• The APH / Acreage Reporting form, when printing for non-APH policies, will now pre-headed like the APH Database Form.
• When cancelled coverages are generated on the APH / Acreage Reporting form, a Telerik error was occurring in the page 1 Options field. This has been fixed.

DESCRIPTION ID #

ACRSI: Users requested the ability to import records from ACRSI in the Fast Edit CLU. This has been implemented. To do this, open the policy that has ACRSI data you want to sync from; go to the Detail Line tab, click on the ellipsis, and select Fast Edit CLU; click the option to Import from ACRSI; and on selecting import, the System will update fields with data from ACRSI and auto-match it to the correct policy, coverage, and premium line if enough information is present to determine that those values.

136125

Coverages: TFS #134703 added two new fields—Prior Year Premium and Estimated Current Year Premium—to the database that will initially be used by an Agent or CIS to populate values for agencies that provide an M13 file for import to process transferring books of business.

With this ticket, these two new fields have been added to the Maintain and View Coverage pages for all 2022+ MPCI (all crops/plans) and WFRP policies. Livestock is NOT included at this time. These fields are open to Agent or AIP users without any coverage lockout restrictions or permissions for use. Input value is a dollar ($) amount from 0.00 to a max of 99,999,999.

• On the Maintain Coverage page, below the Spring SOI Ready field in right column:
• A new field, Prior Year Premium, was added with a corresponding input field.
• A new field, Est. Current Year Premium, was added with a corresponding input field.
• On the View Coverage page, below the Spring SOI Ready field and between the Waive Admin Fee field:
• A new field, Prior Year Premium, was added with a saved value in read-only format. "$0" will display when the value = 0.00.
• A new field, Est. Current Year Premium, was added with a saved value in read-only format. "$0" will display when the value = 0.00.

Fast Edit AR: An issue was found where, when a user was adding a new APH without actual yields via the APH Drawer of Fast Edit AR, a "Sorry..." error was received upon save. A System fix was implemented so that users will no longer receive a "Sorry..." error upon save when adding a new APH without actual yields via the APH Drawer of the Fast Edit AR page.

136597

Fast Edit AR: During internal testing, a display issue was found with the Manage Unit Structure and Validate buttons on the Fast Edit AR page. The System has been updated to fix the display issue with these buttons on the Fast Edit AR page.

137041

Flue-Cured Tobacco: For the 2022 RY+, the Risk Management Agency (RMA) has implemented a new mechanism for the calculation of the Weighted Average Price (WAP) for Flue-Cured Tobacco (0229). The Contract Price can be substituted for the Maximum Over Established Price for Organic Producers under the Contract Pricing Addendum (CPA). The New Weighted Average Price Calculation if "CP" is on at least one Coverage and Practice, "Organic-Certified" (723) or "Organic-Transitional" (724): (Contract Price * Contract %) + (Established Price * Non-Contract %) = WAP (Round to 4 decimals).

NOTE: This calculation can only handle situations were 1 unique Contract Price is present for the Type/Organic Practice. If more than 1 unique Contract Price exists, the System will not calculate the WAP and instead use the Established Price. In this scenario, AIPs are expected to utilize the "WAP Override" field in the Maintain Contract page to calculate the WAP manually.

136736

PRH: For PRH Strawberries, the Price Election Amount for CAT is determined by multiplying the Approved PPP by the CAT Price Election Percent of 55% and then rounding to 4 decimal places. The rounding of this price was not always being applied correctly and resulted in P11-7188 PASS errors for a handful of policies in 2022 because the incorrect prices were throwing off our Liability calculations. The CAT Price Election Amount rounding was adjusted to properly round to 4 decimal places for PRH Plans 21, 22, and 23.

NOTE: 2022 PRH Premium Lines receiving P11-7188 PASS errors will need to be recalculated to apply the correct price after the 11.085 release.

137054

Perennials: An issue was reported where an Approved Yield was being removed if the Maintain APH page or DY Written Agreement were resaved. This was happening after a user keyed an APH Override for an Approved RO Determined Yield on the Maintain APH page resulting in the Approved yield calculating correctly upon initial save. The System was updated so that now, when a user keys an APH Override for an Approved RO Determined Yield, the values keyed will remain in the database and no longer be removed upon a resave of the Maintain Coverage or DY Written Agreement records pages.
