Temenos Lifecycle Management Suite - Loan Origination Product Guide
Liabilities

While processing an application, the Loan Origination module is able to capture applicant liabilities. If an applicant is a current account holder, the module searches the core for liabilities. The Loan Origination module also retrieves applicant liabilities from a credit report. If liabilities are located on the core or retrieved from a credit report, the liabilities of each applicant automatically populate within the Liabilities grid that appears in the Liabilities screen and Liabilities panel.

In addition to retrieving liabilities from the institution’s core and credit report, users are able to manually add liabilities that are not held by the institution or tracked by a credit report from the Liabilities screen and Liabilities panel.

When an address is added to an application, and Purchase is selected within the Status field in the Applicant Address screen, the address is added to the application as a Mortgage liability. The information populates in the Liabilities grid with the Housing Loan Balance and Monthly Expense amount identified within the Applicant Address screen and the liability is automatically flagged as a secured housing expense.

The Liabilities screen is a system-defined screen that can be configured to appear in an application by the system administrator.

The Liabilities panel is a system-defined panel that system administrators can configure to appear within an Application screen assigned to the sub-product's workflow model.

Depending on the configuration of the workflow model, the Liabilities screen and/or the Application screen including the Liabilities panel may be assigned to the Workflow and/or Screen section of the Application Navigator.

For more information on the Application Navigator, please see the Application Navigator section of the Lifecycle Management Suite Workspace topic.
The Liabilities panel and the Add-On/Refinance panel contain the same data. If the screen that contains the Liabilities panel also contains the Add-On/Refinance panel, data updated on the most-recent panel added to the screen by a system administrator is saved and overwrites the data updated on the other panel. 

Within both the Liabilities screen and Liabilities panel, the first row of data is automatically highlighted green to represent the liability record for the current application.

This liability record cannot be edited and is marked secured or unsecured based on the Secured configuration for the application's sub-product.

A toolbar is located at the top of the screen and panel to provide users with the ability to perform the following functions:

Icon Description
Allows a user to add an applicant liability to the current application.

Allows a user to edit an applicant liability that is assigned to the current application.

Allows a user to remove an applicant liability from the current application.

Within the grid that appears, information for each liability is distributed across the following columns:

The Liabilities panel provides administrators with the ability to configure the columns that display in the panel, as well as the label that appears for each column. Additionally, some fields that are available to add to the Liabilities panel do not appear within the Liabilities screen; therefore, the columns of information that appear in the Liabilities screen and panel may differ for each institution.
When liabilities are imported from the core and/or a credit report, not all columns contain a value as some information is not relevant to all liability types. When a liability is added or edited from the Liabilities screen or Liabilities panel, the columns display the value of each completed field.
Column/Field Description
Secured

If an item is identified as a secured liability, the check box is selected. For more information on this functionality, please see the section below:

ShowSecured and Unsecured Liabilities

The Secured column is available within the Liabilities grid to identify a liability as secured or unsecured. As previously mentioned, the information that appears within the Liabilities grid is imported from the core, which is in turn imported from a credit report tradeline or manually added within the Liabilities grid.

When liabilities are imported from the core system, they are marked as unsecured by default. When liabilities are imported from a credit report tradeline, they are identified as secured or unsecured according to the mapping defined in the table below:

System administrators can configure TradeProcessing rules to execute during the application process to override the mapping below for liabilities imported from a credit report and/or configure Applicant Import rules to modify the value of the IsSecured field for a liability imported from the Core system. 

Secured Liabilities Unsecured Liabilities
Real Estate Credit Card
Automobile Department Store
Furniture Education (Student Loans)
Boat/Yacht Utility/Rent
Recreational Vehicle (Camper, Motor Home) Medical
Miscellaneous Retail
Not Specified
When creating concurrent applications as a liability, the liability is marked as secured or unsecured based on the value of the Secured flag for the concurrent application’s sub-product. For more information, please see the Loan Application Types- Sub-Products topic in the Administrator Guide.

When a liability is added or edited from the Liabilities grid, users are able to manually set the value of the Secured field within the Edit Liabilities screen.

By default, the Editability of the Application.IsSecured field only allows editing pre-decision. However, the Editability of this field can be modified by a system administrator in System Management > Origination > Editability.

Users can identify a liability as secured by selecting the Secured checkbox or identify it as unsecured by deselecting the checkbox. Once the desired Secured value appears for the liability, click  to retain the changes and return to the Liabilities screen.

Expense If the item is identified as an expense, the check box is selected.
Refi

If the item is identified as a refinance, the check box is selected.

Replacement and Consolidation cross-sells automatically select the liability Refi check box for the liabilities being refinanced or consolidated within the child applications created by the cross-sell.
Housing If the item is identified as a housing expense, the check box is selected.
% Include Indicates the percent of the liability value included as the applicant’s.
If not manually updated, the % Include field defaults to 100, which denotes that 100% of the liability is to be included in the application.

When the value of % Include is updated for a concurrent application liability, the adjusted value continues to appear within the % Include column after the application is re-decisioned.

In some instances, when a configuration change is made, such as a rule update for concurrent application processing, the system is not able to store the adjustment percentage for existing applications on the first decision. If this occurs, the value of % Include reverts back to 100% when an in progress concurrent application is re-decisioned for the first time; after the first time the application is re-decisioned, the updated value is maintained within the % Include column for the concurrent application liability.

By default, some fields, such as Secured and Expense, can only be edited pre-decision. However, the Editability of these fields can be modified by the system administrator in System Management > Origination > Editability.
