DESCRIPTION ID #

SOI: This ticket updated the Supplemental Policy Statement on the MPCI Schedule of Insurance (SOI) to help Hudson’s adjusters know what supplemental policies are under an MPCI policy when they are working on the MPCI claim. All changes will be rolled out to the SOI for all Crop Years in all locations the MPCI SOI can be printed from – Print tab, Batch Printing, Claims Print Menu, and Compliance Print Menu. No other Private Product data will be added to the MPCI SOI.

An AIP requested that applications have a place for the growers to indicate if the producer is a Vertically Integrated Producer. With this ticket, a Vertically Integrated Producer field was added to the Crop Information table. This change is applicable to all AIPs for all Crop Years.

• This field will be blank when the Annual Forage application is printed in the "Blank" or "Pre-Headed" Report Styles.
• When printed in the "Pre-Filled" Report Style, the System will print “N” if the Annual Forage coverage has not been designated with the Vertically Integrated Producer indication on the Maintain Coverage page. The System will print “Y” if the Annual Forage coverage has been designated.
• “* Vertically Integrated Producer” was added to the legend.

62169

This ticket completed several base form standards updates on the Annual Forage Application. These changes are applicable to all Crop Years:

• The 2018 RMA Updates were implemented to accommodate the change of two Growing Seasons to four Growing Seasons.
• The format was updated to be consistent with other applications.
• A line with Grantor Authority Statement for Grantee was added to be printed or handwritten if the AIP has elected to have the Grantor Authority Statement print on the application.
• The Agency DBA was added.
• A Signature Authorization section was added to the header on page 1.

63891

The Confirmation of Coverage (COC) was not printing for Named Peril binders. The System was updated to have a COC print for all products for binders, including Named Peril.

66577

The following updates have been made to the Notice of Loss (NOL):

• The following statement, which previously displayed for the Notice of Loss form on the MPCI policy Print tab and the Batch Printing tool (Tools > Batch Printing), has been removed from the UI: "The Notice of Loss form will only print pre-filled for a claim that is not in a Closed, Withdrawn or Void Status."
• When the "Pre-Filled" Report Style is selected for the NOL form on the MPCI policy Print tab or the Batch Printing tool, a new print option, "Include Closed, Withdrawn and Void Status Claim(s)", is available for selection.
• On the MPCI policy Print tab, a fix was implemented so that the "Blank" and "Pre-Headed Form – with Applicant / Insured & Agency info only" Report Styles of the NOL form will print when selected.
• A fix was implemented for when the NOL is printed from the Print Claim Folder to ignore the claim status so that the form will print when selected.

DESCRIPTION ID #

The Online Help Site has been updated with changes and additions for the updated Fast Edit AR functionality and the updated MPCI Notice of Loss functionality.

72055

Batch Printing: A request came in from an AIP to add a print option to the Batch Printing tool (Tools > Batch Printing) that allows users to print only quotes. Previously, there was an "Include Quotes" print option, but the user still had to manually filter out any non-quote policies before printing if they wished to print only the quotes.

With this ticket, a new print option called "Print Quotes Only" was added to the Batch Printing tool. If this new option is selected, the System will generate the batches to only contain quotes for the applicable search criteria for the batch.

Mapping

DESCRIPTION ID #

Within the Manage ACRSI Fields pages, users have the ability to view data received from ACRSI as well as Import Fields from CIMS. An issue was reported where, when users imported data from CIMS, it would overwrite any existing ACRSI data. This has been changed to skip any field from CIMS where ACRSI data for that RY already exists.

MPCI

DESCRIPTION ID #

Fast Edit AR: The ability to add a new detail line to the Fast Edit AR grid was not included with the original release of the new Fast Edit AR grid. Now, users have the ability to add a new detail line to the Fast Edit AR grid using the Add New Line functionality that displays within each coverage banner. These rules are in place when adding a new line via Fast Edit AR:

• The BU, OU, Type, Practice, and Share fields are required.
• If Cotton or ELS Cotton with a Skip Row Practice, then the Planting Pattern and Row Width fields display and are required if Reported Acres are greater than zero and no UI Reason is selected.
• Plant Date or PP indicator is required if Reported Acres are greater than zero and no UI Reason is selected.
• A Reported Acres value greater than zero is required if a Plant Date, PP Indicator, or UI Reason is selected.

