IF the APH Staging table information for the unit has a claim record designation, a bold "C" will print to the right of the Yield field.

WFRP: A request was received for users to be able to add revised sign dates for the Revised Farm Operation Report on WFRP policies. With this ticket, fields for Revised Insured Sign Date and Revised Agent Sign Date were added to the Commodity page. These fields will only display if the Revised Report checkbox is selected, and once a date is applied to one commodity on the policy, the System will apply the same date to all commodities on the policy. In addition, if the Revised Report checkbox is deselected on all commodities on the policy, the System will remove the revised sign dates from all commodities.

NOTE: If at least one commodity is still marked as a "Revised Report", the revised dates will continue to apply to all commodities. Application/removal of dates on an all or nothing basis is necessary for the related "Missing Revised Farm Ops Sign Date" reports functionality that is being implemented with TFS #106252. This functionality applies to the 2019+ RYs only.

An issue was reported with the navigation on the Detail Lines tab after accessing and closing out of the Manage Land ID popup. When the user saved/exited or canceled out of the popup, the System would return them to the top of the Detail Lines tab rather than returning them to the same place on the page where the popup was originally launched from. This was a pain point, particularly on large policies.

Navigation when accessing and closing out of the Manage Land ID popup has been updated to return the user to the same place on the Detail Lines tab where the popup was originally launched from. In addition, a visual cue was added to show the user which detail line the popup was launched from when they are returned to the Detail Lines tab following their exit from the popup—the detail line will be highlighted with a gray band and will flash for a few seconds.

Mark Complete: The coverage status displays on the View MPCI Coverage grid, and this status changes from incomplete to complete or pending following a Mark Complete process. There was a concern received through the Help Desk that the status wasn't being updated properly during the Mark Complete step; there was also confusion around the reset button and what its purpose was. The scope of this ticket is to refine how this logic works.

The Mark Complete process was updated to only set the status at the end of the Mark Complete after all suspensions have been checked. As a reminder, the Mark Complete process is run across the service bus and contains multiple pieces, with suspensions being only one of the pieces of the logic that is looped through. This change will correct the issue identified when a user refreshed the coverage grid (using the refresh swirl icon at the lower right corner of the page) while the Mark Complete was still being processed on the service bus. Users saw the status changing during the refresh and that was because the Mark Complete process had not finished and actually reflected a point in time in the process. It was confusing for users to see this status changing without realizing what was happening on the backend.

The reset button will only change the status of a coverage to incomplete and delete the corresponding record in the ServiceBus table (which is not used by the service bus to actually process job requests). Once a Mark Complete job is sent to the service bus, a user cannot stop the job from completing because it's running externally to the System. The reset button is intended to allow a user to trigger another Mark Complete if a job is hung up or doesn't complete as expected—it doesn't actually stop the first job from running.

MCEU: As part of the MCEU premium calculation logic, the System sums and stores total acres in each MCEU in the database for use in the premium calculation. A bug was reported where certain MCEU policies were receiving P11-7187 errors and a developer traced this issue back to DC Rice acres. The logic that determines total acres for each MCEU was including DC Rice acres. Since DC Rice acres are duplicates of their parent line acres, they should not have been included in this calculation. The logic that determines and stores total acres in each MCEU has been updated to exclude DC Rice acres.

TFS #103366 updated the premium calculation changes initially when the previous Yield Limitation flag was 03 and the YC option had been applied. Some policies were found to still be in error with a P11-7187 error. A request was submitted to RMA for additional information on how the M13 calculations were being applied to those units that had a Yield Limitation flag of 03 in the prior year. Based on RMA's clarification, an update was required to the calculations being used. In the 2018+ RYs' Plans 01, 02, and 03 Rate Calculator, if the premium line is YC and the previous Yield Limitation flag is 03 for EU, the System will now get the Prior Year Enterprise Unit Residual Factor from the ADM CoverageLevelDifferential table rather than calculate the value.
