How to delete history in a loan file?
This article discusses how to delete history in a loan file.
CAUTION: Deleting a record permanently removes it from the database—you cannot retrieve the information.
CAUTION: Loan history must be deleted starting with the most recent transaction.
CAUTION: When you delete a loan history record, the system deletes all related entries. For example, if you delete a loan payment, lender and vendor checks that were generated as a result of that payment are also deleted. The only remaining record of the transaction will be in the event journal. See below:
- Any charges paid or resulting from this transaction are restored.
- All related trust account transactions are deleted.
- All lender checks resulting from a borrower payment.
CAUTION: We recommend that you only delete payments before lender/vendor checks are printed. For example, you enter a batch of payments, print a payment listing and audit your entries. If you detect a mistake, delete the payment and re-enter it. If you discover an error after lender checks have been printed, you should reverse the entry.
CAUTION: You should consider limiting access to this function to supervisory or high-level users.
