Release Notes 6.000.0

Unprocessed Reports: By default, the Export to Excel button will now be hidden for the Unprocessed Reports until the Display Results button is selected. These reports are accessed from Reports > MPCI Reporting > Unprocessed Reports.

Dec Page: The MPCI Declaration Page was updated to match base form standards and to remove the Spouse, Assignment of Indemnity, and Power of Attorney fields. These updates are applicable for all Crop Years.

SOI / Production Report: A stand-alone STAX coverage is required to report production. Previously, STAX RP (35) and STAX RP-HPE (36) coverage information printed on the Schedule of Insurance (SOI) / Production Report Crop Summary and Premium Summary sections but no detail lines were printing; STAX detail lines should have been printing on the SOI. This ticket updated the SOI / Production Report to print the stand-alone STAX coverage detail lines. Also, the note to users that displays on the Print page was updated to more specifically state that the companion policies for STAX RP and STAX RP-HPE will not print on the SOI / Production Report.

2018 Roll: The 6/30 CCD crops are typically rolled in early July to the next RY. For crops that have a single CCD but a dual ARD, MCT was prevented from rolling detail lines and APHs for these crops until after the 7/15 ARD was processed. In state/counties where the next RY's SCD is 8/31 or 9/30, this delay to allow processing to be completed often resulted in compressed processing time for renewals. A change was implemented to allow the roll to occur by Type in dual ARD areas:

With this change, when MCT rolls the crops in early July, only fall detail lines for impacted 8/31 and 9/30 SCDs will roll. When processing is complete, the AIP is responsible for notifying MCT that the spring lines can be rolled, joined with the initially rolled policy by the DB OID values.

NOTE: Roll logic has been modified for WA, ID, and OR. Only fall lines that reflect the WO option will roll with fall line types. Fall detail lines without the WO option fall under a 7/15 ARD, regardless of the 011 or 012 Type code on the detail line. For all other states/crops, detail lines and APHs will roll based on the fall Type code on the detail line. MCT will roll the coverage + fall lines initially and then a secondary roll will pick up the spring crop lines and add to the rolled policy in the new RY.

Claims: Several updates have been made to the View MPCI Claims page (on the Claims tab of MPCI policies). These updates include:

APH: The Short Rate collapsible banner from the Legacy Maintain APH page has been updated and implemented within the APH Drawer. Various changes were made to the Short Rate collapsible banner from within the Legacy Add New, View, and Maintain APH pages. These updates and the Short Rate reporting functionality were also added to the APH Drawer.

Annual Forage: RMA has announced some changes to the Annual Forage policy for the 2018+ Reinsurance Years (RYs). The policy is being updated to include four growing seasons rather than the previous two, one Sales Closing Date (SCD) rather than the previous two, and four Acreage Reporting Dates (ARD) rather than the previous two. To account for these changes, a number of System changes are required. First, the System roll logic required some special logic for the 2017 to 2018 RY roll only. This logic will roll the growing season and interval (Practice) codes based on the new growing season and interval structure. These changes were implemented in the 5.120 release with TFS #70613.

In addition to updating the roll logic, the 2018 policy changes for Annual Forage also required changes to the coverage functionality as well as the validation logic. This ticket will address the changes needed to the coverage functionality. TFS #70760 and #70761 will address the changes and additions required to validation logic.

With this ticket, the Coverage page for Annual Forage were updated to account for the 2018 RY policy changes. These changes include:
