The following fields are found in the Payment and Classification field group on the Account tab of the Account Detail screen.

 

laiad_paymentclassification

 

The fields in this field group are as follows:

 

Field

Description

Principal Balance

 

Mnemonic: LNPBAL

This field displays the unpaid principal balance of the loan. It can only be entered, changed, or otherwise affected by teller transactions, which means it cannot be file maintained through this screen. Depending on the kind of loan, a transaction may either reduce or increase this balance.

 

An option is available to open a new loan with a principal balance of zero for line-of-credit loans (payment method 5). This option is requested by work order. For more information, see the description for transaction code 680 in Appendix A of the Loans manual in DocsOnWeb. Institution Option SOVC requires a supervisor override when posting a Principal Decrease transaction (tran code 510-47).

Next Payment Due

 

Mnemonic: NXTPAY

This is the amount of the next payment due. It is the P/I Constant plus Reserve 1/2 Constant, but only if the Payment Application includes paying reserves. If it does not include reserves, then this amount is the P/I Constant.

 

It does not include late charges past due or miscellaneous fees owing.

Balance + Fees

 

Mnemonic: LNWXFEER

This field displays the total balance amount of the loan, plus any additional miscellaneous fees that have incurred. This balance does not include late charges owing or amortizing fees. See the Fees topic on the Loans > Marketing and Collections screen for more information about miscellaneous fees.

PI Constant

 

Mnemonic: LNPICN

The PI Constant field contains the portion of the regular payment that is divided between the amount to interest and amount to principal. This field is calculated by the system. See the Interest Calculation Method Examples description for examples of how the P/I Constant is calculated.

 

When the Pmt Method field below is 5 (line-of-credit) and the Type field below is 2 or 4, this field will be the principal constant and will be the amount to principal only.

Next PI Const

 

Mnemonic: LNPINX

The Next PI Const replaces the PI Constant (above) as the amount of the loan payment. This new payment occurs when the due date is advanced by the system to be greater than the Next PI Effective date below. If modified payments are set up on the loan (through the Loans > Transactions > CP2 screen), this field will display the amount of the next modified payment.

 

For ARM loans, which have a varied interest rate, this amount is automatically calculated based on the information entered on the Loans > Account Information > ARM Information screen. It will be calculated on the number of days entered on that screen in the Days Before Payment P/I Change field before the date entered in the Next PI Effective field below. This amount will also be calculated any time the calculated date is in the past and there is not already something entered in this field.

Reserve 1/2 Constant

 

Mnemonic: LNR1CN+LNR2CN

This is the sum of the reserve 1 constant (LNR1CN) and the reserve 2 constant (LNR2CN), as entered on the Reserve Payment tab of the Loans > Account Information > Reserves > Account Reserve Detail screen. If you want loan payments made by customers to also go toward the reserve payment, reserves must be included with the Payment Application.

Note: If reserves are included in the Payment Application, the Next Payment Due will include the Reserve 1/2 Constant.

Applied To Payment/Partial Payment

 

Mnemonic: LNPRTL

This field serves two different purposes, depending on whether or not the account is a simple interest loan:

 

If the loan is a payment method 0 (conventional loan) or 7 (ARM), this field contains funds paid toward the loan but not applied to the loan. For these types of loans, the field is called Partial Payment.

 

If the account is anything but payment method 0 or 7, this field contains the amount that will be applied toward the next payment due. The name of this field is Applied To Payment

 

See below for more information.

 

Accrued Interest/Interest Due

 

Mnemonic: LNACIN

The name of this field changes if the loan is a conventional loan (payment method 0) or other payment methods.

 

If it is a conventional loan (payment method 0), the name of this field is Interest Due and it shows the amount of unpaid interest owing on the loan from the last payment date up to but not including the Date Last Accrued.

 

For interest-bearing and ARM loans (payment method 6 and 7), this is called Accrued Interest. This is the amount of interest still owing from the Date Interest Paid To (see below) to the last transaction date. If the loan is current (no outstanding payments due), this field will be blank (zero).

