Canceling an installment indicates that it is no longer a planned amount to pay and removes the canceled amount from the balance for the request. It does not affect the amount awarded (installment total). This is the appropriate action if you want to keep the original amount awarded while indicating that the award, or part of the award, will no longer be paid.
There may be scenarios where you need to cancel part of an installment amount or cancel an installment that already has payments recorded. Installments for the request must be adjusted first so that an installment exists without payments in the exact amount that needs to be canceled.
