If the application was initially approved automatically, the system displays its recommendations on the Decision tab’s Approved section.

If the application was initially rejected automatically, the system displays its reasons on the Decision link’s Stipulation sub tab.

If you choose to approve or reject the Loan manually, you must manually select the pricing (rule) set by the portfolio company for a specific product. The system validates this pricing against the information in the System Recommendation sections. The information in the Requested section comes from the application entry process and can be edited.
  • If the data meets your approval, change the status of the application to either APPROVED or REJECTED and enter any stipulations.
  • If you reject the application, change the status to REJECTED and enter the reasons for the adverse action on the Stipulations sub screen.

    You can use the quick calculator provided with the drop-down list adjacent to the Calculate button to calculate the required Loan parameters. You can also use the calculator available in Tools section for completing this step. For detailed information on using the Calculator tools, refer Tools chapter in the document.
