Adding New Servicer Line Item 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 Line Item Guideline for more details of editing and adding to existing guidelines.
