Below the Ginnie Mae logo, you will see your issuer number. For those who process more than one issuer number, you will see the currently selected issuer number, with additional issuer number options to the right. To change issuer numbers, click on the issuer number you need. The currently selected issuer name is just below the Navigation Area. The name changes when a new issuer number is selected. Major Functions The Major functions are: Forms Monthly Processing Process data for your 11710A, 11710E, or 11748C forms SCRA Processing Process data for SCRA eligibility or reimbursement requests Printing Forms and Reports Print any of the available reports File Upload Options Submit files to Ginnie Mae Processing or import data to Web IIS Other Information Additional information and functions Security When you completed and submitted the User Registration Request (see the Ginnie Mae e-Access Introduction), you specified the Web IIS functions to which you need access. The check boxes on the User Registration Request correspond to the major Web IIS functions.
(Excerpt from User Registration Request) Web Issuer Information System (Web IIS): Monthly Processing _____ SCRA Processing _____ File Upload _____
February 2006
For Printing Forms and Reports, checking Monthly Processing also allows you to print the 11710A, 11710E, 11710D, 11748C, and the Pool Level Status Report. SCRA reports are generated as part of the file submission process. All Web IIS users have access to the Other Information functions. Selecting a Web IIS Function From the Main Menu, select one of the options under any of the major function categories to which you have access. For example, if you need to enter or update data for liquidations, look under Monthly Processing for the link labeled 11710E Loan Liquidation Schedule (see below). Click on the link and the 11710E form will display, ready for data entry.
February 2006
General Functions Three general functions are available on every screen. They are: Main Menu Click to return to the Web IIS Main Menu. Any data not saved will be lost. Help Click to open the extensive Web IIS Help facility. Log Out Click to log out of Web IIS and return to the Ginnie Mae Web Site home page. Any data not saved will be lost. General Functions
Web IIS is designed to use the Web IIS function buttons, not your browsers buttons! If you use the browser buttons to move from screen to screen, the results will be unpredictable!
February 2006
Monthly Processing The Monthly Processing functions of Web IIS allow users to prepare data for the Issuer Monthly Accounting Report (11710A), the Loan Liquidation Schedule (11710E), and the Adjustable Payment Mortgage Addendum (11748C). Each form is discussed below. Note: Liquidation records should be completed for a pool before the 11710A form is completed for the pool. Monthly Processing Navigation Every Web IIS screen has a navigation area. This is the section of the screen where function buttons are located and where selected data entry fields are located. See the following example, from the 11710A form.
Data Fields
Sample 11710A Form Navigation Area
Data Fields Most screens will have at least one data field. Some screens may have two or more data entry fields. The fields serve two functions Data Entry and Record Search: Data Entry The values you enter become part of the record when you save. For example, in the Sample 11710A Form Navigation Area above, the values you type in for Pool Number and Reporting Period will be saved with the 11710A data for that pool. NOTE: Data Entry Error Messages: When values are entered on a screen within Web IIS, the value input is evaluated against processing rules for that item. Several things may happen: 12The value input is valid and you can advance to the next field OR save the record. The value input is NOT valid according to Ginnie Mae business rules and a message will appear: The message could be an Error Message. An E before the message number indicates an error message. Appearance of an Error message in a data entry field prevents further processing and the record cannot be saved. An error (E) message could also appear if the issuer attempts to modify a field that is not to be changed. If the issuer changes the value the error message will appear but the value will return to the calculated value.
February 2006
OR the message could be a Warning Message. A warning message is indicated by a W before the message number and does NOT prevent further processing and the record can be saved.
Record Search When used with the GO button, the values you enter are used to search the Web IIS database to retrieve an existing record with those values for your issuer number. For example, if you type in Pool Number 111111 and Reporting Period DEC2002, then click the GO button, Web IIS will search the database to see if there is a 11710A record for your issuer number, with pool number 111111 in reporting period DEC2002. If a record is found, the data is retrieved and displayed in the body of the form.
