In the Name field, enter the TPO fee name. This will be displayed as the title on the Correspondent Purchase Advice tool when the fee is itemized.
In the Description field, enter a brief explanation of the fee.
Currently, TPO fees can only be applied to Correspondent loans. Therefore, “Correspondent” is automatically populated to the Channel dropdown list.
In the Fee Amount field:
Select Total or Base Loan Amount, depending on how the fee is calculated (as a percentage of the total or base loan).
In Encompass 17.3 or later, the Total and Base Loan Amount radio buttons have been removed.
Type the fee percentage.
In the +$ field, type any additional amount, if applicable.
In the Code field, type the general account for the fee.
This need not be a unique value since a fee code may be listed multiple times with different effective dates or channels.
- In the Start Date field, select the date from which the fee will be applied to loans based on the loan lock date.
If the current date is prior to the start date, the fee will not be applied to loan. Start date does not have to be entered. This means the fee will be effective immediately and be active up to the end date.
In the End Date field, select the last date for the fee period based on the loan lock date.
If the current date is after this date, the fee will not be applied to loan. End date does not have to be entered. This means the fee will not automatically end after it is past the start date.
In the TPO Fees list, a fee is displayed as Active if Start Date is in the future; Active if the current date is in between the start and end date or if the start and end dates are unspecified; Expired if the End date has occurred in the past.
