Release Notes 7.080.0

Policy Estimate: On the Policy Estimate Detail Lines page of a policy estimate, any changes made to the High Risk designation were not setting the line as modified, so the change was not being carried through to the printout. This issue has been resolved.

Policy Estimate: With this ticket, additional calculations were provided on policy estimates for Liability/Acre, Premium/Acre, Guarantee (if applicable), and Guarantee/Acre (if applicable) when MPCI is quoted with a Private Product.

Policy Estimate: With this ticket, new fields have been added for the Policy Estimate form, allowing users to choose which Calculations UI tabs will be displayed on the corresponding printout. Now, when a user selects "Print Forms" from the Additional Functions dropdown on the Policy Estimates Calculations page for a policy estimate and then selects Policy Estimate on the Print Forms popup, two new multi-select fields will display—Level of Detail and Policy Type. The Level of Detail dropdown will allow for selection of Totals (or Irrigated Totals/Non-Irrigated Totals) and Unit Information. By default, all options will be selected. The Policy Type dropdown will allow for selection of MPCI and any Hail/Private Products that are available on the estimate. By default, all options will be selected.

A request was received to allow the Dairy Revenue Protection (DRP) Quarterly Coverage Endorsement (QCE) to be printed with the blank and pre-headed report styles without the policy having any detail lines. This form has been updated so that when the user prints it with the blank or pre-headed report styles, the form will now print without the policy having detail lines or without any Effective Dates selected for the form.

With this ticket, a Policy Declaration Page (Dec Page) has been added for the Dairy Revenue Protection (DRP) Livestock product. This form will be available to print from the Print tab of DRP policies (will not be available on LGM or LRP policies). The following are attributes of the new Policy Declaration Page form for DRP policies:

The 2019 Whole-Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) Handbook has added Commodity Code and Rate Code to the WFRP Farm Operation (Farm Op) Report. This ticket updated the same labels on the WFRP Schedule of Insurance (SOI). Commodity Code already printed on the WFRP SOI, but Rate Code needed to be added. The Yield label was also updated to be in sync with the Yield label on the Farm Op Report. These changes were made for all years on the WFRP SOI:

NOTE: Some of the commodities do not have a WFRP Commodity Code; those will print like this: ( ).

With the 2019 Crop Insurance Handbook (CIH), RMA added "P - Unharvested with Harvest incomplete (ARPI only)" as a Record Type option. The following updates have been made to the Production Report for all years:

With the 2019 Crop Insurance Handbook (CIH), RMA removed Prevented Planting +10% (PT) and added "P - Unharvested with Harvest incomplete (ARPI only)" as a Record Type option. This ticket also corrected the current alpha codes for the last three Record Types on the Schedule of Insurance (SOI) / Production Report. The following updates have been made to the SOI / Production Report:

A few items within the printing of land coding functionality were identified as being able to be made more efficient. This update is for all years, but please note, no changes have been made to the form itself. The land coding functionality for printing has been updated so it performs more efficiently. These changes are all on the backend and are meant to improve the way the data is pulled into the page. These changes will impact any form that prints Land.

A request was made to have the Proof of Loss print with the Cause of Loss in the Print Claim Folder for Private Products claims. An enhancement was done to the Proof of Loss that is printed from the Print Claim Folder for Private Products claims so the prior loss information now prints with the Cause of Loss as well.

During testing, it was found that NLF units were not being included on the Acreage Report when the "Include No Longer Farming (NLF) Premium Lines" print option had been selected. The Acreage Report was updated to include NLF units when this print option has been selected.

Livestock Register: The following changes have been made to the Livestock Register (Reports > MPCI Reporting > Livestock Register):

The MPCI Outstanding Balance Report page (Reports > MPCI Reporting > MPCI Outstanding Balance Report) has been formatted to remove the white space at the bottom of the page. There were no changes to the report logic.

An ICE 2019 update was made by the RMA and implemented in the System. The following tables have been updated for 2019:

PHTS: When PHTS data contained coverages by practice for stand-alone MP or stand-alone STAX policies and the current year policy had stand-alone MP or stand-alone STAX coverages by practice, the detail line records weren't being applied to the correct practice (i.e., IRR detail lines to the IRR practice and NI detail lines to the NI practice). Some adjustment of the code was needed to ensure that the PHTS records reflecting multiple coverages for these plan codes correctly imported to the current year policy with multiple coverages.

