If you have multiple policies to lodge, you do not need to create a new scenario if all policies are discussed in the same SoA which has already been uploaded. You will only have to complete the “Lodge to CommPay” steps for each new policy as you cannot lodge more than one policy in the same CommPay lodgement screen.
For example, if you were submitting a lodgement with several policies you should follow the steps below:
Step 1. Complete the Lodgement Wizard including attaching the SoA if required.
Step 2. Complete the CommPay Lodgement (Lodgement Details Screen) for client policy number 1 (Add Estimates tab is optional).
