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.

Forms & Reports

DESCRIPTION ID #

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:

Form Title on Print Tab: Dairy Revenue Protection (DRP) Policy Declaration Page
Report Styles: No report styles will be available to select; the form will only print pre-filled.
Print Options: Auto Attach
This option will default as not selected.
When this print option is selected, a copy automatically loads to the Attachments tab of the DRP policy for the applicable year.
The following message displays in red italics under this print option: "Warning: This document will be automatically attached to the grower's Electronic File."
This print option only works if the Dec Page is being printed by itself. If other forms are printing with the Dec Page, the Auto Attach will not work. This is the current functionality for the DRP SOI.
Attachment Type: DRP Declaration Page
This attachment type was added to the Attachment Type dropdown that displays when a user clicks the Add Attachment button on the Attachments tab of the policy.
When the Auto Attach print option is selected on the Print tab for the Dec Page for DRP policies, this attachment type will automatically populate.
The Dec Page prints at the coverage level.

The 2019 Whole-Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) Handbook has added Commodity Code and Rate Code to the WFRP Farm Operation (Farm Op) Report.

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

LGM: The 1/31 PASS Status Report announced a change to rounding in the premium calculation for LGM Dairy that will be effective with the February SCD on 2/22/19. This RMA change required minimal adjustment to rating logic but did result in some rounding being invoked according to the PASS Status Report/M13 Exhibit. RMA will implement the rating changes on 2/6/19 in production.

MPCI

DESCRIPTION ID #

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.

98213

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.

98648

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.

99375

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.
