An issue occurred with the last four fields (field IDs CORRESPONDENT.X63, CORRESPONDENT.X64, CORRESPONDENT.X65, and CORRESPONDENT.X65) in the Late Fees section of the Correspondent Purchase Advice Form.

If fees were manually added to the last four fields, and then Update Fees was selected to update the section with fees from the Company Details Fees tab, the manually entered fees in the last four fields were not cleared. This issue has been resolved and if fees are manually entered in the last four fields and Update Fees is selected, the fields are now cleared.

An issue occurred on the Secondary Lock Tool where if values were added to the 11th to the 20th price adjustment fields (field IDs 3736 to 3754, even numbers only) in the expanded Base Comp. Price section in the Execution Comparison column, those values were not included in the Net Comparison Price (field ID 3776). This issue has been resolved and all values added to the Base Comp. Price section in the Execution Comparison column are now included in the Net Comparison Price.

An issue occurred on the Interim Servicing Worksheet where an error, “An item with the same key has already been added.”, was generated when the worksheet was saved because the system detected duplicated records. This issue has been resolved and the worksheet no longer generates the error and can be saved.

An issue was resolved that caused the HELOC Historical Table to not print on the HELOC Important Terms Disclosure output form when a HELOC loan did not have enough payment amounts that met the criteria used when creating a minimal example schedule. The logic for creating the schedules has been updated and the HELOC Historical Table now prints correctly.

An update was made to the calculation for the Closing Costs (VASUMM.X127) in the Statutory Closing Cost Recoupment section on the Qualification tab of the VA Management input form to address an issue that occurred with lender-paid VA Funding Fees. Regulations require that these fees not be included in the Closing Costs in the Statutory Closing Cost Recoupment section.

The previous calculation for Closing Costs added the Loan Costs (which included the VA Funding Fee) and then subtracted the VA Funding Fee from the Closing Costs amount. However, when the VA Funding Fee was lender-paid, it was excluded from the Loan Costs. This resulted in a lender-paid VA Funding Fee being subtracted twice when calculating the Closing Costs.

To address this issue, in the calculations for the following fields on the Qualification tab in the VA management input form, the borrower VA Funding Fee (field ID 1050) from line 903 on the 2015 Itemization input form has been replaced with the borrower-paid amount (field ID NEWHUD.2.X2290) from the fee details pop-up window for line 905 on the 2015 Itemization input form:

• All Other Non Shoppable services (field ID VASUMM.X137) in the Closing Costs Recoupment section

• Closing Costs (VASUMM.X127) in the Statutory Closing Cost Recoupment section

Because of this calculation change, the funding fee is no longer included in the Closing Cost Recoupment section (VASUMM.X137) or the Statutory Closing Cost Recoupment (VASUMM.X127) when the lender or a party other than the borrower pays the VA Funding fee.

Migration

This calculation update is applied to existing loans in your Encompass Pipeline only when updates are made to one of the fields used in the calculation.

Workaround Description:

The following workaround was provided for this production issue and is no longer required for Encompass 21.4 and later.

• Lock down the recoupment months or change the lender paid amount to a general lender credit instead of specifically applying it to the funding fee.

For construction-only loans with the A (Half Loan) option selected for the Estimate Interest On dropdown list (field ID SYS.X6), the following updates have been made to the maximum monthly principal and interest payment amount in the Loan Terms on the Loan Estimate Page 1 (field ID LE1.X24) and in the AP Table on the Loan Estimate Page 2 and the Closing Disclosure Page 4 to comply with § 1026.37(b)(5) of the RegZ-TIL. The values in these fields are now calculated using the full loan amount (field ID 2). Previously the values were calculated using half the loan amount.

An issue was resolved that caused erroneous export codes to display in the HMDA LAR export for brokered loans or loans imported from Encompass TPO Connect. This issue occurred when the Action Taken (field ID 1393) for a loan with two borrower pairs was set to Active and an Encompass user entered data on the HMDA Information input form for the first borrower pair. If the user then switched to the second borrower pair, changed the Action Taken (field ID 1393) to 6. Purchased, saved the loan while the second borrower pair was still selected, and then generated the HMDA LAR report, the values for the first borrower pair were not updating to Not Applicable when appropriate in the HMDA LAR export.

If a user switched back to the first borrower pair after generating the HMDA LAR export, Encompass would recalculate and populate the Not Applicable values in the loan file for the first borrower pair, but the values would not change in the HMDA LAR export because it was generated before Encompass updated the values.

This issue has been resolved. When the second borrower pair is selected in a loan, Encompass now updates the values for the first borrower pair prior to generating the HMDA LAR export.

An issue was resolved that caused the APR (field ID 799) on the HMDA Information input form to not recalculate for loans with co-mortgagors and mortgage insurance when a change in loan data triggered a recalculation of the APR. The value was recalculating correctly for the APR field (field ID 799) on other input forms (for example the Loan Estimate Page 3, the Closing Disclosure Page 5, the RegZ-LE and the RegZ-CD).

This recalculation issue affected only the HMDA APR field and did not affect APR values used in disclosures for the loan.

An issue was resolved that resulted in the Loan Amount (field ID 1109) not being rounded when the loan-level Loan Amount Rounding checkbox (field ID 4745) was selected on the Borrower Summary – Origination input form, but a Purchase Price (field ID 136) was not entered for the loan. When a Purchase Price was entered, the Loan Amount was rounding correctly. This issue has been resolved and the Loan Amount is now rounding correctly when the Loan Amount Rounding checkbox is selected, even when no Purchase Price is entered for the loan.

When working in a loan file in Encompass LO Connect, the Funding Amount (field ID 3045) on the Lock Request tool, is now recalculated when the MIP / Funding percentage (field ID 3044) is updated.

