E&O PowerView

The E&O check reviews your report for any major errors or empty fields. Once your report is complete, run a quick E&O check to verify that everything is in place before delivering the report to your client.

Click this video to see it in action!

There are three types of alert icons that appear when running an E&O check:

Warning

Indicates potential inconsistencies such as mathematics and equivalencies, and fields that should be reviewed for accuracy. The E&O warnings are derived from the standard a la mode rule set.

UAD Error

Indicates that the field in reference does not comply with the UAD standards rule set, and may result in delivery failure in certain instances.

Fatal Hard Stop

Indicates that the field in reference does not comply with the UAD standards rule set. Per Fannie Mae, failure to correct the violation will result in delivery failure if a client attempts to upload the report through the UCDP Portal.

If you have QuickSource enabled, there are two additional alert icons that appear in the QuickSource Insights section when running an E&O check:

Peer or Local Comp Warning

Indicates potential inconsistencies from previous uses of a comparable in GLA, Quality, or Condition, from your Comps Database or Peers in SmartExchange.

QuickSource Notes

These are notes that were entered, saved, and exported from the Data Discrepancy View in QuickSource. These notes typically serve as a reminder in the E&O PowerView to either make a specific comment on an addendum, or to take a specific action before delivering your report.

If you have the option enabled to scan for potentially subjective or biased terms, those warnings appear in the Subjective or Potentially Biased Terms section at the end of the E&O results. Click here for instructions on how to configure your E&O Settings.
