Adding New Servicer Invoice Guidelines

Use this feature to add a new servicer invoice guideline.

4786_note Before adding a new servicer invoice guideline, search existing guidelines first to ensure you are not duplicating work (see Reviewing Existing Servicer Invoice Guidelines). You can add and edit present allowable settings on an existing guideline. A good example is when an allowable amount on an existing guideline is set to change but not take effect until a future date. See Managing an Existing Servicer Invoice Guideline for more details about editing and adding to existing guidelines.
