Apple Trees: The System has been updated for Apple Trees. The Stage Validations within the PAW page have been removed for Apple Trees (0184) only. The Age Calculation has also been updated for Apple Trees within the PAW page. The System will now be using the formula from Exhibit 7 of the Apple Tree Crop Insurance Standards Handbook, which is (Policy Crop Year - Set Out/Graft year) - 1, to determine the Age/Leaf Year. Additionally, the Apply Insurable/Uninsurable Tree Count popup that displayed upon Save/Save and Exit from the PAW page has been removed.

DRP: A request was received to display the Insurance Period on DRP pages and forms in the same format as the DRP Estimate Tool.

Nursery PIVR: The following updates have been made to the Nursery Plant Inventory Value Report (PIVR) for all Crop Years:

The Online Help Site was updated with topics as well as with current release notes.

DRP: RMA announced some regulatory changes for the 2021 RY for Dairy Revenue Protection (DRP). This ticket handled the user interface and DB changes needed to account for the 2021 RY updates. With this ticket, a new database field, Declared Component Price Weighting Factor, was added, and an update was made to the Add/Maintain Detail Line pages to accommodate the new Declared Component Price Weighting Factor field. This field will only display once the user selects "Component" from the Pricing Option dropdown on the Detail Lines pages. Additionally, the values in the Declared Butterfat Test and Declared Protein Test fields were updated to accommodate the new values for the 2021+ RYs. The new values in the Declared Butterfat Test dropdown will range from "3.25" to "5.50". The new values in the Declared Protein Test dropdown will range from "2.75" to "4.50".

Users requested additional search options (e.g., the ability to search for a tract without a field, to search for field number (with tract), and to search for Grid IDs. In addition, a filter option was added that allows users to suppress from view fields that do not meet filter criteria (i.e., Policy, Crop, State).

Labels: Users requested the ability to create a secondary custom label for fields. With this ticket, a new Add Additional Label button was added below Label Line Styles section of the custom label editor. When selected, a text box is displayed for creating an additional custom label. This label will inherit the label styles of the primary label but will not have a label line despite being capable of being moved. This second label will not have any default information—when a user selects to apply a template to all fields, the 2nd label will not get updated content but will inherit any updated label styles applied to the primary label for the field.

Shareholders: Previously, there was no way to edit a shareholder name if a correction was needed (e.g., spelling of name) from within a detail line. By request, the System was updated to allow users to update shareholder names from within the Maintain Detail Line and Maintain APH pages and no longer need to go to the Utilities tab to delete and then add a corrected record.

The System was updated to now display the shareholder's names as a hyperlink within the Maintain Detail Line page and Maintain APH Shareholder information grid and also the View Detail Line Shareholder Details page. Once the Hyperlink is selected, a popup displays to allow users to edit shareholder name information.

NOTE: The Manage Policy Shareholders link found in the Utilities tab allows users to add/edit all shareholders that apply to the policy (e.g., all shareholders for all units and crops on the policy) from a single entry page. This structure was initially designed to have all Policy Level Shareholder records entered and maintained in a single location in the system so that when a change was needed, it could be made in one place and then the change would be applied to all detail lines for all coverages on the policy. Users can still use this tab for this purpose, but some edits are now possible from the detail lines tab.

Plan 13: For Plan 13 crops (PRF/Apiculture/Annual Forage), the labels within the PRF/Apiculture/Annual Forage View and Maintain Detail Line pages have been updated. These pages will now display "Revised Colonies" and "Revised Colonies Effective Date" OR "Revised Acres" and "Revised Acres Effective Date".

For this functionality, a new System Function, "Revised Colonies/Acres", was added, and when it is attached to a user role, the user can update the revised acre/colony fields. Without the permission, the revised acre/colony fields will not be visible on the user interface unless a revision has been processed by the AIP. Once revised acres and an effective date have been applied, the revisions will be visible to an agency user as a read-only value. If a user has the permission, on save, if Revised Colonies/Acres are greater than 0 and if the insured colonies/acres are not equal to the Revised Colonies/Acres and NO Revised Effective Dates exist, the System will trigger a hard edit error message of "Revised Acres have been applied. Contact your underwriter for final processing and entry of a required Revised Effective Date" (This message will say "Revised Colonies..." for Apiculture).

HIP: Per the HIP White Paper, the HIP-WI Endorsement is allowed with Plan Code "40" (Tree Based Dollar Amount); however, it is not allowed in conjunction with Plan Code 40 when these crop options are elected: "CV", "OW", or "OX". This ticket updated the HIP child line functionality to not allow HIP child lines to be created for any Plan 40 detail lines that have the "CV", "OW", or "OX" crop options.

HIP & Plan 55: An issue was found internally during testing of TFS #115358 (Detail Line user interface and Child Line Creation Logic) where the HIP child lines for Plan 55 commodities were not going to a "Complete" Processing Status due to a "Seed Company is required." validation. The detail line's Processing Status logic was updated so the HIP child lines exclude the portion of the code requiring the Seed Company as it is not applicable on child lines.

NVS: Similar to the Nursery FG&C policy, the new Nursery Value Select (NVS) policy also utilizes Nursery location functionality. System functionality for Nursery locations includes the ability to add locations via a link on the detail line as well as a link on the Utilities tab. A few releases back, the ability to add Nursery locations via the detail line was added as part of the detail line functionality for NVS. With this ticket, Nursery location functionality has been added to the Utilities tab for NVS. Users can access this functionality on the Utilities tab of an NVS policy in the Nursery Location section by clicking the "View Nursery Locations" link (to view Nursery locations on the policy) or the "Add Nursery Location" link (to add Nursery locations to the policy).
