Securitization

Available in NLS 5.2 and later

In NLS, securitization is the process of taking a group of loans and moving them into a single loan group. When the loans are moved, they inherit the parameters of the new loan group.

There are settings in Setup > Loan Setup > Defaults that are specific to the batch loan group transfer function.

Loan Group

In Setup > Loan Setup > Loan Group, configure the new loan group. Use the Transfer GL placeholders to record the transfer of GL accounts as defined in the old loan group to the new loan group.

NLS 5.4.4 to 5.13.4

A predefined ***CLEARING GROUP*** loan group is created when the Create GL Transfer Entries option is enabled. GL entries are cleared through this loan group when a loan transfer occurs. This loan group may be configured like any other loan group but its name cannot be changed and no loans can be tied specifically to this loan group.

NLS 5.13.5 and later

A predefined ***CLEARING GROUP*** loan group is created when the Create and use a Clearing Group/Allow Securitization option is set to Yes. GL entries are cleared through this loan group when a loan transfer occurs. This loan group may be configured like any other loan group but its name cannot be changed and no loans can be tied specifically to this loan group.

Specify the currency allowed in the new loan group under Servicing Options. If the currency is set to <ANY>, then all currency types will be accepted into the loan group. If the currency is set to USD-United States Dollar, then only loans with its currency set to USD-United States Dollar can be moved to the new loan group. If any loan in a batch of loans fails to satisfy the currency criteria, the entire batch will not be transferred.

NLS 5.4 and later

Scripts can be attached to the loan group to execute before and/or after the transfer of a loan. If the NLSapp.Break() method is called from the before transfer script, the loan will not be moved to the new loan group.
