Otherwise, a specific error message is displayed in the interface.

NOTE  Any record in Draft status is moved to the Registered status only if at least one Insurance Type is inserted in its Insurance Type Grid. Deleting all inserted types from that grid moves any record to Draft status. Learn more by accessing the Statuses and Transitions page.
