System Requirements & SDK Upgrade Requirement for
Encompass
            Have you reviewed the latest System Requirements and upgraded the SDK?

Before downloading or applying this new Encompass release, it is important to verify the latest system
requirements for Encompass client machines. Please review the System Requirements for Encompass to
ensure your environment meets the requirements needed to operate Encompass successfully.

For a major Encompass release like this one, the Encompass SDK (Encompass Software Development Kit)
run time environment must be upgraded to match the newly updated Encompass Server. If you fail to
upgrade the SDK your application will not be permitted to connect to the updated Encompass Server. If your
SDK application utilizes the Encompass SmartClient, you can automate this process so the SDK is
upgraded automatically every time you apply a major Encompass release. If your SDK application is
installed on a computer at your location, you must manually upgrade the SDK for every major release. For
instructions for automating the upgrade process or manually upgrading the SDK, refer to the Upgrading the
Encompass SDK page or view the SDK Programmer’s Guide .

Visit the Encompass SDK and Other Install Files page to access the SDK install files for this release.

Install Files and Downloads
Visit the Encompass SDK and Other Install Files page to access the latest download links to common
tools, including eFolder print drivers and the Encompass Document Converter.

URLA Updates
Updated Calculation for Total of Other Assets Applied to the Loan
(Added on 1/15/2021)

For loans using the new URLA Forms, an update has been made to the calculation for Total of Other Assets
Applied to the Loan (field ID URLA.X151) on the 1003 URLA – Lender input form to conform with the method
adopted by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for updating the cash to close amount with other assets tagged as
credits.

The Total of Other Assets Applied to the Loan now includes amounts listed in section 2b. Other Assets
You Have on the 1003 URLA Part 3 that have any of the following options selected for Asset Typed:

     n     Earnest Money

     n     Employer Assistance

     n     Lot Equity

     n     Relocation Funds

     n     Rent Credit

     n     Sweat Equity

     n     Trade Equity

To support this calculation, the following new options have been added to the Other Assets drop-down list:

     n     Lot Equity

     n     Relocation Funds

Feature Enhancements in Version 21.1

            This update changes the existing workflow in which these types of purchase credits
            are documented only in the Qualifying the Borrower table, since these credits are
            now covered in the calculation for Total of Other Assets Applied to the Loan. The
            Fannie Mae export functionality has also been updated to ensure that the Total of
            Other Assets Applied to the Loan does not duplicate the credit section of Other
            Assets.

Example:

If a borrower documents that they have Sweat Equity being applied to the loan in the Other Assets section
of the 1003 URLA Part 3, this amount is now included in the Qualifying the Borrower section (previously
Details of Transaction) on the 1003 URLA-Lender input form. The amount is included in the calculation for
Total of Other Assets Applied to the Loan, which is part of the Total Credits. If the amount provided by the
borrower is not approved to be applied to the loan file, the value in Other Assets must be modified to be
correctly included in cash to close.

input forms and apply one to the loan they are working on. Starting in Encompass 21.1, loan team members
can now also select a buydown type from the new Buydown Type field that is provided in the Buydown
Mortgage section of the 1003 URLA -Lender input form. The Buydown Type field includes a lookup ability
that users can utilize to select a Temporary Buydown type that is created using the Temporary Buydown
setting.

   To Apply a Buydown Type to a Loan:

       1. On the 1003 URLA – Lender form, select the Buydown check box in the Buydown Mortgage
           section.

           contributor must be selected prior to the Buydown Type field being enabled.
       3. Click the Lookup icon (magnifying glass).
       4. Select a buydown type from the list, and then click OK.

                   2-1, 2-1, and 1-0 buydown types are available to select and apply to the loan here.
                   These types may have been modified by the administrator. Additional buydown types
                   created by the administrator will also be listed here.
               n   The rate and term of the buydown is applied to the loan.
               n   The Buydown Type, Rate and Term information will be cleared when the user updates
                   the Contributor field (CASASRN.X141) from Borrower to a non-borrower Contributor
                   option OR from a non-borrower to a Borrower contributed buydown.
               n   The Buydown Type, Rate and Term information will not be cleared if the user updates

Electronic Document Management
Effective Dates Now Considered When Adding Automated Enhanced Conditions to the
eFolder
(Added on 1/27/2021)

