Companion Policy: An issue was reported on Skip Row Cotton where the companion policy was not using the correct Skip Row calculations, resulting in P11-9271 errors. The workaround was to recalculate the APH and premium in the Additional Functions menu to clear the errors. With this ticket, the Skip Row calculations were corrected when companion detail lines are created to prevent future errors. Additionally, APH recalculation is needed when Skip Row factor is changed on the premium line. Until now, APH recalculation was not part of the companion-syncing logic; therefore, the premium line calculation was incorrect. With this ticket, APH recalculation will now occur as part of companion syncing if the Skip Row factor is also changed during syncing.	107872
Perennials: In the 2020 RY, RMA implemented a change in the CIH around downward trending calculations when any year in the most recent 3 years in the APH is eligible for the exclusion; this was implemented in the System in recent releases. It was found, however, that calculations were not accounting for the Davis RO exceptions in the final yield determination. The Davis RO exceptions contain a Yield Adjustment Factor (YAF) calculation that is specific to states/crops handled by their office. The RMA procedure states Para 1862E is applicable if one of the most recent 3 crop years in the APH is in a year that is eligible for exclusion. Section 1862E outlines the downward trending tests which are superseded by the downward trending tests in the Davis RO bulletin. The factor to be applied to the approved yield will be as outlined in the bulletin if the insured crop is in AZ, CA, HI, or UT. If the APH triggers the downward trend calculations and yield adjustment, the adjusted yield will now be applied correctly as the approved APH yield. The Yield Indicator will be set to F, the Special Case Code will be set to F, and the Yield Limitation flag will be set to 11. The rate yield equals the approved yield.	110427
Perennials: The PAW grid for HI Tropical Trees was missing the fields for the user to select the Stage (Range Class) for the current year and was also missing the Tree Summary logic, making it inconsistent with functionality designed for other Plan Code 40 crops. For the 2020+ RYs, the System was updated to add the Tree Summary and Stage fields to the PAW page for the HI Tropical Trees PAW.	109445