13555

Contracts: If multiple coverages for the same crop in different counties exist on the same policy and a contract record was entered for each coverage, it was difficult to identify the contract record associated with each county. An enhancement was made to the Contract Information grid on the View MPCI Policy page. A hover feature was added so that when the user hovers over the crop name for a contract record, the County name of the associated coverage will display.

17759

APH: The Inconsistent Yield collapsible banner from the legacy Maintain APH page was implemented within the APH Drawer. Various changes were also made to the Inconsistent Yield collapsible banner from within the legacy Add New, View, and Maintain APH pages. These updates and the related functionality were also added to the APH Drawer.

65539

APH: The Excessive Yield collapsible banner and functionality from the legacy Maintain APH page was implemented within the APH Drawer. Various changes were also made to the Excessive Yield collapsible banner and functionality from within the Legacy Add New, View, and Maintain APH pages. These updates and functionality were also added to the APH Drawer.

65555

Fast Edit PR & AR: The initial roll out of the new Fast Edit PR page only allowed access to the APH Drawer. Similarly, the initial roll out of the new Fast Edit AR page only allowed access to the Detail Line Drawer. Now, both drawers are available to the user regardless of which Fast Edit page they are accessing. The user will be able to toggle between the two drawers by selecting the appropriate tab at the top of the drawer.

If a change is made to one of the drawers, the user must save the drawer in order to access another drawer. Also, the APH Drawer will not be available if an APH does not already exist for a detail line. Standard lockouts apply to each drawer. Upon save of a Fast Edit page, the APH (if modified) will be calculated first and then the detail line.

65777

Claims: The MPCI Notice of Loss (NOL) entry and editing processes as well as the process for adding additional damage to a claim have been updated in the System.

• When adding an NOL to an MPCI policy, users now have the ability to select coverages/units available for the claim type selected from all of a grower's policies on the Add MPCI Notice of Loss page so they can key multiple claims at once.

NOTE: If coverages from multiple policies are selected, on save, a claim will be created for each unique policy/county combination.

• Additionally on the Add MPCI Notice of Loss page, users now have the ability to answer questions available on the Notice of Loss form so the form is completely pre-filled.
• When editing an existing MPCI NOL, clicking the Date Reported hyperlink in the Claims for Policy grid on the View MPCI Claims page for the claim will automatically open the Edit MPCI Notice of Loss page—the View MPCI Notice of Loss page has been removed. This helps users access the edit page faster.
• The process for adding additional damage to an existing NOL has also been streamlined and moved to its own page separate from adding or editing an NOL so that users can select an existing claim to add additional damage to; and then, will only have to key the information that is different for the notice instead of having to re-key the entire notice.

For more information on the changes made to MPCI Notice of Loss functionality in the System, visit the Online Help Site (accessed by clicking the ? and then "Help Site" in the System header). On the welcome page of the help site, the MPCI NOL Updates button will navigate you directly to MPCI Claims topics.

68626

Fast Edit AR: During internal testing of Fast Edit AR, a bug was found with the duplicate line functionality. When the user selected to duplicate a line that already had CLU acres attached, the System was initially displaying the CLU acres from the parent line as read only on the child line. Once the user performed a save, the line correctly updated to default the child line acres to "0.0" and allowed the user to edit. However, the System should not have been displaying CLU acres on the child line initially.

The duplicate line functionality has been updated to no longer display the CLU acres from the parent line on the child line. The Reported Acres field on the child line will default to "0.0" and be editable as soon as the line is duplicated.

