Platform enhancements

None at this time.

Platform enhancements only visible with UAD 3.6 enabled

Fee tier warning message no longer repeats [APPMOD-11871]:
The "no tiers set up" message in the Fees module now appears only once, so admins aren't interrupted every time they open Fees.

Mark as Complete and Cancel disabled during Review in Progress status [APPMOD-11831, APPMOD-11899]:
The Mark as Complete and Cancel options are now disabled while an order is in Review in Progress, which prevents status conflicts during review.

Clearer handling of review submission errors [APPMOD-11912]:
If Mercury network encounters an error when creating a Collateral Investigate review order, the order now shows a clear entry in the history log and an alert.

File upload error messaging and lock handling [APPMOD-11981]:
The system now provides a clear retry notification if a document upload fails and automatically unlocks the order so users can immediately resubmit their files.

Issue resolutions

Friendly error messages for fee tier creation [APPMOD-11892]:
The Fees module now provides clear information when an error is present rather than a generic "400 error” message.

Occupant Name persistence on MISMO 3.6 order placement [APPMOD-11835, APPMOD-12041]:
We fixed an issue where the Occupant Name was not always being populated correctly on UAD 3.6 orders. UAD 3.6 orders now reliably capture and retain occupant names within the order details.

Fee calculations without tiers [APPMOD-12119]:
We fixed an issue where fees were not calculating correctly for customers who had never modified the “Tiers’ tab in the UAD 3.6 fees module. Fees will not calculate correctly for customers who have never modified the fee tier tab because they intend to use the default 1 tier setup.

Pending Release workflow for re-assigned orders [APPMOD-11713, APPMOD-12043]:
We fixed an issue where orders reassigned to a secure user did not respect the Pending Release settings. Reassigned orders now correctly respect the customer’s Pending Release setting upon vendor submission rather than moving straight to Completed status.

Cancelation of manually requested revisions [APPMOD-11872]:
We resolved an issue where the system would not let you cancel user-generated revision requests on UAD 3.6 orders. Users can now successfully cancel manually requested revisions on UAD 3.6 orders, properly returning the order to its prior status.

Accurate client price calculations [APPMOD-12063]:
We fixed a fee calculation issue where add-on fees for property characteristics were not always appropriately applied. Client price fee calculation now includes only the property characteristics selected on the order and no longer adds unrelated mortgage type fees.

Review document upload tracking [APPMOD-11788, APPMOD-12042]:
We fixed an issue where our order history log does not accurately reflect who is uploading documents sent to Mercury Network by Collateral Investigate. The order history now clearly distinguishes documents uploaded by review teams.

Order progression following revision cancellation and manual UCDP bypass [APPMOD-11785]:
We fixed an issue where certain orders were getting stuck in a Delivered status. Orders where manual UCDP submission was bypassed now advance smoothly without getting stuck in Delivered status when a post-closed revision is requested.