Function and Navigation Buttons These buttons provide useful functions for the Web IIS user. The available functions vary as needed from form to form. Every function is described in detail in Web IIS Help. In the example above, the following functions are available: GO The GO button performs two basic functions. As described above, it can be used to do a record search. The other function of the GO button is to retrieve all necessary information from the database to populate the screen for data entry. Whether you are using the screen to enter new information or to edit existing information, you should always click the GO button immediately after entering or changing information in the data fields of the navigation area (yellow section). If the database contains no information to be loaded to the page, a message will appear saying that the data does not exist. Click OK to clear the message and continue. New Pool This is specific to the 11710A form. It displays the screen that allows you create a new pool record. Save Click to save your data. Reset Click to erase any changes you have made since using the GO button to retrieve a record. All data entry fields will be reset, as long as you have not already saved the changes.
February 2006
Submit Click to submit a file to Ginnie Mae. Add/Edit 11710E Specific to the 11710A form. Click to display the 11710E screen. Next and Previous Arrows These navigation arrows allow you to retrieve records in forward (Next) and backward (Previous) sequence. If there are no more records, a message is displayed. Pool List Specific to the 11710A form. Click to go to the Pool List screen.
Save and Submit Buttons On the 11710A, 11710E, and 11748C forms, the Save and Submit buttons perform two completely different functions. Always be sure to use the correct button on all Web IIS screens. SAVE This button allows you to store your data in the Web IIS database. Saving does not submit your monthly or SCRA files to Ginnie Mae Processing. Use the Save button to store a new or changed record. SUBMIT This button allows you to submit your monthly or SCRA file to Ginnie Mae Processing. Use this button only when you have finished creating and editing all your data.
There also is a Submit button on certain pop-up function screens. The Submit button on these screens submits a processing request. For example, all print function screens have a Submit button. When you click one of these Submit buttons, a print request is generated. When you submit monthly pool or SCRA data from Web IIS, you receive two forms of confirmation, to assure you that: The submission is progressing The submission completed successfully
1) Progress Bar Progress bars appear for all submissions. The progress bar looks like this
and provides visual confirmation that the submission is progressing. 2) Email Confirmation Users receive an email confirmation of all submissions. The email will contain a message similar to the following:
Congratulations! You have successfully submitted your monthly pool reporting information for reporting period 032003. Issuer ID: 1421
February 2006
11710A Issuer Monthly Accounting Report Web IIS allows users to add, edit, and delete pool information. Additions and deletions may be needed for pool transfers, when new pools are created, or when pools are liquidated or terminated. By far, 11710A processing will consist of preparing 11710A data for each reporting month. Add/Edit Pool Information To add or edit pool information, click on the Web IIS Main Menu link, as shown below.
Click here
10
February 2006
Type in the pool number and click GO. If there is a pool in the database for your issuer number, the data will be displayed, at which point you can edit or delete the pool data. If the pool is not in the database for your issuer number, a message will be displayed. Click OK to clear the message and continue to add the pool.
11
February 2006
Deleting Pools Deleting pools is done from the Add/Edit Pool screen.
Click here.

The various confirmation prompts are there to help ensure that pools are not accidentally deleted. However, if you find that you need to undelete a deleted pool, go to the main menu, select Add/Edit Pool, type in the pool number in the navigation area and click GO. You will see the following screen.
14
February 2006
11710A Preparation Web IIS provides two ways to retrieve a pool for processing on the 11710A form. From the Web IIS Main Menu:
15
February 2006
Pool List The Pool List link displays a page with a list of the pools for the issuer number. The list shows the Pool Number, the number of 11710Es created for the pool (if any), the status of each pools 11710A report, and the status of any 11748Cs for ARM pools. For 11710Es, a number appears, showing the total number of 11710Es created for each pool. If there are no 11710Es, the number is zero. For the 11710A and 11748C columns, status codes appear for each pool. A blank in either column for a given pool means that an 11710A or 11748C has not been saved for the reporting period. The status codes are: X An X indicates that a record has been saved for this reporting period, but has not been submitted to Ginnie Mae. S An S indicates that the record has been submitted to Ginnie Mae. C A C indicates that you have made a correction to the record, but have not submitted the correction to Ginnie Mae. When you submit corrections, the status codes change from C to S.
