Why am I entering some Master Record information in the 1003?

    Some of the data stored in the Master Record is entered in the 1003 as a Master Record field. This eliminates entering the data more than one time. Data in the Master Record can be printed on the 1003.

Do I have to enter estimates of closing costs, PMI, etc., in the 1003 for data I will enter in the Master Record later?

    This estimated information can be left blank and will be totaled and pulled in from Master Record fields. Specific Master Record fields will appear on the bottom of the 1003 screens affected.

    In Rapid App, you should enter the estimated closing costs and all costs associated with the loan application.

When I want to modify the data in the 1003, how do I go directly to a specific screen?

    You can view a specific screen in the 1003 by pressing <SF4> and entering the screen number you wish to display, or you can press <SF8> to view all screens.

If I want to change the terms or amount of the loan, do I make the changes in both the 1003 application and Master Record screens?

How is page 4 of the printed 1003 Application used by MC?

    On page 2 MC prints the name, address, city, state and ZIP Code, and total for the assets and liabilities. MC uses page 4 to print the detail information that corresponds to the individual asset and liability accounts.

Why are some fields skipped by the program?

    If Fields 6 and 7 (co-borrower fields) are left blank, the program will automatically skip all co-borrower fields. On screens where more than one field is available to enter additional information (for example, bank account numbers), if the first field is left blank, the other fields will be skipped.
