During the application process, users are able to input the terms of the loan. These terms are used to determine the loan calculations and payback information. Users are also able to input information used by the institution such as loan tracking and HMDA information.

Depending on the configuration of screens and workflow models, this process can vary. Institutions may employ multiple application screens to capture loan terms for each loan sub-product. A screen that captures basic loan term information may be assigned to the Workflow, while a more thorough screen may be assigned to the Screens section.

Loan Terms Information

The screen used to capture loan terms is a user-defined Application screen that enables users to collect loan term information. The following list encompasses the panels or logical field groupings that may be configured at an institution:

• General Calculations
  • Solve For
  • Save and Calculate
  • Calculate Preview
• Loan Terms Breakdown
• Repayment Information
• Dates
• Add-On Refinance
• Interest Rates
• Introductory Rates
• Variable Rates
• Debt Protection
• Fees
• Loan Tracking
• HMDA
• Credit Card Information

The fields that pertain to the above loan terms can be collected in various application panels. These panels can be assigned to one or across multiple user-defined screens. Refer to the Screens section of the Administrator Guide for more information on configuring loan terms screens and panels.

General Calculations

Depending on the configuration of the loan terms screen, a user-defined general calculations panel may be configured to capture the basic loan calculation information.

Basic loan term fields, such as Requested Amount, Term, Payment Frequency, and Payment Amount, allow users to input the desired loan terms or build scenarios. To assist users in building loan term scenarios, the Solve For field is configurable to the loan term screen. If configured, the Solve For field enables users to input the desired loan terms and solve for the Payment, Term, and Requested Amount. This enables users to input known values and solve for desired customer terms.

Also included in basic calculations is the ability to indicate Loan Type and Payment Type. Other configurable loan term fields that may affect loan calculations are Doc Stamp Program, Doc Stamp Rate, and Doc Stamp Amount.

Dates

Depending on the configuration of the application screen, users may be able to collect dates associated with the loan application while processing loan terms.

 

Collecting dates allows users to indicate important loan dates such as Disbursed Date, First Due Date, Right of Rescission Date, Closing Date, and Billing Cycle.

Dates such as First Notification Date, Second Notification Date, and Expiration Date are used by the Automatic Withdraw process, which allow the Loan or Account Origination modules to withdraw applications which have not been Disbursed or Withdrawn. These fields indicate the dates when the module sends warning emails to the applicants and automatically withdraws applications. For more information on Automatic Withdraw, refer to the Automatic Withdraw topic.

When inputting dates, users are able to click anywhere in the field to prompt a calendar. Use the calendar to select the desired date. Once a date is selected, the calendar closes and the date populates in the field.

In addition to selecting the date from the calendar, users are able to input dates by entering the shortcuts such as:

Beginning of the Month

Details	Format	Examples
Plus or Minus Days Plus Beginning of Month	+/- D + BOM	+5D+BOM -7D+BOM
Plus or Minus Months Plus Beginning of Month	+/-M + BOM	+1M+BOM -2M+BOM
Plus or Minus Years Plus Beginning of Month	+/-Y + BOM	+1Y+BOM -2Y+BOM

End of the Month

Details	Format	Examples

Add On/Refinance Panel

While entering an application's loan terms, users may be able to determine if the application is an Add-On or Refinance loan.

The image below displays an example of the Add On/Refinance panel when the Host supports Real Time parameter is set to Yes by the system administrator in the System tab of the Origination page in System Management.

Within the top of the Add On/Refinance panel, users can select one of the following options to determine whether a liability is being added onto or refinanced:

Loan Type	Description
Add-On	Allows the limit of an existing core liability to be increased. Add-on loans update the existing liability, and do not create a new loan record. Only internal liabilities with the ECOA Codes "I," "J," "S," "NA," "U," and “M” are eligible for add-on transactions. When creating an Add-On application, ensure that all correct parties are added to the application prior to proceeding with an Add-On application for a Liability with an ECOA Code of M.
Refinance	Creates a new core liability to pay off an existing liability. By default, only internal liabilities are eligible for refinance. However, external liabilities may be enabled through configurations made in the Origination page in System Management. Refinance Applications are not restricted by ECOA code.

The grid in the panel displays liability data within the following columns:

Column/Field	Description
Account #	Indicates a liability's account number. When the Trade Category for a Liability is Credit Card or Department Store, all but the last four digits of the credit card account number appear masked within the Account # field to be in compliance with the PCI regulations that require credit card numbers to be masked, and not displayed in clear text on a screen. While this functionality cannot be disabled, the  icon that appears in the Account # field does provide the ability to temporarily unmask the value of the credit card number by hovering over the icon. Navigating away from the icon once again masks the credit card account number. The ability to unmask the value of the credit number is determined by the system administrator. If a user is not granted permission to view masked fields, a tool-tip is presented to the user when hovering over the  icon to identify that permission to unmask the field is not enabled. To provide a user with the ability to unmask fields, set the View Masked Fields permission to View under the Application Processing category in the Permissions tab of System Management > Users, or System Management > Origination > Groups > Security Groups.
Product Code	Indicates the category of an external liability.
Creditor	Indicates the creditor holding an external liability.
Applicant	Indicates which applicant is the owner of the liability according to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act code indicated on the credit report.
Balance	Indicates a liability's remaining balance.
Payment	Indicates a liability's payment amount.
Limit	Indicates the limit of a liability if open-ended.
Last Payment Date	Indicates the date the last payment was processed.
Maturity Date	Indicates the maturity date of a closed-end liability.
Payoff Amount	Indicates a liability's payoff amount.
Collateral Description	Provides a brief description of the collateral used to secure the loan for internal/core liabilities. The ability to populate this data is only supported for certain cores. For more information, please see the applicable core connector guide for the institution.

The liabilities that populate within the Add On/Refinance panel are sorted into two collapsible headings:

• External Liabilities - The external liabilities section displays all non-core liabilities with a balance greater than $0.00. 
• Internal Liabilities - The internal liabilities section displays all eligible core liabilities.

Processing Add-On and Refinance Transactions

To process an add-on or refinance application:

• Select the panel check box to activate the Add On/Refinance grid.
• Select a check box in the top of the panel to indicate if the application is an Add-On, or a Refinance.
• Within the grid, select the desired loan for the Add-On/Refinance.

  Only one liability may be selected for an Add-On application; however, multiple internal and external liabilities may be selected for refinance applications.

• If the core supports real-time payoff requests, selecting the desired liability updates the Total Payoff Amount Included in the Loan Amount field with the corresponding liability value. If the liability's payoff amount differs from what is quoted in the grid, users are able to edit the Payoff Amount field.

Has Credit Life	If an application is an Open-End Add-On, users are required to indicate if the existing liability has Credit Life protection. Selecting Yes overrides debt protection age eligibility validations. If an applicant exceeds the age eligibility for a plan, users are not prevented from adding Credit Life protection to cover the increased liability. Selecting No enforces age eligibility validations for debt protection. If an applicant exceeds the age eligibility for a plan, validations prevent the user from adding Credit Life protection to cover the increased liability. This field is only enabled and required for Open-End Add-On loans.
Has Credit Disability	If an application is an Open-End Add-On, users are required to indicate if the existing liability has Credit Disability protection. Selecting Yes overrides debt protection age eligibility validations. If an applicant exceeds the age eligibility for a plan, users are not prevented from adding Credit Disability protection to cover the increased liability. Selecting No enforces age eligibility validations for debt protection. If an applicant exceeds the age eligibility for a plan, validations prevent the user from adding Credit Disability protection to cover the increased liability. This field is only enabled and required for Open-End Add-On loans.
Has Involuntary Unemployment	If an application is an Open-End Add-On, users are required to indicate if the existing liability has Credit Disability protection. Selecting Yes overrides debt protection age eligibility validations. If an applicant exceeds the age eligibility for a plan, users are not prevented from adding Credit Disability protection to cover the increased liability. Selecting No enforces age eligibility validations for debt protection. If an applicant exceeds the age eligibility for a plan, validations prevent the user from adding Credit Disability protection to cover the increased liability. This field is only enabled and required for Open-End Add-On loans.

Beneath the aforementioned fields, the protection plan response grid displays a row for each protection plan generated.

The associated plan costs populate within the columns. If any pertinent plan-related information exists, the Messages column populates with an information icon. Click the icon to display the plan messages. The message displayed is informational, and only applies when solving for term or when solving using a billing percentage loan.

Application Calculations 

Calculations are performed based on the Terms entered within a given application. They also take into consideration any financed Debt Protection, Fees, Cross-sell amounts, etc. that are included.

Calculations run synchronously during the processing of an application, and are triggered by the following events within Temenos Infinity:

• During Decision Processing
• Prior to creating documents
• Prior to Disbursement
• Upon closing the current application
• Upon selecting the Calculate button within the Loan Terms panel
• Upon selecting the Calculate button within the Application Toolbar
• During execution of an Event Processing pair configured to include the Execute Calculate Application action.

  When the calculate process is run as a result of the Execute Calculate Application action, the application must be refreshed to see the updated values. It is highly recommended that areas such as Fees, Aggregates, and Ratios are reviewed after the application is calculated to ensure that none of the values were duplicated during the calculation process. If an error occurs during execution of the action, a notification is received in the application workspace. Click More Information in the notification window to identify what caused the error to occur during the calculation process.

Calculating Draw and Repayment Period

When entering loan terms, the ability to enter information for Draw Period Terms and Repayment Period Terms is dependent on the value of the Loan Type, Real Estate Type, and Convert to Closed End set for the loan.

Draw Period and Repayment Period terms cannot be entered for a closed-end loan, or an open-end loan where Real Estate Type is set to None, and Convert to Closed End is set to No.