The pools are listed in groups of up to 100 pools at a time. To the right of the GO button, ranges of pool numbers appear. These ranges allow you to display pool status

information, in groups of 100 pool numbers, by clicking on the range link. If there are more ranges than can be shown at one time, a More link will appear on the far right side. Under the Pool # column, click on a pool number to open the 11710A for that pool. Under the 11710ES Completed column, click on the number for a given pool to start viewing 11710E records for that pool. Under the 117148C Status column, click on the status code for a given ARM pool to view an 117148C record for that pool. 11710A Link From the Web IIS Main Menu, click on the 11710A Issuer Monthly Accounting Report link to open the 11710A form. Top section of the 11710A screen
17
February 2006
Enter the pool number and reporting period in the data fields of the navigation area, and click GO. The system will then retrieve pool information from the database and automatically fill in some of the fields on the screen. It is very important to click GO before proceeding with data entry. Note: Any Liquidation records should be completed for a pool before the 11710A form is completed for the pool. All five sections of the 11710A form are contained on one Web IIS screen. The example above shows most of Section 1. As you complete the form, you can scroll down to complete each field. Use the TAB key to move from one field to the next, or use your mouse pointer to click in a specific field.
These data come from the Add/Edit Pool Information screen. Any changes must be made on the Add/Edit Pool screen.
18
February 2006
11710A Submission When you have completed data entry for all 11710As, 11710Es (if any), and 11748Cs (if any), use the Submit function to send your monthly file to Ginnie Mae Processing. You will be asked if the submission is an initial submission or a correction file.
19
February 2006
11710A Printing The Web IIS print functions allow users to generate and store reports locally (i.e., on your hard drive). The stored reports may be reprinted at any time, without having to return to Web IIS to request the same report again.
20
February 2006
The Reporting Month and Year always are required. There are two 11710A print options. You may print for a single pool (Print By Pool) or for all pools (Print All Pools). Provide the requested information in the print option area you prefer, then click the Submit button. For the Print by Pool option, Web IIS will generate the appropriate report, then display a download dialog, to help you to download the report for printing. Follow the instructions in the download dialog to save the report to your PC or network hard drive. The report will be a Portable Document Format file, commonly known as a PDF file. Use Acrobat Reader version 4.0 or greater to open the report file (the one you saved on your PC or network hard drive) and print it. If you do not have Acrobat Reader, you can download a free copy from www.adobe.com. For the Print all Pools option, the report will be available for download the next business day.
21
February 2006
To retrieve an overnight report, click on Forms Available for Download. All available reports will be listed on the pop-up screen. Follow the instructions to download report files. These files also are PDF files, which can be opened with Acrobat Reader for printing. 11710E Loan Liquidation Schedule Liquidation records should be completed for a pool before the 11710A form is completed for the pool. This is because liquidation record counts and other data are carried into the 11710A form. If you prepare your 11710A before creating any 11710Es, and enter values in the liquidation fields, you will receive a warning message stating that you have no 11710Es to support the data on your 11710A. Additionally, a check is done when you save an 11710E to allow you to update the 11710A form with the liquidation data. 11710E Preparation There are three ways to open an 11710E form. You may: Select the 11710E Loan Liquidation Schedule link from the Main Menu Click in the 11710ES Completed column on the Pool List screen (see the following example) Click on the Add/Edit 11710E link from the 11710A form (see the following example)
22
February 2006
Click on the number to open an 11710E form for the appropriate pool.