 

A GOLDWriter and variable screen mnemonic (LNACRINT) is available that will show accrued loan interest either to or through today. The calculation is the same calculation as the Loans > Payoff screen uses. The mnemonic uses the same institution option as for payoffs to determine if the calculation is to or through today.

 

warningicon40pixels

WARNING: This mnemonic does not use the payoff record. If you have already locked in a payoff record on the Payoff screen, and you run a GOLDWriter report using this mnemonic, but today is not the actual payoff date, the accrued interest may be different on the report than it is on the payoff record.

 

Date Last Accrued

 

Mnemonic: LNDLAC

The date of last interest accrual is the date the system last accrued interest. For conventional loans, this date will always be exactly one frequency of payment behind the due date. Interest for a payment is usually calculated from the date last accrued to the due date for a loan that accrues using a frequency, unless the Interest Calculation Method is 101, 102, or 103.

 

Daily accrual loans (payment method 6) accrue interest from the date last accrued to, but not including, the date a payment is applied or transaction takes place. A precomputed loan accrues from the date last accrued to the next month. Such accrual is performed in batch processing only. Loans with an LIP Method Code of 1 or 101 will accrue to the current date each time an LIP disbursement is made, or the LIP interest rate is changed.

Date Interest Paid To

 

Mnemonic: LNPDTO

This is the date, calculated with each payment, up to which interest has been paid on the loan. This date is not used for interest calculation purposes anywhere in the GOLDPoint System, but is provided on this screen for loan servicing convenience. When charging interest on LIP loans, this date will appear in history. See below for more information.

 

Payment Application

 

Mnemonic: LNAPPL

The Payment Application field is found on both the Account tab and Payment Detail tab of this screen. However, file maintenance is only allowed on the Payment Detail tab using the Payment Application checkboxes. See the Payment Application definition on the Payment Detail tab for more information.

Interest Rate

 

Mnemonic: LNRATE

This is the annual interest rate to the nearest five decimal places. It is the rate entered or calculated at which the payment is being made. To understand how the system uses the interest rate to calculate the P/I Constant, see the Interest Calculation Method Examples topic.

 

For ARM loans (payment method 7), you must enter the interest rate in the Current Rate field on the Loans > Account Information > ARM Information screen for interest to be calculated on this loan. This is generally used with a rate pointer other than "255." If the rate is file maintained on daily simple interest loans (payment method 5 or 6), the accrued interest is recalculated to the current date using the old rate, and the date last accrued is changed to today's date.

YTD Interest

 

Mnemonic: LNYTDI

This is the total amount of interest that a customer has paid on this loan in the current calendar year beginning January 1. It is cleared at the end of each year. This field is maintained by the system. You cannot file maintain this field. For payment method 3 loans (precomputed), this field is blank.

 

Before year-end runs, this field does not include the Deferred Interest Paid this year. Once year-end processing has run, the YTD Interest and Deferred Interest Paid this year are combined and reported to the IRS for mortgage loan accounts. See the Year-to-date Information field group on the Average Balances tab on the Statistics tab of this screen for more information. Once year-end has run, the total YTD Interest (including Deferred Interest Paid) is shown on the Current & Prior Year-to-Date tab for that year.

 

This field does not update if the selected customer loan account is a precomputed loan. If this loan has been assumed by a different person (these are rare) an Assume Date will show (see below), the YTD Interest field clears to zero and then begins tracking the interest paid by the new buyer. See the Assume Date field for more details.

Original Balance

 

Mnemonic: LNOBAL

This field contains the original amount of the loan, which is used to calculate the Original LTV field (on the Loans > Account Information > Additional Loan Fields screen). On loans with precomputed interest (payment method 3), this amount will include the loan principal plus the add-on interest amount. This field is originally entered when the loan is boarded into CIM GOLD. However, you can file maintain this field if necessary and you have the proper security.

 

warningicon40pixels

WARNING: This field feeds to the New Loan Report (FPSRP023) for TFR reporting.