68999

The TA/YE Comparison link/page from within the Legacy Maintain APH page was not included with the original deployment of the APH Drawer that is accessible within the Fast Edit PR pages. The TA/YE Comparison link/page from the Legacy Maintain APH page was implemented in the APH drawer (which is accessible via the Fast Edit PR page). As with the link on the Legacy APH page, it will be available if TA or YE are available for the RY/State/County/Crop/Type/Practice (per the ADM) even if the option(s) are not elected for the coverage.

69067

APH: During testing of the APH drawer, a couple of bugs were identified around the years that display within the APH Drawer.

• APH Production Years in the APH Drawer were not matching APH Production Years on the Maintain APH page. This issue was occurring when a user added production/acres to a prior year in the APH drawer. The System was changing which years displayed for years with no production/acres, and these years were not matching what was displaying on the standard APH page.
• A hard error stating "duplicate years exist" was being triggered in the APH Drawer anytime the user changed a year (e.g, changing 2007 to 2000) even when duplicate years did not exist.

These issues have both been resolved. The years in the APH Drawer will now always match those that display on the Maintain APH page. In addition, the duplicate years error message will now only trigger when there are truly duplicate years keyed to the APH.

69175

Fast Edit AR: In Fast Edit AR, in the Detail Line Drawer, the Type and Practice fields were not populating when an "XC" Written Agreement existed. These values should populate in a read-only format. The Detail Line Drawer logic has been updated to correctly populate the Type and Practice fields when an "XC" Written Agreement is attached. These values will now display as read only.

69476

APH: By design, the Type and Practice fields should display as read only in the APH and Detail Line Drawers when a Written Agreement is attached; however, during internal testing, it was found that these values were editable when a Written Agreement was attached. The APH and Detail Line Drawers have been updated to display the Type and Practice values as read only when a Written Agreement exists.

69478

APH: An issue was reported where the PHTS import was not consistently updating the APH with an Approved Yield when the most recent year acres value was "0" (zero). The PHTS logic has been updated for this inconsistency.

69910

Fast Edit PR: A bug was identified with the "Is Modified" logic in Fast Edit PR. When the user made a change in the APH drawer for one detail line, the System was marking all lines for the crop as modified. This bug has been resolved, and the System will no longer mark all lines as modified when a change is made to only one line.

NOTE: There is one exception to this when the BU Override checkbox is selected. When this flag is selected on one detail line, the System updates it on all detail lines within the same basic unit number series. In this scenario, all lines within the basic unit number series will be marked as modified.

69226

Cotton: For Cotton and ELS Cotton, the RMA will reject a P11 record if certain Skip Row information is not included for a record reflecting an Insurable Reported Acres value greater than zero and a Skip Row Practice. The Skip Row information required in this situation is based on the Planting Pattern, Row Width, and Skip Row Factor that is applied to a detail line. Generally, the Planting Pattern selected determines the correct Row Width and Skip Row Factor. Validations exist throughout the System to require a Planting Pattern in this scenario, but they were not consistent throughout the System and were non-existent on the Fast Edit AR page. There was also a scenario that could occur within the new Fast Edit AR page that would allow a user to bypass these validations. Therefore, a new Mark Complete suspension was implemented in hopes of identifying these isolated situations before the information is submitted to the RMA and errors occur. For all RYs, the following validations will now trigger for Cotton when an Insurable Reported Acres value greater than zero exists:

On save of the legacy Maintain Detail Line page:

• If the Detail Line reflects a Practice of NI and no Planting Pattern is selected, the System will default to "Solid" at save. Therefore, the current validation message of "Planting Pattern of Solid is required for Non-Irrigated Cotton." has been removed.
• If the Detail Line reflects a Practice of NI and the selected Planting Pattern is something other than "Solid", the existing validation message of "A Planting Pattern of Solid is required for Non-Irrigated Cotton." will continue to trigger. However, this was changed from a Warning to a Hard Error and will require a fix in order to save the line.
• If the Detail Line reflects a Practice of NI-SR and no Planting Pattern is selected, the existing validation message of "A Planting Pattern of Solid is required for Non-Irrigated Cotton." has been changed to read "A Planting Pattern is required for Skip Row Cotton.". This validation was changed from a Warning to a Hard Error and will require a fix in order to save the line.
• If the Detail Line reflects a Practice of NI-SR and the Planting Pattern is "Solid", the System will trigger the following validation: "A Planting Pattern other than Solid is required for Skip Row.". This will be a Hard Error and will require a fix in order to save the line.