23
February 2006
The pool number & reporting period are already on the form
Create a New 11710E Record: To enter data for a new 11710E, enter the Pool Number, Reporting Period, and Case Number in the navigation area Data Fields, then click the GO button before moving on to complete the rest of the data fields. The GO button causes Web IIS to search the database for an existing 11710E record. This will prevent you from entering a duplicate record. Since you are creating a new 11710E record, the GO button will probably tell you what you already know that the record does not yet exist. Click OK to clear the message and continue. Click the Save button when you are finished. Once the save button is clicked, a pop-up message will appear allowing you to update the 11710A form with the liquidation data. If you indicate, from the pop-up, that you want to update the 11710A form, the data just entered on the 11710E form updates the 11710A and you are transferred to the 11710A. Use the TAB key to move from one field to the next, or use your mouse pointer to click in a specific field. Modify an Existing 11710E Record: To modify an existing 11710E, enter the Pool Number, Reporting Period, and Case Number in the navigation area Data Fields, then click the GO button. The GO button causes Web IIS to search the database for an existing 11710E and, when the record is found, retrieves the data and displays it on the screen for editing. When the record is displayed, make your desired changes and click the Save button when you are finished.
24
February 2006
Once the save button is clicked, a pop-up message will appear allowing you to update the 11710A form with the liquidation data. If you indicate, from the pop-up, that you want to update the 11710A form, the data just entered on the 11710E form updates the 11710A and you are transferred to the 11710A. Use the TAB key to move from one field to the next, or use your mouse pointer to click in a specific field. 11710E Submission 11710Es are submitted automatically when you submit your 11710As. See 11710A Submission for a description. However, if all appropriate forms for the pool have been completed, you may click Submit from the 11710E screen. 11710E Printing The Web IIS print functions allow users to generate and store reports locally (i.e., on a hard drive). The stored reports may be reprinted at any time, without having to return to Web IIS to request the same report again.
The next several pages show instructions for printing the 11710E.

11748C Adjustable Payment Mortgage Addendum The 11748C form is used for the annual reporting of Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) pool data. You must complete the 11710A for the pool before entering the 11748C. 11748C Preparation There are two ways to open an 11748C form: Click on the link on the Web IIS Main Menu Click on the link for the pool from the Pool List
29
February 2006
Enter a pool number and reporting period then click GO If you need to change this value, use the Add/Edit Pool Information screen.
After you click GO, these values will be pre-loaded, based on the 11710A data you already have saved for the reporting period. Enter the pool number and reporting period in the data fields of the navigation area, then click GO. The system will retrieve information from the corresponding 11710A form to display on the screen. It is very important to click GO before proceeding with data entry. When data entry is complete, click the Save button at the top or bottom of the screen.

Submit/Resubmit Monthly Processing (Corrections Only) Some issuers use systems other than Web IIS to prepare their initial monthly pool data submissions, but wish to use Web IIS just to submit corrections. This is a separate Web IIS permission, which must be specifically requested on the User Registration Request form. Important Note: This function is only for those issuers who DO NOT make their initial monthly pool data submissions via Web IIS. Data submitted via this function is always treated as a correction. DO NOT request this function if you normally use Web IIS to prepare and submit all of your monthly pool data. Prepare your correction data using the monthly processing functions described earlier in this document. When you are ready to submit your corrections, go to the Web IIS Main Menu.

SCRA Processing The SCRA Processing functions of Web IIS allow users to create and update Eligibility information and Reimbursement requests, and to maintain an archive of approved requests. Each function is discussed below. Introduction to SCRA Forms and Lists The screens used for SCRA processing are: SCRA Loan Eligibility Information form used to create and update SCRA Eligibility information. Eligibility Lists used to locate particular eligibility records in order to submit, delete or update those records. You can also use the list screens to download files containing the eligibility information. SCRA Request for Reimbursement form used to create and update SCRA Reimbursement Requests. Reimbursement Lists used to locate particular reimbursement requests in order to submit, delete or update those records. The next pages of this guide contain an introduction to the navigation of the Eligibility and Reimbursement Request forms, followed by a short description of the Eligibility and Reimbursement Lists. More detailed instructions on how to perform specific tasks follow in the next sections, Creating an Eligibility Record, Creating a Reimbursement Request, and Using the Eligibility and Reimbursement Lists. Navigation of SCRA Forms Like the Monthly Processing navigation areas, the SCRA navigation areas consist of data entry fields and function buttons. Function & Navigation buttons

messages. See the Monthly Processing Navigation section of this guide for more information about error messages. Record Search When used with the GO button, the values you enter are used to search the Web IIS database to retrieve an existing record with those values for your issuer number. For example, if you type in Case Number 123451234512345 and Active Duty Start Date 07/15/2005, then click the GO button, Web IIS will search the database to see if there is an eligibility record for your issuer number, with case number 123451234512345 and with an Active Duty Start Date of 07/15/2005. If a record is found, the data is retrieved and displayed in the body of the form.
