How to add an escrow voucher in the loan terms?

This article discusses how to add an escrow voucher in the loan terms.

Working in concert with the Loan Servicing, Trust Accounting and ACH Express modules, the Escrow Administration module of The Mortgage Office® fully automates the tasks associated with maintaining escrow accounts on behalf of borrowers. The module also meets or exceeds the accounting and reporting requirements set forth by the Real Estate Settlement Act (RESPA).
