Release Notes 18.045.0

ACRSI Import was setting incorrect Irrigation Practice.

Changes that were made:

When importing records from ACRSI - if the policy had multiple units by irrigation practice on the crop, when importing from ACRSI it set the practice to Irrigated, regardless of what was in ACRSI.

Parcel Layer - Auto Map Parcel Objects for mapped fields.

Changes that were made:

A new tool feature was added to Mapping that automatically requested and copied parcel objects to the Parcel layer for mapped field objects.

SYPR: 2025+ RY's: Changes were needed to Support Insureds Transferring from Another AIP Due to MGR-25-004.

Changes that were made:

Similar logic from the 2023 RY was added back to the System to help support Prior Year Production Reporting (PYPR) as well as Same Year Production (SYP) for new transfer business due to the 2026 RY procedural change called out in MGR-25-004 that no longer required an Insured to provide his production report to the ceding AIP. Instead, they were allowed to report their production from the prior year to their new AIP.

Similar to 2023, Users were able to enter production for 2 different CY’s within a single RY for new business beginning with the 2026 RY. However, instead of the System determining which screen to launch (PYPR/Legacy or SYPR) when selecting the Fast Edit PR button based on the existence of an AR Sign Date or not, Users were able to select which year they want to enter production for once the screen loads. Here are additional details regarding those changes:

AIP's requested the ability to better track Lease Certification information for Plan 13 (PRF (0088), Apiculture (1191) and Annual Forage (0332)) which was required when a Lease Agreement was in place.

Changes that were made:

MCT added the ability to enter lease certification into the system for 2026+ RY's. The functionality was similar to how other information such as Written Agreements, Contracts, Assignments of Indemnity, etc. were entered. This was a recap of the new functionality:

A new “Add Lease Certification” option was added to the Utilities Menu from within a Policy that will allow a User to enter a Lease Record.

Once the “Add Lease Certification” link was selected from the Utilities Menu, a new "Add New Lease Certification" screen displayed allowing the following Lease Certification information to be applied:

Lessee and Lessor fields:

The "Lessee" field was the name of the Operator/Tenant while the "Lessor" field was the name of the Landowner/Landlord. Both names came from the Lease Certification form.

Both fields were free text entry fields (alpha/numeric) up to 50 characters.

Both fields were required upon save.

The Lease Type field was a dropdown that will default to –Select--. Available selections were:

For PRF (0088) and Annual Forage (0332):

For Apiculture (1191):

A valid selection for each crop mentioned above was required upon save. Since most of the selections were available for all 3 crops, a validation was added for Apiculture to not allow a Lease Type of “Rate of Gain”, “Cost Per Head, Per Day or Month” or, “Animal Unit Month Basis”. The validation message read as follows:

Please select a valid Lease Type for the selected Coverage(s).

Users were allowed to enter a 2nd Lease record (or more) with the valid Lease Type/Coverage combinations for each if/when necessary.

The Lease Type Description Field was a free text entry field up to 30 characters.

This field only displayed if a Lease Type of “Other” was selected.

A value must be entered at Save if the Lease Type was “Other”.

The Coverages field allowed active Plan 13 coverage records to be selected.

Only coverage's the Lease Certification applied to should have been selected.

Coverage selections included the County, Crop, Type, Practice, Plan, Interval, Level and Price % (or, Productivity Factor for Annual Forage) for each active Plan 13 coverage on the policy.

User was able to select 1 or more or, all coverage’s in the dropdown.

At least 1 coverage record must have been selected at Save.