Type

 

Mnemonic: LNTYPE

This is the loan type. The loan type is usually designated at origination, but if you have proper security clearance, you can make changes to this field. The loan type indicates what type of loan this is, such as consumer, direct-cash loans, live checks, first mortgage, etc. Each institution defines the Loan Type differently. Loan Types are also used in loan origination such as eGOLDTrak, GOLDTrak PC, and boarding loans through our APIs using a third-party origination application.

 

The Loan Type is a very important designation. It determines what G/L account to use when certain transactions are run. See the GOLD Services > General Ledger > G/L Account By Loan Type screen for more information.

Class

 

Mnemonic: LNCLAS

The Class field is defined and used within each separate financial institution. Your institution can determine how you want to use the Class field for further loan designation. The Class field is included on many reports (see the Loan Reports manual), and can be used when building institution-specific GOLD Writer reports. The Class field usually designates the loan as being originated from a certain area or state. Most commonly, it designates the state where the loan originated.

 

Certain convenience fees can be tied to loan class. Convenience fees are not allowed on all loan types. Convenience fees allow lending institutions to charge a fee for processing a payment that is out of the ordinary, such through a website, GOLDPhone, or a quick payment through EZPay. See the Fees topic in EZPay for more information concerning convenience fees.

Pmt Method

 

Mnemonic: LNPMTH

This field displays the payment method code. The payment method code determines how to calculate interest and what rules to follow in processing the loan account. Once the payment method has been set up on a loan, it should not be changed. Loans use fields differently for different payment method codes. See below for more information.

 

Pmt Frequency

 

Mnemonic: LNFREQ

Loan payment frequency codes indicate the frequency of the regular loan payment, such as monthly, bi-weekly, bi-monthly, etc. You cannot change payment frequencies from this screen. For interest-bearing loans (payment method 6), you can change the payment frequency using the Loans > Account Information > Payment Information. For signature loans (payment method 16), you can change the frequency using the Loans > Account Information > Signature Loan Details screen.

General Category

 

Mnemonic: LNGENL

Select from this drop-down list the general category of the loan. You can file maintain this field. General Category codes are reported to the credit bureau and are used on OTS reports. See below for a list of possible General Category codes.

 

Hold Code 1-4

 

Mnemonic: LNHLD1, LNHLD2, LNHLD3, LNHLD4

Click the list icon jump and select a hold code from the list that you want applied to this account. The hold codes reflect any restrictions for this account. Up to four hold codes can be selected for each loan. This field also appears on many other screens in the CIM GOLD system. See the Hold Code definitions topic in the Actions/Holds/Event Letters help.

Prepayment Penalty

 

Mnemonic: LNPPEN

This field reflects any prepayment penalties connected with this account. Click on the list icon jump to view a list of prepayment penalty codes and their definitions. The prepayment penalty is set up and file maintained on the Prepayment Penalty tab on this screen.

Due Date

 

Mnemonic: LNDUDT

This is the date the next regular payment is due. It is determined by the system from the code, but can be file maintained if you have the proper security clearance. This field can be used in conjunction with the Due Date Day field (on the Additional Loans Fields screen). The system requires a due date to be on the loan before the loan can be opened. See below for more information.

 

Date Opened

 

Mnemonic: LNOPND

This field displays the date the loan was opened or funded. The system automatically supplies this information when a new loan (tran code 680) is opened through GOLDTrak PC. For loans with precomputed interest (payment method 3), this field is one of the keys for calculating refunds of precomputed interest. Although the system enters the data for this field, it is file maintainable.

Maturity Date

 

Mnemonic: LNMATD

This field displays the date the last payment is due on the customer loan account (and the date the loan should be paid off). All loans must have a designated maturity date except payment methods 5 (revolving line-of-credit) and 8 (rental accounts), otherwise payments cannot be posted. See below for more information.

 

If the Stop Recurring Payment at Maturity box is selected on the Payment Information screen, recurring payments made on loans after the Maturity Date will be rejected and shown on the Exception Items Report (FPSRP013). You will need to remove the recurring payment if this option is selected and the loan reaches maturity.

