Introduction

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

If Client Cloning Module is purchased, the option of cloning a new guarantor from an existing guarantor will be available, using the Client Search screen.

Once a guarantor has been added to the system, it may then be associated with multiple applications and/or leases. Note that a guarantor is independent of portfolio, company, region, and office (P/C/R/O). That is, the same Guarantor number may be assigned to applications and/or leases in different P/C/R/Os.

The Guarantor 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 term "guarantor" may be changed through the Account Customizations option of the Custom General update [U0712]. Refer to the Custom General update [U0712] for more information on defining account aliases.

Fields for adding or changing a guarantor are arranged onto five tabs. All information required to set up a new guarantor (SHORT NAME, NAME, ADDRESS 1, CITY, STATE and ZIP) appears on the Address tab.

 

Guarantor Address Tab

The address tab is used for address and contact information for the guarantor, as well as the default portfolio/company/region/office.

• NUMBER
  If adding an entirely new Guarantor, enter a new number for the guarantor. Press HELP for a list of current guarantors to find the next available number. If adding a guarantor cloned from another client or changing a previously added guarantor, the number is displayed. When adding a number that includes letters, use uppercase letters A-Z.

The ability to change the Guarantor number when adding a new guarantor 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 Security update [U0706]). If the CLIENT NUMBERING METHOD is set for manual entry, a new Guarantor 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 Guarantor 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.

• SHORT NAME
  Enter or change the short name for this guarantor. Note that this field is at the client level, so changes will affect all relationships for the client. For example, if the guarantor being added or changed also exists on the system as a lessee (same client number), then a change to the short name here would also affect the short name for the lessee relationship. When other relationships are affected, a warning message will be displayed.

Since the short name will be used for the client search, it is suggested that personal names be entered in the following order:

LAST, FIRST MIDDLE (for example: SUAREZ, MARIA J.)

If the ALLOW CLIENT RECORD NAME CHANGES switch in the Security [U0706] update is not selected, the user will be restricted from changing the short name of an existing Guarantor and the field will be display only.

• SS/BUS ID
  Enter or change the social security/business ID number for this guarantor, if available. Note that this field is at the client level, so changes will affect all relationships for the client. When other relationships are affected, a warning message will be displayed.

If the ALLOW CLIENT RECORD NAME CHANGES switch in the Security [U0706] update is not selected, the user will be restricted from changing the SS/BUS ID of an existing Guarantor and the field will be display only.
