Release Notes 9.035.0

SOI: It was found that HIP and SCO data were not printing correctly in the Schedule of Insurance (SOI) Premium Summary. Previously, the same HIP values were printing for each HIP line in the Premium Summary and "$0.00" was printing for the SCO line in the Premium Summary for Liability, Gross Premium, Subsidy, and Insured's Premium. With this ticket, the rule for the SOI and SOI / Production Report was updated to print HIP and SCO information correctly in the Premium Summary for all years.

FUR/AR: The Forage Underwriting and Acreage Report (FUR / AR) was updated with base form standards and to implement changes found in the 2021 DSSH. The form's revision date was also updated to "09-2020".

Perennial Combo Form: The Perennial Combo Form was updated with base form standards and to implement changes requested by AIPs. The form's revision date was also updated to "09-2020".

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

A request was received to make some enhancements to the Livestock Register (Livestock > Reports > Livestock Register). While researching this request, it was determined that the same enhancements could also be made for a couple of the other Livestock Reports.

With this ticket, a new "Reports" menu option has been added to the Livestock menu on the main navigation bar of the System. The following reports have been moved to this new "Reports" menu from the MPCI Reporting menu option (Reports > MPCI Reporting):

Additionally, once one of the three reports listed above has been run, the policy number in the results will now be a hyperlink. If a user clicks the hyperlink, they will be taken to the Detail Lines tab of the respective coverage in a new browser tab. This functionality already exists for other reports within the System, so this change will bring consistency to these three reports.

An enhancement request was received to add a suspension to Livestock logic so that upon Mark Complete, if a Power of Attorney (POA) exists but no POA Attachment exists, a suspension is triggered. With this ticket, the current POA suspension that is utilized for MPCI policies was copied to the Livestock Mark Complete logic. Livestock also did not have the Power of Attorney Attachment Type available for selection, so that has also been added with this ticket.

Previously, a green approved icon () was added to DRP Livestock premium lines and displays within the Processing Status column in the grid on the Detail Lines tab on the applicable row. With this ticket, this functionality was added to the eDas products, LRP and LGM. Now, when an LRP/LGM premium line returns with an RMA Approval number, the premium line will display the green approval icon () in the Processing Status column in the grid on the Detail Lines tab on the applicable row to signify it was approved in eDas.

During internal review of the crop options functionality on coverages and detail lines, some inherit risks where identified with the current structure. In an effort to decrease these risks, the previous design's functionality that allowed users to move options from one side to the other was replaced with a dropdown. This will function similar to the existing options dropdown that displays on Fast Edit AR.

With this ticket, the new Crop Options dropdown functionality has been implemented on both the Coverage and Detail Lines pages. This functionality will allow users to select all options or pick and choose the applicable options. Please note that no logic around options elected/not elected was changed. All that is changing is the format of how options are displayed and selected.

Enterprise Unit Procedures: RMA has made some revisions to procedures for assigning unit structure when MCEU with EP on both practices is elected on the SCD but on the ARD the coverage does not qualify for that original election and also does not qualify for EP on both Irrigation Practices without MCEU. In this scenario in prior RYs, the grower had the option to elect EU on a crop/county basis or the BU/OU unit structure. Beginning in the 2021 RY, growers will now have the following options:

Due to the complexity of determining whether a form of MCEU (and which form of it), EP on a single practice (and which practice), or EU is the most beneficial to the grower, the System's enterprise unit validation logic will remain intact. This validation logic first tries to apply the enterprise unit election on the coverage of MC with EP both practices. If the coverage does not qualify for this original election, the System then attempts to apply EP on both practices without MCEU. If the coverage also does not qualify for that election, the System then attempts EU without MCEU followed by BU/OU. Given this, determination and application of any form of MCEU, other than the original election, or EP on a single irrigation practice without MCEU will be an underwriting determination and will require an override.

The overrides available to the user when MC with EP on both irrigation practices is elected will be updated to include the various forms of MCEU listed above as well as EP on a single irrigation practice without MCEU (NOTE: These overrides previously did not display since they previously were not allowed by procedure). In addition, in an effort to assist users in applying a valid override, a Validate button was added to the Manage Unit Structure popup. Finally, the suspension messages that trigger when the System determines a coverage does not qualify for the original enterprise unit election have been updated to call out the additional options that may be available to the grower.

HIP: HIP-SE premium lines were being rejected because the System's premium calculations were based on the STAX SE liability, coverage level, and price election. RMA's expected premium for the HIP SE premium are instead using the MPCI base (lint) SE liability, coverage level, and price election.

With this ticket, the STAX HIP SE Detail Lines rate calculator will now use the SE Detail Line on the base MPCI Coverage rather than using the STAX SE Detail Line. This change will allow the STAX HIP SE Detail Line's premium to match what RMA expects.
