This section discusses the updates and enhancements to existing forms, features, services, or settings that are provided in this release.
Updates to the ICE PPE Workflow

The Total Loan Amount calculation has been changed to Base Loan Amount + PMI, MIP Financed.
-
If the Encompass MIP Paid in Cash has a value and the loan is priced, that Paid in Cash will be populated in ICE PPE.
-
If the Encompass MIP Paid in Cash has a Null value and the loan is priced, the Paid in Cash will be Zero and the Full Financed Fee will be calculated in ICE PPE.
For Government loans (FHA, VA, and USDA), the PMI, MIP Financed field will be hidden.
-
The field will be hidden only. The PMI, MIP Financed amount will be included in the Total Loan Amount.
-
The field will remain hidden if a combined search includes Conventional (CONV) loans.
The system will force the PMI, MIP Financed value for Government loans to equal the UFMIP Financed Amount (FHA), Funding Fee Financed Amount (VA) or Guarantee Fee Financed Amount (USDA).
-
The newly calculated Total Loan Amount will be sent to the Qualification API.
If the loan is updated from a government to a conventional loan, the MIP will be set to “$0.00” for the conventional loan.

The logic for the UFMIP Financed Amount field has been updated.
-
If the UFMIP Financed Amount field has a decimal value, any cents included with the financed fees will be subtracted and added to the Paid in Cash amount.
-
If either the Paid in Cash OR UFMIP Financed Amount is changed, the other value will be auto calculated to equal the Total Fee amount.
-
If the Paid in Cash or UFMIP Financed Amount values are above the maximum, the auto calculation will not be performed and a warning that the sum exceeds the calculated amount will be displayed.
