ECO, SCO, and HIP: During testing of 11.070 tickets, #129096 and #1333339 ,an issue was found where ECO, SCO and HIP child line acres were being included in the Premium Summary’s Acres field for the coverage on the Schedule of Insurance (SOI) and SOI / Production Report (PR).

Livestock

DESCRIPTION ID #

With the 2023 RY, the eDas processing system previously used for LRP and LGM processing is being decommissioned. LRP and LGM will use the PASS system going forward, so work was needed to remove fields from the pages that are only applicable to the eDas system. With this ticket, the following fields on the View Grower and Maintain Grower pages have been removed for the 2023+ RYs for LGM and LRP policies only:

• Process Flag Override
• Authorization Number
• Change Flag

Mapping

DESCRIPTION ID #

RMA released a new CLU Layer for February 2022; this has been implemented in the System.

136127

In Mapping, when users would assign a crop to a field that wasn't already associated with a specific premium line, the System was not automatically filling in the policy/coverage based on the selected crop.

136479

The section / township layers in Randolph County IL have been updated to use the BLM Sourced PLSS data. BLM is the data source RMA is moving to using as a standard, and it addresses some missing surveys in the county.

MPCI

DESCRIPTION ID #

Fast Edit AR: An issue was reported where reported acres within Fast Edit AR were not rounding to the tenths value when keyed to the hundredths value. This issue has been resolved, and the System will now round acres to the tenths value within the Fast Edit AR grid when acres are entered to the hundredths value.

127493

QLO: A gap was recently discovered in the System's QLO logic as it related to skip row. A grower reports gross production for skip row and then a skip row factor (determined based on the planting pattern) is used to calculate net production. For purposes of QLO, the System did not previously have a field for net pre-quality production. Therefore, the System was using the gross pre-quality production. With this ticket, QLO functionality was updated to now account for skip row. With this update, a new "Net Pre-Quality Production" column was added to the APH Utilities grid. This update also brings a change in the skip row APH logic:

• When a Pre-Quality Yield value > 0 is keyed and a skip row factor less than or greater than 1.0 exists, the Net Pre Quality Production is applied as follows:
• Pre Quality Production/ Skip Row Factor = Net Pre Quality Production
• The System then uses the Net Pre-Quality Production/acres to determine the Pre-Quality Yield

NOTE: Net Pre-Quality Production should only be used to calculate the Pre-Quality Yield when a skip row factor less than or equal to 1.0 exists. Otherwise, the System will continue to use standard/gross Pre-Quality Production to calculate the Pre-Quality Yield.

135565

Perennials: An issue was reported where the System was not retaining a revised share value keyed by the user after the initial save of a detail line on a Plan 40 Tree policy. A system fix was implemented, and users are now able to key a revised share value on a detail line, and upon save, the System will retain the changes as expected.

136308

Tobacco: For the 2022+ RYs, the Risk Management Agency (RMA) has implemented a new mechanism for the calculation of the Weighted Average Price (WAP) for Flue-Cured Tobacco (0229). With this ticket, the new Weighted Average Price (WAP) calculation for Flue-Cured Tobacco (0229) has been implemented in the System.
