Updates have been made to the Mapping module's Hail Data layer. When the Hail Data layer is selected in the Layers panel and a date range is entered for Hail events, the following enhancements were made to the display of the Hail Data layer and the Current Map and Map Booklet printouts:

• The Hail layer was moved under the field layer so the user can tell which fields are impacted.
• The manually keyed date now auto-formats to the correct date.
• A title was added to the embedded legend on the Current Map and Map Booklet which reads "Hail {begin date} / {end date}".
• On the Current Map and Map Booklet, a legend was added to show what the colors mean.

DESCRIPTION ID #

Perennials: TFS #16817 introduced functionality for users to use the "BF" descriptor to the APH to identify transfer history for Beginning Farmer Rancher (BFR). While that functionality was being developed, it was found that, for Pecans and Strawberries, the APH Override checkbox column did not exist. With this ticket, the Override * column was added in the APH grid to allow users to designate BFR transfer history if applicable for Strawberries and Pecans.

Transmissions: The PASS AIP Test released on 8/21/19 called out the implementation of CR 185838. With this, a new output field, which RMA is calling Disaster Assistance Amount, has been added to the P21 record (field 65 is being inserted for this field). PASS will calculate a Disaster Assistance Amount, which will be a percentage of the prevented planting claim submitted on the P21 record. This percentage will now be captured in the import of a return PASS file and stored in the database for use by the Claims team.

107203

Companion Policy: It was internally discovered that the MpciPremiumLine.CompanionFlag was getting dropped after save of incomplete premium lines if they were missing AR Sign Dates. This was discovered through research on TFS #107290. Some necessary fields were added on the backend to eliminate the Companion Flag being dropped from the premium line.

Navigation: In the 8.020 Release, with TFS #105478, an enhancement was made to the user navigation when leaving the Land ID popup (if accessed via the Detail Lines tab). This enhancement was intended to help users when working a coverage with a lot of detail lines so that the user was returned to the same place on the Detail Lines page from which they entered the Land ID popup. With this functionality, the System highlighted the line the user entered the popup from so the user could easily identify their last line worked. During UAT of this functionality, a few issues were identified and have been resolved with this ticket:

• If the user opened the Land ID popup, saved, and then selected a different coverage from the dropdown on the Detail Lines tab, the System was taking the user to the new coverage but navigating to the middle of the Detail Lines tab rather than the top.
• When more than one page of detail lines existed for the coverage, if the user accessed the Land ID popup on a page other than page 1, after exiting from the Land ID popup, the System was taking the user back to page 1 rather than remaining on the current page and returning the user to the same detail line they had accessed the popup from.
• The new navigation functionality was not working for the following plan codes/crops but has since been implemented:
• Apiculture (Plan 13)
• PRF (Plan 13)
• Citrus Trees (Plan 40)
• Margin Protection (Plan 17)
• FM Sweet Corn (Plan 50)
• The System was refreshing the page when a user accessed the Land ID popup and then selected Cancel. Since save was never selected, the System should not have been refreshing the page.

NOTE: If any form of save (Save, Save & Exit, or Save Fields) is selected at any point during the session, the System will still refresh the page following Cancel. The System will only skip refreshing the page if Cancel is the only button selected during the session.

107028

Calculation of a premium discount (e.g., BU discount factor) is based on planted acres only. However, any applicable discount applies to both planted and PP acres for premium calculation. A policy was submitted to the Help Desk where a factor less than 1.000 was applied to the premium calculation of a unit where there were only PP acres reported. If all acres are PP, the System will now correctly set the factor to 1.000.

107696

Each Reinsurance Year (RY), the System's default year is updated to the most current RY. The default year controls the internal processing UI pages (e.g., Add New Policy, Add New Coverage, etc.) in addition to pages like the Internal Transfer Wizard RY dropdown. The scope of this ticket changed the default year from 2019 to 2020 in advance of the 8/31 and 9/30 SCDs.