An issue was resolved that caused the Total Other Asset Amount (field ID URLA.X54) on the 1003 URLA Part 3 input form to not be calculated when the first entry was made for an asset in section 2b. Other Assets You Have or when the first entry was made on the Verification of Other Assets input form. The total was calculated as soon as a second asset was entered on either form. This issue has been resolved and the total is now populating as soon as the first entry is added for an Other Asset.

(Added on 12/21/2021)

An issue was resolved that resulted in the 1003 URLA form not displaying on the pop-up window that prompts a loan officer to eSign documents before they are sent to a recipient. This issue affects packages sent via the eFolder Send windows when requesting documents, sending eDisclosures, or sending pre-closing documents. Other eSignable documents for the loan officer were displaying correctly on the window. This issue has been resolved and the 1003 URLA form now displays when the loan officer is required to eSign it prior to sending packages.

(Added on 12/21/2021)

An issue was resolved that caused the status for some eDisclosure document packages to not update to Complete on the Packages tab in the eFolder for eDisclosure packages sent from Encompass LO Connect to recipients using Encompass Consumer Connect. This issue affected packages that included a combination of at least one eSignable and at least one Wet Sign document. The status for these packages was still showing as Incomplete after all parties had completed the packages. This issue has been resolved and the status for these types of packages is now being updated correctly on the Packages tab in the eFolder.

The eFolder Packages tab only displays for Encompass Consumer Connect loans.

An issue occurred with loans in Fannie Mae PE and Freddie Mac MBS pools where if a Fixed Servicing Fee Percent and a Guaranty Fee were entered on the Setup tab, a note rate was entered in the Detailed Pricing Grid on the Pricing tab which resulted in a different calculated servicing fee and guaranty fee, and then the loans in a pool were updated using Update All Loans on the Loans tab, the Service Fee (field ID 3888) and Guaranty Fee (field ID 3889) on the Secondary Lock Tool for an updated loan was not populated with the fee amounts entered in the Detailed Pricing Grid (instead they were populated from the fee amounts on the Setup tab). This issue has been resolved as follows:

• If a loan’s note rate matches a note rate in the Detailed Pricing Grid, the Service Fee and Guaranty Fee amounts on the Secondary Lock Tool will be populated from the Detailed Pricing Grid.

• If a loan’s note rate does not match a note rate in the Detailed Pricing Grid, the Service Fee and Guaranty Fee amounts on the Secondary Lock Tool will be populated from the Setup tab.

An issue occurred with loans in Freddie Mac MBS pools where if a Base Guaranty Fee was entered on the Setup tab, and then the loans in a pool were updated using Update All Loans on the Loans tab, the Base Guaranty Fee (field ID 4182) on the Secondary Lock Tool for an updated loan was not populated with the fee amount entered on the Setup tab (instead it was blank). This issue has been resolved and the Base Guaranty Fee on the Secondary Lock Tool is now populated with the fee amount entered on the Setup tab when the loan is updated in a Freddie Mac MBS pool.

(Added on 10/22/2021)

An issue occurred with Freddie Mac MBS pools where a new snapshot was not created when changes were made on the Setup tab (e.g. Guaranty Fee) and the Pricing tab (e.g., note rate added to the Detailed Pricing Grid) and then the loans in the pool were updated using Update All Loans on the Loans tab.

While a new snapshot was not created, the affected fields were updated.

This issue has been resolved and a new snapshot is now created when changes are made to a Freddie Mac MBS pool.

An issue was resolved for FNMA 3.2 or Blend loan file imports that resulted in some non-POC fees being treated as POC fees in the Borrower Transaction section of the Closing Disclosure Page 3 when the 2015 Itemization input form included at least one fee with a POC amount. The values in the following fields were affected by this issue:

• Sub Total (field ID CD3.X41)

• 03 Closing Costs Paid at Closing J (field ID CD3.X1)

• Total Due from Borrower at Closing K (field ID CD3.X21)

• Cash From Borrower (field ID CD3.X23)

This issue was resolved. POC and non-POC fees are now being populated correctly in the Borrower Transaction section of the Closing Disclosure Page 3 for FNMA 3.2 and Blend file imports.

(Added on 10/22/2021)

For loans with two borrower pairs, an issue was resolved that cause a principal reduction amount in a Payoffs and Payments entry for the first borrower pair to be doubled in the following fields because the amount was being applied to both borrower pairs:

• Line 04 (field ID L85) in section K. Due from Borrower at Closing in the Borrower’s Transaction section of the Closing Disclosure Page 3

• The field at the bottom of the Closing Disclosure Page 3 that displays the cash due to or from the borrower at close (field ID CD3.X23)

This issue has been resolved and principal reduction amounts for Payoffs and Payments are now always applied to the first borrower pair only.

(Added on 10/22/2021)

For loans using the new URLA forms, the following items are now included in the Verified Funds amount (field ID 1547) on the Transmittal Summary and Underwriter Summary tools:

If you are utilizing the Encompass SDK, upgrading to the new SDK package for 21.4.0.1 Server Patch 1 is required to receive this fix.

Customers using the initial build of the Encompass 21.4 release in test environments discovered an issue that caused the mortgage insurance premium (MIP) amount to be incorrectly applied to the calculations for the Total of Payments (field ID CD5.X1) on the Closing Disclosure Page 5 and the In 5 Years Total You Will Have Paid (field ID LE3.X17) on the Loan Estimate Page 3. No other calculations were modified in Encompass 21.4 and the changes to the calculations for Total of Payments and the In 5 Years Total You Will Have Paid have been reverted to the previous versions of the calculations.
