Previously, when the Agency Used Indicator checkbox was selected on the Home Counseling Providers input form, the agency name and ID were copied to the 1003 URLA - Lender form, but both the Yes and No checkboxes were cleared on the 1003 URLA - Lender. When the No checkbox was then selected on the 1003 URLA - Lender form, the agency name and ID would clear on the 1003 URLA – Lender, but not on the Home Counseling Providers input form. Any following updates to the agency details on the Home Counseling Providers input form would be copied back to the 1003 URLA – Lender form, but the No checkbox would not be updated.

This issue has been resolved and the checkboxes are now synchronizing correctly.

An issue was resolved that caused a loan with multiple borrower pairs to not populate the Street Address fields (current, former, and mailing addresses) for the second borrower pair on the 1003 URLA Part 1 input form when the first borrower pair was selected for the loan and the loan was switched from the 2009 URLA forms to the new URLA forms. Previously the street address for the second borrower pair was blank on the 1003 URLA Part 1. This issue also resulted in a blank street address fields for the second borrower pair in individual Verification of Residence (VOR) records, although the street address was showing correctly in the VOR table.

For loans using the new URLA forms, the value for the borrower Alternate Name (field ID URLA.X195) on the 1003 URLA Page 1 is now retained when a business rule is used to change the value. Previously, the value was updated by the business rule, but the value in the field would then revert to its previous value if the field had originally been populated by clicking the Edit icon and selecting a name from the Alternate Names pop-up window. This issue has been resolved and the value applied by the business rule is now retained.

For loans using the new URLA forms that are submitted to Fannie Mae Desktop Underwriter (DU) and that returned an error on the initial submission, the LTV and DTI values are now updating as soon as a change is made to any field that affects the calculation for the LTV or DTI. Previously, after a loan received a DU error, the LTV and DTI calculations would no longer update when a change was made to a field that affected the calculations.

• LESS TOTAL MORTGAGE LOANS (Line K) AND TOTAL CREDITS (Line N) (field ID 1844)

• Cash From/To the Borrower (Line H minus Line K and Line N) (field ID 142)

Previously the data would not flow through until the loan file was saved. The cash to close amount was updated only after the loan was saved and line item J was populated in the qualifying the borrower section.

This update affects data entered on the Verification of Additional Loans (VOAL) input form or on the Quick Entry - VOAL pop-up window that opens via buttons available on forms such as the 1003 URLA – Lender or 1003 URLA Part 4 input forms.

For loans using the new URLA forms, an issue was resolved that caused Send Initial Disclosure alerts to not trigger as expected when all the following conditions were met:

• A user completed all the fields required to trigger the alert.

• The user initially entered TBD for the Subject Property Street Address (field ID URLA.X73).

• The user later changed the Subject Property Address to a valid street address.

This typically occurred when a borrower applied for prequalification before identifying the home they wanted to purchase. Under the conditions described above, the Send Initial Disclosures alert would not trigger immediately after the valid street address was enter. The alert would only be sent after the user saved and closed the loan or retriggered loan calculations by opening the RegZ-LE or RegZ-CD.

An issue was resolved that caused an error message to display when a user tabs out of an editable dropdown list field. Editable dropdown lists enable users to select an option from the list or manually enter a value. The message would state that the value entered in the field was not in the correct format, as shown in the example below:

This issue has been resolved and users can now tab out of editable dropdown fields without triggering an error message.

An issue was resolved that occasionally caused eFolder document packages to not include a document if the document had a Changed Circumstance option selected in the criteria. The criteria for adding the document to the package are configured in the Documents setting (Encompass > eFolder Setup > Documents).

Packages with a Changed Circumstance criteria were being excluded from a package if multiple criteria were selected in the Changed Circumstance field (field ID 3169) on the Loan Estimate Page 1, but only if the criteria for adding the document was not the first option on the list.

Multiple Changed Circumstance options can be added to the Loan Estimate Page 2 by clicking the Find icon to the right of the changed circumstance field. When the pop-up window opens, press the Ctrl key, and then click the option you want to add.

The following six updates have been made to the field descriptions for borrower and co-borrower declaration fields in the Encompass Reporting Database:

Previously the descriptions referred to Declaration M, Declaration M1, and Declaration M2, which referred to the line name/number on the USDA Management input form but did not apply to the declarations on the 1003 URLA Part 4 input form. The new descriptions refer to the purpose of the declaration and do not refer to the declaration line name/number on any forms.

For loans using the new URLA forms, an issue was resolved that caused the Military Base Pay amount to populate incorrectly when imported from a MISMO 3.4 file provided by another Loan Origination Software (LOS) or Point of Sales (POS) platform. Instead of populating in the Military Base Pay field on the Calculate Military Entitlements pop-up window, the amount was being included in the Total Military Entitlements amount on the pop-up window. This issue has been resolved and the Military Base Pay amount is now populating to the Military Base Pay field when imported from a MISMO 3.4 file.

The Calculate Military Entitlements pop-up window is accessed by clicking the Edit icon next to the Military Entitlements field (field ID FE0153) on the 1003 URLA Page 2.

For loans using the new URLA forms, Encompass now populates the employment end date for Verification of Employment (VOE) records for loans created by importing a MISMO 3.4 file provided by another Loan Origination Software (LOS) or Point of Sales (POS) platform. This includes the Date Terminated fields for the borrower (field ID BExx14) and the co-borrower (field ID CExx14) where xx refers to the order of the records in the table at the top of the VOE input form. For example, BE0114 is the Date Terminated field ID for the first borrower VOE record and CE0514 is the Date Terminated field ID for the fifth co-borrower VOE record. Previously the Date Terminated fields were blank after importing a MISMO 3.4 loan file.
