Introduction

The Lender update is part of the Notes Payable module, a separately purchased module of LeasePak. The Lender update is used to add, change, or delete lender information.

Once a lender has been added to the system, it may be associated with notes payable using the New Note Payable update [U0901]. A lender is independent of portfolio, company, region, and office, which means that notes payable in different P/C/R/Os may be assigned to the same Lender number.

When adding a lender, the user may either add the lender as a completely new client (if the lender does not exist in the system in any form), or as a new relationship for an existing client (if the lender already exists in the system, but only as a broker, guarantor, etc.). For more information on clients and relationships, refer to the Client Relationship section of LeasePak Key Structure.

If Client Cloning Module is purchased, t

The option of cloning a new lender from an existing client will be available through Client Search screen.

As with all client relationships, the Lender number is a 9-character alphanumeric field, which must be unique system-wide. It may be assigned automatically by LeasePak (an increasing sequential number) or entered by the user. The CLIENT NUMBERING METHOD (system assigned or user entered) is specified through the Miscellaneous option of the Custom General update [U0712].

The LeasePak terminology "lender" may be changed through the Account Customizations option of the Custom General update [U0712]. The three forms (up to 3, 5, or 10 characters) of the lender alias should be specified. Refer to the Custom General update [U0712] for more information on defining account aliases.

The Address tab is used to add or change a lender address and contact information.

  Enter a Lender number for the lender to be added. To perform a client search for current lenders, click . When entering a number that inlcludes letters, use uppercase letters A-Z.

Note: The ability to change the Lender number when adding a new lender is determined by the CLIENT NUMBERING METHOD (as set up in the Custom General update [U0712]), and the user's security (as set up in the Custom Security update [U0706]). If the CLIENT NUMBERING METHOD is set up for manual entry, a new Lender number may be entered by any user with the ability to access this update. If the CLIENT NUMBERING METHOD is not set for manual entry, the new Lender number automatically assigned may only be changed by a user having sufficient privilege. Refer to the Security update [U0706] or Custom General update [U0712] for more information.