Eligibility and Reimbursement Request Forms Function and Navigation Buttons The following functions are available in the Navigation area of the Eligibility and Reimbursement forms: GO The GO button performs two basic functions. As described above, it can be used to do a record search. The other function of the GO button is to retrieve all necessary information from the database to populate the screen for data entry. Whether you are using the screen to enter new information or to edit existing information, you should always click the GO button immediately after entering or changing information in the data fields of the navigation area (yellow section). If the database contains no information to be loaded to the page, a message will appear saying that the data does not exist. Click OK to clear the message and continue. Save as New (Eligibility screen) If there was no existing data when you clicked GO, use the Save as New button to save your data. Update (Eligibility screen) If you pulled up an existing eligibility in order to make changes to that eligibility, use the Update button to save your data. Save (Reimbursement screen) Click to save your data. Reset Click to erase any changes you have made since using the GO button to retrieve a record. All data entry fields will be reset, as long as you have not already saved the changes. Next and Previous Arrows These navigation arrows allow you to retrieve records in forward (Next) and backward (Previous) sequence. If there are no more records, a message is displayed. Eligibility List (Eligibility screen) Click to display the Eligibility List. Reimbursement List (Reimbursement screen) Click to display the Reimbursement List.

Eligibility and Reimbursement Lists The Eligibility and Reimbursement Lists provide you with an easy way to locate particular records in order to submit, delete or update them. Additionally, you can check the status of an eligibility or reimbursement. Eligibility List To open the eligibility list, click the Eligibility List link on the main menu.
Click here
The To Be Submitted list opens by default. Click the name of one of the other lists (shown in the following illustration) to change to that list.
39
February 2006
There are four types of Eligibility lists: To Be Submitted This list shows eligibility records that you have created or edited, but have not yet submitted to Ginnie Mae Processing. Pending An eligibility record will be on the pending list for one of two reasons: 1. The record was submitted and is awaiting further processing by Ginnie Mae processing. 2. Ginnie Mae Processing was unable to approve or deny the record, due to errors (e.g., invalid case number). You will receive separate notification, at which time you can make changes and resubmit. If you click on the Case Number from the Pending list, the record will be retrieved for editing. Denied This list shows eligibility records that were denied. Approved This list shows eligibility records that were approved. This list provides a link to allow you to create Reimbursement requests.
The four lists allow issuers to see, at a glance, the status of eligibility records. The lists are updated daily. By using the Print function of your browser, you can print each list for your records if needed. You may also use the Download button to download the Approved, Pending and Denied lists as files that you can import to a database or spreadsheet program. See the section Using the Eligibility and Reimbursement Lists for more information on how to use the Eligibility List.

File Upload Options Whats a File Upload? There are two types of File Upload functions in Web IIS. One allows issuers to submit their monthly or Loan Level EDI data files through the Ginnie Mae web site (similar to transmitting via the Bulletin Board System). The other allows issuers to import monthly and SCRA data into the Web IIS system. Transmit Pool Reporting and LL EDI Files This function allows issuers to submit pool reporting or LL EDI files that were prepared with software other than Web IIS (or Web EDI for LL EDI files). Files uploaded via this function are automatically submitted to Ginnie Mae Processing. Appendix B contains the guidelines and record layouts for transmitted files. If you create, edit, and submit your monthly data by using the Web IIS forms, you do not need to use the Transmit function. If you use Web EDI to create, edit, and submit your loan level EDI data, you do not need to use the Transmit function. The Transmit function does NOT allow issuers to load data into the Web IIS application databases. How to Transmit a Pool Reporting or LL EDI File To submit a file to Ginnie Mae Processing via the Transmit function, click on Transmit Pool Reporting, LL EDI Files from the Web IIS Main Menu.
