Feature Enhancements in Version 22.1 (Banker Edition)

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

Update to Microsoft Windows and Office Support

Support for iLAD Imports

Updates are being made in Encompass to support iLAD loan file imports. At the time the GSEs announced the introduction of the 2020 URLA updates, both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac published their own versions of ULAD specifications for ordering AUS. Both GSEs have different implementations that replaced the role previously held by the FNMA 3.2 format. An industry group working within MISMO has defined a new iLAD format, which is the new industry-wide standard that will replace the temporary ULAD format within the secondary market. Details of the iLAD import features implemented in the Encompass 22.1 Major Release are listed below.

Updates to eNote Servicing Options

(Added on 2/18/2022)

Lenders using Encompass eClose can now complete life of loan tasks for their eNotes in two ways:

  • Users who are logged into Encompass can access an eNote related to that loan and perform servicing related functions from the eNotes tab in the eFolder.

  • Clients with separate servicing departments will be able to login to our new web-based eVault Portal to perform similar tasks on their existing eNotes. This option is for users that do not have access to Encompass.

The life of loan tasks available on the eNotes tab and in the eVault Portal include:

  • An option to deactivate an eNote when it is paid off, charged off, or converted to paper.

  • An option to reverse the deactivate of an eNote.

Prior to the Encompass 22.1 release, lenders who wanted to deactivate or reactivate an eNote had to submit a request to the ICE Mortgage Technology support team. With the addition of these new features clients have the ability to perform these functions themselves.

Bid Tape Upload Process

Watch the Release Rundown Video

The bid tape upload process has been updated to enable an Encompass TPO Connect user to view their bid tape loans in their Encompass TPO Connect pipeline. To display bid tape loans, the following data will be required:

  • The Underwriting Delegated (field ID TPO.X88) field must be added to the Normalized Bid Tape Template setting.

  • The bid tape loan’s Site ID (field ID TPO.X1) field on the TPO Information screen must be populated with the value from the TPO ID (field ID TPO.X15) field.

  • A Production loan folder must be designated in Encompass TPO Connect by the administrator under Additional Settings>Loan Folders.

  • A unique external user with the EA/Sales Rep role will be automatically created for the external TPO company and assigned to the bid tape loans.

In addition, several new validations, error log messages, and modifications have been added to the upload process.