 

Late charges stop assessing once the loan reaches the Maturity Date if the Stop Late Charge if Past Current Maturity? box on the Late/NSF tab is selected on the account. Grace Days applies to this as well, so it will still assess a late charge if the loan is past the Maturity Date, but within the Grace Days. (Example: Maturity Date is 11/19/2018 and Grace Days is 10. If a payment isn't made by 11/29/2019, the system will assess a late charge that last month, but it will not assess one the following month if a payment is not made.)

 

Note: Usually the Original Maturity Date (MLOMAT) and Maturity Date (LNMATD) are identical. However, sometimes the maturity date's may be different if a deferment was made or other reasons. The Original Maturity Date is found on the Additional Loan Fields screen > Origination/Maturity tab.

 

Term in Months

 

Mnemonic: LNTERM

This field contains the term of the loan in months. It is used in calculating rebates on loans with precomputed interest (payment method 3), and in determining the remaining term of ARM (payment method 7) loans.

 

warningicon40pixels

WARNING: This field is used to calculate payments and should reflect the number of calendar months over which the loan is being amortized. This is not always the same number as the maturity date of a loan.

Next PI Effective

 

Mnemonic: LNPIEF

This field contains the principal/interest effective date, which is the date that the Next P/I Constant (see above) should replace the P/I Constant (see above). See below for more information.

 

Assume Date

 

Mnemonic: LNASDT

This field displays the date this loan was last assumed. It controls the interest being reported for the new borrower. Only interest paid after this date will be reported for the new borrower. If the loan was assumed (see Loans > Loan Assumption screen), once the assumption is completed, this field is updated by the Assumption Date.

Payoff Date

 

Mnemonic: LNCLDT

This date represents the date this loan was paid off. This field will be updated when a payoff transaction code 580 is processed. A payoff correction code 588 will clear the field. See below for more information.

 

SIC

 

Mnemonic: MLSIC1

This field displays the Standard Industrial Code (SIC) number.

NAICS

 

Mnemonic: MLSIC2

This field displays the North American Industrial Code Standards (NAICS) number. See below for more information.

 

Entire Payment Rolls Due Date

 

Mnemonic: LNEPMT

Checkmark this box if you want this loan to roll the Due Date when an entire payment is made (the amount collected is greater than or equal to the Next Payment Due). This does not apply if miscellaneous loan fees are collected before principal, interest, and late charges (Payment Application starts with 7 (loan fees)).

 

The program will compare what was collected to the Next Payment Due minus anything in the Roll Due Date Within field to determine whether a full payment was made.

 

There is a field that doesn't appear on any screens in CIM GOLD but is used to track late charges when using the SPREAD routine (see Use Spread Payments option on the Payment Detail tab). This field is called LNVESC. As payments are spread to the different parts of the loan according to the Payment Application, this field and the other tracking fields will track how much of the Partial Payment goes to principal and interest, reserves, P/I fees, and late charges, in the event a full payment isn't made.

 

Note: Miscellaneous loan fees are not included in the full payment calculation. If a full payment was made, the Due Date will roll ahead one month. If part of the full payment was applied to late charges, then either the entire amount of the payment or just the principal and interest portion will be credited to the Applied To Payment field, depending on which option you have set.

 

Note: The amount of late charges paid in one payment or cycle cannot exceed one P/I Constant.

 

Last Transaction

 

Mnemonic: LNTRAN

This field contains the date of the last transaction on this account. The system supplies this date through the teller transactions, and the field is not file maintainable. This field is also updated by tran code 520 (Assess finance charge) for payment method 5 loans. Backdated Transactions: If a transaction is backdated, this field will display the backdated effective date, not the date the transaction was actually processed.

Last Activity

 

Mnemonic: LNACTV

This field contains the date of the last activity on this account. The system supplies this date, and it is not file maintainable. If you want to find more information on the last activity, see the Loans > History screen to bring up the history of the account.

Type of Activity

 

Mnemonic: LNACTP

This field gives a code referring to the type of activity that occurred on the date in the Last Activity field above. It is entered by the system and cannot be file maintained. See below for a list of possible codes in this field.
