Forms & Reports

DESCRIPTION ID #

It was found during 5.115 testing of the APH Database and Acreage Reporting Form that the separate fields for Authorized Rep and Power of Attorney (POA) were not removed and replaced with an Assignment of Indemnity (AOI) field. With this ticket, the separate POA and Authorized Rep fields were removed in the Signature Authorization section. Also, an Assignment of Indemnity field was added in the header to be consistent with other acreage reporting forms. These updates are applicable for all Crop Years. The APH Database and Acreage Reporting Form is available to print from within individual MPCI policies on the Print tab and from Tools > Batch Printing.

Previously, the Skip Row Factored Approved Yield was printing for Cotton units on the Production Report. The un-Skip Row Factored Approved Yield should have been printing. The Production Report was updated to print the un-Skip Row Factored Approved Yield. The APH Database Form, APH Database and Acreage Reporting Form, Production Reporting Worksheet, and Production Report / Acreage Report are now all printing the un-Skip Row Factored Approved Yield.

Acreage Report: This ticket updated the Acreage Report's "Include CLU section" print option default setting to be based on the AIP's System Preference. This print option was implemented with TFS #37973 in April 2016; however, the default for the print option was not selected. The Acreage Report can be printed from the Print tab within individual MPCI policies or from Tools > Batch Printing.

On the Acreage Report, the sort order for the Crop Summary, Detail Line, and Premium Summary was updated to match the Fast Edit page. These updates are applicable for all Crop Years. The Acreage Report is available to print from within individual MPCI policies on the Print tab and from Tools > Batch Printing.

The Unprocessed Area Plan Production report (Reports > MPCI Reporting > Unprocessed Reports > Area Plan Production) has been updated to exclude duplicated detail lines. The report will include records for each unit similar to the Fast Edit PR page.

To help with meeting the acreage reporting requirement of printing acres by field, the Supplemental Land Worksheet / Page was updated to print the acres by field. The updates apply to all years. The Supplemental Land Worksheet / Page is currently available to print with the following forms:

Acreage Report
APH Database and Acreage Reporting Form
Production Report / Acreage Report (NOTE: This form is not turned on for all AIPs per request.)

2018 Roll: The RMA revised the Annual Forage policy for the 2018 RY, which required changes to the roll. Details of the roll changes were covered in the All AIP MPCI/RMA product update call on 5/2/17. The RMA has also released a 2018 whitepaper that discusses the consolidated SCD (2 SCDs in 2017 have been consolidated to a single SCD of 7/15 for 2018). In addition, 2018 will be based on 4 Acreage Reporting Dates and 4 growing seasons (versus 2 acreage reporting dates and 2 growing seasons in 2017).

Roll changes made:

2017 Growing Season 1 has been rolled to the 2018 RY as Growing Season 1.
2017 Growing Season 2 has been rolled to the 2018 RY as Growing Season 3.
Interval (Practice) codes will be converted on the coverage and detail line during the roll.

Agency Extracts: Private Product Agency Extracts were added to the Agency Extract in 2016, and TFS #69068 in the 5.115.0 Release provided updated changes to the records included for the Private Product Agency Extract. This ticket applied the extract formula to the 2015 RY.

Coverage: System logic was updated to account for changes made to the 2017 SPOKANE RO Bulletin for RYAF Factors and RYAF Charts.

1. The 2015 year's RYAF will be used in adjusting the current year’s T-yield (2017) for standard T-yield variable percentages or yield floor computations.
The System will populate the T-Yield RYAF value with the 2015 RYAF for the applicable State/County/Crop/Type.
2. The 2015 RYAF will also be used in determining YA yield substitution values for qualifying low yields occurring in 2016 and subsequent years.
In the RYAF grid, the "2002 RYAF" field label will now read "2015 RYAF", and the System will populate the field with the 2015 RYAF for the applicable Crop Year/State/County/Crop/Commodity/Type.
If the Yield Year is greater than 2015, the System will calculate it using the "2015 RYAF" from the RYAF grid.
3. The 2002 RYAF will be used in determining YA yield substitution values for qualifying low yields occurring in 2015 and prior years.
In the RYAF grid, the "1987 RYAF" field label will now read "2002 RYAF", and the System will populate the field with the 2002 RYAF for the applicable Crop Year/State/County/Crop/Commodity/Type.
If the Yield Year is less than 2015, the System will calculate the Annual T-Yield value using the "2002 RYAF" from the RYAF grid.
