Navigation: Appendix A - Merge Field Descriptions (Loans) >
Event 41 calculates the new P/I while the loan is still in the construction process. If the LIP method code is 1 or 101 and the loan fields on the ARM Loan Information screen (payment method 6 or 7 loans) call for a P/I change, the system will calculate the new loan accrual rate and P/I constant.
WARNING
While the loan is in the construction process and payments are posted, the installment number (on the Loans > Account Information > Account Detail, Payment Detail tab) does not increase (it remains zero). Depending on the number of remaining months to be used in the P/I calculation, you may have to manually enter the installment number either from the pattern or prior to the system calculation. Example: You have a construction/permanent loan with a term of 360 months. The first 9 months is the construction period. The mortgage payments on the permanent loan are to amortize over 351 months. In order for the new P/I to be calculated correctly, the installment number should be 9. |