When configuring an enhanced condition template, administrators can use the Effective Dates section of
the Enhanced Conditions settings screen to indicate the dates for when the condition starts to be required
for the loan and stops being required for the loan. These dates are designed to determine when loan team
members will have access to this condition in a loan. When the dates are no longer effective, the loan team
members will not see this condition template in the list of conditions to add to the eFolder in the loan.
Although these Effective Dates options were available in the Enhanced Conditions setting, they were not
being enforced in the loan files. Starting in Encompass 21.1, these dates are now enforced for automated
enhanced conditions. Automated enhanced conditions will be listed for loan team members and available to
be added to the eFolder only if the condition’s effective start date is earlier than the current date (i.e.,
“today’s date”) and the condition’s effective end date is later than the current date.

to acquire the field data, the time it takes to run reports may increase.

In a future Encompass release, this check box will be selected by default and it will be disabled (grayed out)

your SDK. If your SDK application utilizes the Encompass SmartClient, you can automate this process so
the SDK is upgraded automatically every time you apply an Encompass release. If your SDK application is
installed on a computer at your location, you must manually upgrade the SDK for every release. For
instructions for automating the upgrade process or manually upgrading the SDK, refer to the Upgrading the
Encompass SDK page or view the SDK Programmer’s Guide.

Visit the Encompass SDK Install Files page to access the SDK install files for this release.

            Again, upgrading to this latest SDK package is recommended, but not required, for
            this 21.1.0.1 update.

HUD 1003 Addendum Input Form Updated
(Added on 2/9/2021)

On December 22, 2020 the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) published the Mortgagee Letter (ML)
2020-49, Revised Form HUD-92900-A, HUD Addendum to Uniform Residential Loan Application, which
announced the availability of a revised and renewed version of the HUD-92900-A. Mortgagees may use the
revised and renewed form immediately and are required to use it for case numbers assigned on or after
March 22, 2021.

The new version of the HUD-92900-A now includes two separate sections to list the ID, name, and address
for the Sponsor and for the Agent. To support this update, a new Check if entity is acting as Agent check
box (field ID ) has been added between the Lender ID Code (section 13) and Sponsor ID Code (section 14)
on the HUD 1003 Addendum input form.

When the check box is selected:

    n   Information from section 14 on the HUD 1003 Addendum input form is populated to the Agent ID
        section of the output form.

    n   Information from section 16 on the HUD 1003 Addendum input form is populated to the Name and
        Address of Agent section of the output form.

Updates to the Property Type Section on the 1003 URLA-Lender Input Form
(Added on 2/9/2021)

For loans using the new URLA forms, the following updates have been made to the Property Type section
on the 1003 URLA-Lender input form:

    n   Instructional text has been added below the Property Type label and above the check boxes to let
        user know that they should select at least one of the Project Type check boxes.

Feature Enhancements for Version 21.1.0.1

    n   The Attachment Type field (field ID ULDD.X177) has been added to the 1003 URLA – Lender input
        form below the check boxes to enable users to select Attached, Detached, and SemiDetached
        options for the attachment type.

The Attachment Type drop-down is an existing field that previously displayed only on the Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac tabs on the ULDD/PDD input form. The field was added to enable user to define the
attachment type for the project directly on the 1003 URLA – Lender input form. The Attachment Type field is
used in conjunction with the Project Type (field ID 1041) to populate data included in the Uniform Loan
Delivery Dataset (ULDD) file.

If Attached or Detached is selected for the Property Type, the same value is populated by default in the
Attachment Type drop-down list. This is a one-way copy from the Property Type field. A user can then
change the Attachment Type without affecting the selection made for the Property type.

Update to the Field Mapping for Attachment Type When Importing Loan Files
(Added on 2/9/2021)

When importing a MISMO 3.4 loan file, the AttachmentType value from the MISMO file now maps to the
Attachment Type drop-down list (field ID ULDD.X177) in Encompass. Previously, this value was mapping to
the Property Type (field ID 1041). The Property Type (field ID 1041) is no longer exported or imported for
MISMO 3.4 files.

            When exporting ULAD data for Fannie Mae Desktop Underwriter (DU), the
            Attachment Type drop-down list is now mapped to the AttachmentType in the
            export.