When the Loan Type for an application is Open End, the following fields are editable in the Loan Terms screen if the Real Estate Type for the loan is Home Equity, or Real Estate Type = None and Convert to Closed End = Yes for the application type:

• Application > Loan Real Estate > Repayment Payment Amount
• Application > Loan Real Estate > Repayment Payment Type
• Application > Loan Real Estate > Repayment Period Term
• Application > Loan Real Estate > Repayment Principal Payment Amount
• Application > Loan Real Estate > Repayment Solve For
• Application > Term

Comparison of Term to Payment Frequency

When performing calculations, the system validates the term of the loan entered against the payment frequency. If the term entered for the loan application compared to the payment frequency is not a whole number, the module rounds the term and displays a warning message to the output that the Term was changed. For example, a loan officer enters the Term as 14 and Payment Frequency as annual. With a Payment Frequency of annual, the term should be a full year, which means that the term must be 12, 24, 36 and so on.

Calculations for Closed-End Loans

When a closed-end loan is calculated, fields such as Amount, Pre-Paid Finance Charge, and Is Military APR are set based on the calculated values of the fees, finance charges, and/or non-loan cross-sell products on the application.

The table below provides an overview of the Amount to Other calculator fields that are set in an application for a closed-end loan:

If Fee/Finance Charge	Then Set Amount to Other Calculator Fields
If Total Finance Charge Fees In Loan Amount > 0	Then set the following Amount to Other calculator fields: Amount = Total Finance Charges in Loan Amount Pre-Paid Finance Charge = True Is Military APR (For Fees) = True
If Total NonFinance Charge Fees In Loan Amount > 0 and there are one or more fees where Include In Loan Amount = False and IsMilitaryAPR = True	Then set the following Amount to Other calculator fields: Amount = Total of Actual Amount in fees where Include in Loan Amount = True and Is Military APR = True Pre-Paid Finance Charge = False Is Military APR (For Fees) = True
If Total NonFinance Charge Fees In Loan Amount > 0, and there are one or more fees where Include In Loan Amount = False and Is Military APR = False	Then set the following Amount to Other calculator fields: Amount = Total of Actual Amount in fees where Include in Loan Amount = True and Is Military APR = False Pre-Paid Finance Charge = False Is Military APR (For Fees) = False
If there are one or more Cross-Sells where Is Military APR = True, Include in Loan Amount = True and Response = Yes	Then set the following Amount to Other calculator fields: Amount = Total of Amount in Cross-Sells where Is Military APR = True, Include in Loan Amount = True and Response = Yes Pre-Paid Finance Charge = False Is Military APR (For Fees) = True

Once the above calculations are performed, the value for the Military APR and Military APR Total Fees fields are also updated in the application. 

Calculations for HOEPA APR

The HOEPA APR is used to determine if a transaction is a high-cost mortgage. During the calculation process, the Amortization process calculates the HOEPA APR in both open and closed-end Home Equity applications, and displays the value within the Details panel in the Calculation Preview screen.

Reference the flowchart below for an overview of how the HOEPA APR is calculated in a Home Equity application:

Requested Term

The Application > Requested Term provides the ability to define a custom term value (in months) for the loan, which can then be set in an application, and automatically populated into the Application > Term, or Application > Balloon Term field.

This field includes all values configured for the REQUESTED_TERM lookup by the system administrator in System Management > Origination > Field Configurations.

If the Payment Type for a loan is Balloon, the value set within the Requested Term field automatically populates within the Application > Balloon Term field. If the Payment Type is not Balloon, the value set for Requested Term populates within the Application > Term field.

Update Final Loan Amount

Using the Update Final Loan Amount field, institutions are able to automatically perform a reverse calculation of fees, cross-sell offers, down payments, etc. to determine the base loan amount or requested loan amount when the final loan amount is updated in an application.

For example, a dealer submits an application to Temenos Infinity, and it is automatically approved. While the paperwork is being completed at the dealer, the applicant is able to negotiate a lower price and fees. The dealer updates the contract and re-submits the application with the modified loan amount to the financial institution. The financial institution sets the Update Final Loan Amount field to true, and enters the new final loan amount provided by the dealer in the Temenos application. When the loan is re-calculated, the system automatically performs the calculations in reverse order to set the Loan Proceeds based on the updated Final Loan Amount.

Field Logic

The Update Final Loan Amount field automatically performs reverse calculations of an application's loan terms when the Final Loan Amount is modified, but also determines the editability of the Base Loan Amount, Final Loan Amount, and Requested Loan Amount fields in the Loan Terms screen.

The table below provides an overview of the logic used to enable or disable the Base Loan Amount, Final Loan Amount, and Requested Loan Amount fields based on the value set for Update Final Loan Amount in the application:

Update Final Loan Amount	Field Behavior
	Base Loan Amount	Final Loan Amount	Requested Amount
Set to False	Active	Disabled	Active when the loan is not decisioned, and disabled after a decision is rendered.
