ETRAN - Government shutdown possible
Per the CSA notice sent 9/28/23: Due to the potential government shutdown, the SBA has changed the Pulled Loan Date to September 29, 2023. SBA wil not accept loans past this cutoff. Questions? Email [email protected]. SBA is not expected to establish a queue for receiving new loan applications through ETRAN, which means no compliance check will be possible. ETRAN may be down after Friday, so plan accordingly.
Note Date now OPTIONAL for non-TLR enabled records
The Note Date is now an optional field on the Loan > General tab, and optional to add when changing loan statuses, for non-Transaction-Level-Reporting (TLR)-enabled loan types. The Note Date field will still be required for TLR-enabled loan types. Previously, this date was a required field for all loan records.
HTML Editor (Narrative Box) custom data fields now supported in Reports
When a custom field is created with the “Text (HTML Editor)” field type, the system will automatically make a report field in Report engine. Previously, a report field was not created for this custom field "field type."
Environmental Investigation Reports section added to Commercial category
We have added the Environmental Investigation Reports section of a Real-Estate-related Collateral record > Environmental tab to Commercial Category type loans. Previously, this section was only available in 504 and 7a Category type loans.
