How to Edit Cost Details in Disclosures
This guide walks you through editing fees and escrows in the Disclosure > Cost Details section of a loan file. You’ll learn how to apply default fees, update disclosed amounts, add new fees, and finalize your edits.
Accessing Cost Details
-
In the loan file, click Disclosure in the left menu.
-
The Disclosure section opens with Cost Details displayed at the top.
-
To edit:
-
Click the Edit pencil at the top right to open Cost Details in full view, or
-
Click the Edit pencil next to a specific section (e.g., Section A: Origination Charges) to edit only that section.
-
Using the Default Fees/Escrows Button
At the top of the Cost Details edit view, you’ll see the Default Fees/Escrows button with two options:
-
Add Default Fees/Escrows
-
Opens a list of fee/escrow types recently set up by your System Admin (including preset values).
-
Review the list, then click Apply Change to add them to the loan file.
-
-
Reset Default Fee/Escrow Values
-
Updates fees and escrows already in the loan file to match the latest company defaults.
-
Review the updates, then click Apply Change to apply them.
-
Using the Update Disclosed Amount Button
-
Click Update Disclosed Amount to auto-fill the Disclosed Amount column with the latest fee values.
-
This keeps disclosures accurate and supports Change of Circumstance (COC) tracking.
Tip: Do this before generating or re-issuing disclosures so the amounts are always current.
Using the Add New Fee/Escrow Button
If a fee isn’t covered by defaults:
-
Click Add New Fee/Escrow.
-
In the Edit Panel:
-
Select a fee section from the Integrated Disclosure list (e.g., Section A: Origination Charges).
-
Choose a fee name from the list (set up at the company level by your System Admin under Settings > Fee and Escrow Types).
-
If not listed, select Other and manually enter the name.
-
Click the Edit pencil to set who the fee is paid to, then click Save.
-
Enter amounts based on who pays:
-
Borrower Paid at Closing: enter manually or use the calculator to set a formula (e.g., % of appraisal value or loan amount).
-
Borrower Paid Before Closing: enter the amount in the field.
-
Paid by Other: select from the dropdown and enter the amount.
-
-
For purchase transactions, you can also record Seller Paid at Closing or Seller Paid Before Closing, marking the fee as seller-responsible.
-
Marking Indicators - Check indicators as needed:
- APR – include fee in APR calculation.
-
QM – include fee in Qualified Mortgage points and fees test.
-
Fin – marks fee as financed (for ComplyIO; exports to doc vendors, not shown on LE or CD).
-
SR – marks fee as seller responsible
-
Disclosed Amount – enter the fee if it has already been disclosed.
-
Saving and Finalizing
-
Click Save in the panel to apply changes.
-
This returns you to the Cost Details Edit view, where you can review all fees, update amounts, and adjust borrower-paid, seller-paid, or paid by others, as well as APR, QM, FIN, BC, SE, and Disclosed Amounts.
-
To delete a manually added fee, click the X on the right and then Confirm. This action cannot be undone.
-
Finally, click Save at the bottom to finish editing the Cost Details within the loan file.
