Powering rep & warrant relief for assets

Upon initial export from Blend to your LOS (if you have an automatic Blend-LOS integration), the Ref ID will export to your LOS. When you run DU and LPA*, the AUS will request assets from Blend using this Ref ID.

*Once enabled for Freddie’s Asset and Income Modeler for Asset Verification

Upon Asset Refresh in Blend, the “Blend Reference Number” (shown below) will be updated in the Blend Loan Overview screen to reflect the refreshed assets. You will need to copy this reference number and paste it into your LOS for it to be available for future AUS runs. The refID gets updated each time assets are refreshed or if the borrower adds new accounts.

The new Ref ID tells DU and LPA that there are new assets to request from Blend. As of today, your loan team will have to manually update the RefID in the LOS.

Step-by-step guide for updating the RefIDs for Encompass users

1. Navigate to the Application > Assets section of the application.
2. Locate and copy the Asset statement reference number from Blend.
    Note: There is one Asset Reference Number per borrower.
3. Open the Encompass file.

4. Find the corresponding fields for the Blend Reference Number for the borrower and the co-borrower.

        a. Select Show All at the bottom of your Forms list

        b. Open the FNMA Streamlined 1003 Form

5. Copy the borrower Blend Reference Numbers from Blend into the Encompass fields shown below.

The Blend (Bor) field in Encompass is for the primary borrower and the Blend (CoBor) field is for the co-borrower. If there are no co-borrowers in Blend, only the primary borrower's Asset Reference Number will be shown.

The Encompass field IDs for the Generated Assets Reference Number or RefID are:

• GSEVENDOR.X8 = Blend (Bor)
• GSEVENDOR.X9 = Blend (CoBor)

To search for these fields in Encompass you can press CTRL + G and enter the field IDs above then press Find.