On save of the Fast Edit AR grid:

• The System will default all modified lines reflecting a Practice of NI to "Solid" upon save of the Fast Edit AR grid.
• The Row Width will default to zero and the Skip Row Factor will be "1.00".
• The System will trigger the following validation errors at save of the Fast Edit AR grid for modified lines reflecting a Practice of NI-SR:
• If no Planting Pattern is selected: "A Planting Pattern is required for Skip Row Cotton."
• If the selected Planting Pattern is "Solid": "A Planting Pattern other than Solid is required for Skip Row Cotton."

In the Fast Edit AR - Add New Detail Line functionality:

• If an NI Practice is selected when adding a new line, the System will default the Planting Pattern to "Solid" once the Add New Unit button is selected and the new line is successfully saved to the database.
• If an NI-SR Practice is selected when adding a new line, the System will require a Planting Pattern not equal to "Solid" once the Add New Unit button is selected. The following validation messages will be received:
• If no Planting Pattern is selected: "A Planting Pattern is required for Skip Row Cotton."
• If the selected Planting Pattern is "Solid": "A Planting Pattern other than Solid is required for Skip Row Cotton".

With TFS #69506, a new suspension will trigger at Mark Complete if:

• An Insurable Reported Acre value greater than zero exists and:
• Practice is NI and Planting Pattern not equal to "Solid"; or
• Practice is NI-SR and a Planting Pattern other than "Solid" has not been applied.

The Suspension message will read: " A valid Planting Pattern is required for Unit(s) XXXX-XXXX, XXXX-XXXX."

NOTE: All units for the coverage that could trigger this suspension will be listed in the suspension message.

69353

Fast Edit AR: When entering a Plant Date in the CLU grid of the Manage Land IDs popup that is opened from within the Fast Edit AR page, upon Save or Save & Continue, the Plant Date would change to the prior day. This issue has been fixed in Fast Edit AR (where the user was in a time zone west of the Central Standard Time) so the Plant Date on the CLU grid of the Manage Land IDs popup will not change upon Save or Save & Continue on the Fast Edit AR page.

69355

Private Products

DESCRIPTION ID #

An AIP requested that, when setting up a Continuous Hail policy, the user be allowed to select if they want the option to factor IPA by Share or not. An enhancement was made so that on the set up of a Continuous Hail policy, the user now has the option to select whether they want to Factor Ins/Acre by Share or not. The new checkbox on the page is selected by default. Once the Submit Coverage button has been selected, the user can also see this option in the Continuous Hail placeholder line.

NOTE: Until TFS #69091 is completed, the submit of acres for those policies where the checkbox is not selected will not be working. It will still take into account the Share by Practice until this ticket is completed.

50777

A bug was found that was not allowing the user to set up a linked MPCI Private Product policy if, upon the set up of the policy, the user entered an Insurance Per Acre value that was over the allowed amount and didn't override it.

A correction was made to Private Product policies so that, upon set up, when the user enters an Insurance Per Acre amount, if the Insurance Per Acre amount is higher than the max that is allowed and it is not overridden in the popup, the policy will still be created but with the Insurance per Acre set to the max amount on the placeholder line.

69858

An issue was found with splitting coverage between Irrigated and Non-Irrigated crops. The Price Election field was being greyed out (disabled) when users were entering the second line of coverage. This was corrected so that when splitting coverage between Irrigated and Non-Irrigated crops, the Price Election field will not be disabled.

69913

Claims: A timer has been applied to all products with the exception of WATTs to control the amount of time a Notice of Loss (NOL) can be entered on a policy following policy expiration. Now, once a policy expires, agents will only be able to enter an NOL within the first 240 hours (10 days) following policy expiration.
