Mercury Network 3. 0 — March 27, 2012 Update

This update contains improvements throughout Mercury Network and VMP XSites.

New Feature: QuickBooks Integration for VMP XSite Owners

Customers using a VMP XSite will now be able to integrate their accounts receivable (invoices to their clients) and accounts payable directly into their QuickBooks account. There's some setup involved. Click here to learn more or e-mail clientrelations@mercuryvmp.com to schedule a time to walk through the feature.

New Feature: BytePro Integration for Lenders Using Mercury Network

For lenders that use both Mercury Network and the BytePro Loan Origination Software, we have a new integration. Start your orders from BytePro and synchronize all events between the two systems – including the completed appraisal and UCDP documents. Click here for more information or here for the instructions to contact our Client Relations team.

New Feature: Improved MDIA Disclosure Tracking

VMP XSite owners now have the option of only tracking MDIA disclosure dates for specific clients by enabling/disabling the tracking by client group. Also, when MDIA disclosure tracking is required, orders without disclosure dates or orders where the disclosure date has not expired will no longer show up in the Requires Assignment queue. This feature is turned off by default for customers. To enable it, visit the VMP XSite options under the Preferences menu and click on Configure Order Form.

New Feature: RealEC Integration Now Automatically Sends to Borrower

If you're a VMP XSite customer getting orders via the RealEC integration, you can now enable a feature that will automatically send a copy of the appraisal to the borrower once the appraisal has passed UCDP. You can setup this feature including the e-mail template text by going to Connection Settings under the Preferences menu.

New Feature: Default UCDP Business Unit by Client Group

VMP XSite owners can now configure default Business Units by Client Group. This will help out by making sure the correct Business Unit is selected for each lender when submitting appraisals to UCDP.

New Products

Due to demand, we've added the following products to Mercury Network: Appraisal Update/Inspection of Repairs (FNMA 1004D), Comparable Rent Schedule w/ Operating Income Statement (1007 and 216), Real Estate Value Estimate (RVE), Single Family FHA Investment w/ Comparable Rent Schedule (1004 and 1007), Condo FHA Investment w/ Comparable Rent Schedule (1073 and 1007), Exterior Only Investment w/ Comparable Rent Schedule (2055 and 1007), Exterior Only Investment (2055, 1007, 216), Exterior Only Condo Investment w/ Comparable Rent Schedule (1075 and 1007), Exterior Only Condo Investment (1075, 1007, and 216). We notified appraisers of these products, but it would also be helpful to send a notice to your fee panel if you plan to use one of these products to make sure you have coverage.