If there is a single coverage for a stand-alone MP or stand-alone STAX PHTS record and there is a single coverage created for the stand-alone MP or stand-alone STAX policy in the current RY, the PHTS data detail lines will import correctly to the single coverage. If the MP or STAX coverage is a related coverage and has an associated MPCI coverage, no detail lines will import from PHTS by design. The System will auto-create MP or STAX detail lines on a related coverage once acres are added to the MPCI premium lines.

The scope of this ticket's changes was only around PHTS records that are coming in as coverages by practice for stand-alone MP and stand-alone STAX when the current RY policy has coverages by practice for stand-alone MP and stand-alone STAX.

Fast Edit PR: The Fast Edit PR grid is designed to automatically calculate the Annual Yield when the user enters and tabs through Total Production and Acreage values. It was reported the grid was incorrectly displaying the yield with the YA option applied rather than the true Average Yield of "total production divided by acres". This has been corrected. Although the YA yield may be applied in the calculation of the approved APH yield at save of the grid + signature maintenance, the UI in the grid will now display the actual average based on the production and acres.

Margin Protection: "Sorry..." errors were received while users began updating Margin Protection (MP) policies that pointed back to a rating change made in October for the 2019 RY. Errors were returned while users updated production for stand-alone Margin Protection policies in the 2018 RY Fast Edit PR grid as well as when users updated the related links between MPCI and MP coverages in the 2019 RY. Both instances of "Sorry..." errors pointed back to a change made in the Plan Code 16 and 17 rate calculator in preparation for the 2019 RY.

PHTS: The PHTS file (P81) now includes the producer quantity within the P15 record. This is equivalent to the total production for the 10 year base period. The scope of this ticket will import YR 1-10 Producer Quantity (P81 record - fields 108-117). The import of this production should never override any claim information from the P21 record within the P81 record.

Authority Records: During internal testing, an issue was found where, when users clicked Cancel on the Create Authority Record page (MPCI Policy > Utilities tab > Add Power of Attorney/Authorized Rep/Grantee link), the System was returning an error. The issue causing the error to be thrown has been resolved, and the System is now taking the user back to the appropriate page without any errors being thrown.

Fast Edit AR: A bug existed that prevented a user from updating CLU acres when a late plant date applied and a written agreement was attached to the premium line. The System change will now perform a WA ADM_ICE table look up to calculate the correct late plant factor if there is a written agreement and late plant dates are applied in the CLU popup.

Fast Edit PR: A spelling error was corrected on the Fast Edit PR - Perennial page. The word "Previous" was misspelled on the information popup. This has been corrected.

Fast Edit PR: During Internal testing of TFS #98706, it was discovered that related Margin Protection premium lines were displaying in Fast Edit PR for Current Year Production Reporting and should not have been. In TFS #74949, users were allowed to key current year production in Fast Edit PR for stand-alone Margin Protection only—not related Margin Protection coverages. For related Margin Protection coverages only, the base coverage premium lines should have been displaying in current year production reporting in the Fast Edit PR grid. A fix was done in order to suppress Margin Protection coverage premium lines in the current year production reporting grid if they are on a related coverage within Fast Edit PR. The premium lines will only display in Fast Edit PR for current year production reporting if the coverage is a stand-alone Margin Protection.

Fast Edit PR: During Internal testing of TFS #98706, it was discovered that users were not able to enter production for stand-alone MP policies due to the lockout. The workaround at the time was to process one coverage/plan at a time in Fast Edit PR and then return to Fast Edit PR and process the second coverage and no longer be locked out. When this issue was fixed in the 7.075 release, the user was then receiving a "Sorry..." error when trying to save the production keyed in Fast Edit PR for a combination of MP plans (16 or 17) and ARP (04, 05, or 06). A fix was done where the user will no longer receive a "Sorry..." error when production is keyed in Fast Edit PR for any combination of plans.
