5 The following note applies only to users upgrading from Point version 7.2 or earlier. Point 9.0 contains several fields that can cause data discrepancies if your organization shares files between version 7.2 (or earlier versions) and 9.0. The data from the old fields are transitioned to new fields the first time existing files from 7.2 are opened in version 9.0. Problems can occur when a 7.2 user opens a file after a 9.0 user has modified the data. For example, if a 9.0 user modifies and saves a loan file then re-opens the loan file after a 7.2 user has modified the file, the calculations in several screens will not match. To avoid possible confusion, each individual in your office who uses Point should update to 9.0 as soon as possible. The following screens are affected: The Forms > Fees Worksheet screen has more fees and a paid by split calculator. If a 7.2 user adds more fees or changes the Paid By dropdown value after a 9.0 user has opened the file, the Paid By dropdown will not be moved again to 9.0. In addition, the Compensation From Rebate field has changed and will cause a calculation mismatch in GFE Block 1 if a 7.2 user modifies the value, and a 9.0 user opens the file again. New calculations were added in the Track > Loan Profit/Loss screen which were not available in earlier versions the Net Profit calculation will therefore not be the same. If a 7.2 user modifies the data on the Loan Profit/Loss screen after a 9.0 user has opened the file, the calculations will not match. The Track > Conditions screen was upgraded to synchronize with conditions on the Banker > Conditions screen. If a 7.2 user adds conditions after a 9.0 user has opened the file, the conditions will not be recognized when a 9.0 user opens the file again. A number of retired field IDs were re-used from older Point versions. In order to re-use these field IDs, Point 9.0 will clear any old data in the fields upon the first time users open existing 7.2 files in version 9.0. Some of the retired field IDs were taken from the previously removed MLDS Traditional Form 883, which had connections to the Initial Fees Worksheet in 7.2. If a 7.2 user modifies fees on the Initial Fees Worksheet and a 9.0 user opens the file again, some data could be overwritten in the following screens: Loan Profit/Loss, Other Splits and Deductions section. Banker > Warehouse & Purchase Advice, Advance Rate Calculation section Banker > Closing Documents > HUD-1 Settlement Statement > Page 2, 1300 section and Banker > Closing Documents > HUD-1 Settlement Statement > Page 3, Comparison section Calyx Software 3500 Maple Ave, Ste 500 Dallas, TX Calyx Software.
