This section discusses the new features being introduced in this ICE PPE release.
New Lock Extension Policies

A new Lock Extension Policies setting has been added under the Settings tab. This setting enables your Client admin to manage the lock extension policies.

The Control option must be set to “No company control - user can request any extension days and adjustment”.

A Lock Date Condition has been added to the Rule Manager to support Lock Extensions. This is the lock date of the current loan.

A new “Apply Lock Extension Policy” Rule Task has been added to the Rule Manager to support Lock Extension Policies. This new Task executes the selected Lock Extension Policy. When this Task is selected, a Policies button will be displayed which opens to the Lock Extension Policy listing page.

When a Rule Definition is saved, a new alert will be triggered if a Condition(s) selected in the definition is only evaluated in the ICE PPE integration. The alert states:
“You have selected one or more Conditions that are evaluated only in the new integration. This Rule will not execute in the Legacy web application. Select Save to continue.”
When you select Save again, the Rule Definition will be saved.
If a rule contains Condition(s) only evaluated in the ICE PPE integration but a loan is qualified using the Encompass Product & Pricing Service integration, that rule will not be applied.
