New Functionality
  • Transaction Grid: Missing Party Name

    After deleting a co-applicant in a transaction, the party name may have been missing from the Transaction Grid and did not appear when searching for a party. This issue was resolved in this release.

  • Transaction Grid: Borrower and Primary Applicant

    After moving between the Transactions Summary grid and Transaction details, the borrower or primary applicant did not display on the Transactions grid. With this release, the parties will display after accessing the sections.

  • Transaction Grid: Primary and Co-borrower Names

    Previously on a loan with two borrowers (one borrower as a co-applicant), the co-applicant displayed in the transaction summary row in Party column on the Transaction grid instead of the primary borrower after leaving the Transactions Grid and making changes to the transaction. This issue was resolved in this release.

  • Application:UCA-RE/URLA Hispanic/Latino Demographics

    The Not Hispanic or Latino option will be now be saved after it is selected in the Demographics section on the Application page after selecting Hispanic or Latino. In prior versions, the selection did not save.

  • Collateral: Details

    A user can now make changes on Collateral Details page and the changes will save correctly when using the Fannie Mae 3.2. Previously, the changes did not save and collateral had to be deleted and re-added when it was imported.

  • Collateral: Collateral Owner as a Trust

    The Related Parties for Collateral Owner as a Trust has been updated to have a Trustor instead of an Owner relationship. In addition, the data about the Trustor (name, contact information) is now defaulted to the documents including the Addendum to Loan Application. For any collateral owners that are not trusts, the option will still be called Owner.

  • Calculations: Fees Grid and Processing Message

    Previously, if Prepay Odd Days was selected in the Terms of the Loan section on the Calculations page and the calculated prepaid interest resulted in a negative value, 'Processing' displayed over the Fees grid. The issue has been resolved.

  • Calculations: Late Charges

    Previously, a user could edit the Late Charges section when working in another organization that shared the same Late Fee policy even though the Allow User to Edit Late Charge in Transaction was not selected. This issue was resolved and now, the Late Fee policy will retain the setting when working in an organization that shares the Late Fee policy.

  • URLA and Type of Credit

    Previously, when two borrowers were selected as co-applicants on a URLA loan, the Type of Credit on the URLA indicated individual credit and the total number of borrowers displayed as empty. This was changed so now, the Type of Credit will indicate joint credit and 2 for the Total Number of borrower.

  • New Options for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in Special Features Codes

    When Fannie Mae transaction is selected and the Fannie Mae ULDD Interface for Export is run, 868 Refi will now display in the drop-down list in the Special Feature Codes section. When Freddie Mac transaction is selected and the Freddie Mac ULDD Interface for Export is run, J05 Refi Possible Mortgage will now display in the drop-down list in the Special Feature Codes section.

  • Jack Henry: Party Import for JH 20/20 and JH Core Director

    Previously, when a party was imported into a transaction from JH 20/20 and JH Core Director that did not have a borrower listed on the transaction, an error displayed when creating a new party. This issue was corrected in this release.

    Similarly to the URLA, the revised version of the UCA-RE will get an additional supplement Residential Credit Application Creditor Loan Information.

  • Trust Borrowers for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Transactions: Previously, the system incorrectly allowed a trust borrower to be added on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac transactions. The issue has been resolved and a trust borrower cannot be added on the Parties page.

  • Authority State Code for Loan Officer: The License Issuing Authority State Code for the Loan Officer is now pre-populated with the state selected in the State list in the address area of the Administration only when the NMLS ID for the Loan Officer is not filled in.

  • The Funds Source Type drop-down list has been added to HELOC and Mortgage Liabilities when the 'Is Simultaneous Loan against the Subject Property' check box is selected.

  • The Property Costs section has been updated. When the Optional check box is selected, the escrow amount will not be considered in calculations. In the Estimated Taxes, Insurance & Assessments row in the Projected Payments table, the check box fields in the "This estimate includes" column will not be selected for those escrow items. In the "In escrow?" column, optional escrow items will be included when determining when 'Yes/No' will print.

For this purpose, the Revised General has been added to the QM Type field on the Loan Definition page.

  • Property is in a Community Property State on the Application Page

    Previously, the selection made for the Property is in a community property state check box was not retained in the Property section on the Application page. The issue has been resolved so the field will remain selected.

  • Wiz Sentinel Report changes
    • The Wiz Sentinel Report has been improved for easier reading and clarity.
    • The Applicant, Co-Applicant, and Application Date fields have been removed. The rest of the data represented in the report remains unchanged.
  • Note:
    Important

    Update This issue has been resolved with the July 20 release. Please rerun any impacted WizSentinel reports created between July 12 through July 20 to correct the reports. Reports run after July 20 will not incur the error.

    After the production release on July 12, APR is incorrectly calculating for Section 32 on the Wiz Sentinel report. The issue is limited to ARM loans where there is a rate change during a 5-year loan period. For these loans, the system mistakenly calculates the APR for Section 32 based on the maximum rate achieved during the 5-year period. The only impacted area is the Wiz Sentinel report; the rest of the calculations work as expected.

    After the issue is resolved, a separate communication will be sent. After receiving the communication, recalculate the impacted transactions and generate a new Wiz Sentinel report.
