used to correct or balance transactions.
I've got payment's missing from Digit, what do I do?
If payments appear to be missing in Digit, do not attempt to manually correct the figures.
First, check the Money tab to confirm whether the payment has been recorded but not yet allocated.
If Digit was enabled after the policy was placed On Cover it won't show in Digit. You may need to manually add it to Digit on the money tab.
Review the policy status to ensure it is correctly placed On Cover, as payments will not post correctly if the policy is off cover.
Confirm the scheme and site accounting settings, as payment flow and timing rules can affect when payments appear.
If the payment is still missing, please contact our Obsessive Support team with:
- The policy number
- Payment amount
- Payment method
- Date the payment was taken
Can client's/broker's record payments?
This functionality is not supported at this time. All payments must be recorded by authorised internal users in line with Digit’s accounting controls.
We recognise that this capability is important for some workflows and is an area of active interest. We are currently reviewing how this could be supported in the future.
Can client's/broker's reconcile on Digit?
This functionality is not supported at this time. All payments must be recorded by authorised internal users in line with Digit’s accounting controls.
We recognise that this capability is important for some workflows and is an area of active interest. We are currently reviewing how this could be supported in the future.
Can I undo the closing of an accounting period?
No. Once an accounting period has been closed in Digit, it cannot be undone.
Closing an accounting period finalises all balances and transactions for that period to preserve accounting integrity. If an issue is identified after closure, it should be addressed in a subsequent open period using adjustments.
If you’re unsure how best to proceed, contact our Obsessive Support team for
What date does the ledger use?
The ledger uses the transaction (accounting) date, not the policy start, end, or cover date.
This is the date the financial transaction is posted into accounting (for example, when a premium, adjustment, or refund is created)
Can I part pay?
Yes. Digit supports part payments.
When recording a payment from the ledger, simply enter the amount you wish to record. The remaining balance will stay outstanding in the ledger until it is paid or otherwise adjusted.
This allows payments to be recorded over multiple transactions while maintaining a clear outstanding balance.
Can I reconcile multiple lines?
Not yet. Digit currently supports reconciliation on a line-by-line basis only.
We recognise that reconciling multiple lines together would be beneficial and this is an area we are actively exploring for future development.
If I have two bank account's, how do I select which payments card payments go to?
Card payments in Digit will always post to the default bank account.
It isn’t possible to choose the bank account per payment. If you need help reviewing or changing your default account setup, please reach out to our Obsessive Support team.
