Release Notes 12.010.0

PRH: With this ticket, the Production Revenue History (PRH) form has been updated in the following ways for all years:

Enterprise Units: This ticket updated the Policy Change Form to display what was selected for Enterprise Units - Enterprise Unit Separated by Cropping Practice (EC) and Enterprise Unit Separated by Type (ET). The Option field was updated for the Coverage Line so it displays the correct information when EC has been selected for Enterprise Units and ECO has been selected as an option.

MPCI Application: This ticket updated the MPCI Application to provide more information on what was selected for Enterprise Units - Enterprise Unit Separated by Cropping Practice (EC) and Enterprise Unit Separated by Type (ET). Also, other labeling and verbiage change requests were made since this form was already being updated.

Livestock: With this ticket, the MPCI Application that prints from the DRP Livestock policy Print tab has been updated in the following ways for all years:

Livestock: The Dairy Revenue Protection (DRP) Quarterly Coverage Endorsement (QCE) has been updated to add Subsidy and Cost per CWT fields to the form for all years.

NOTE: Cost per CWT will be blank until the System has implemented calculations with TFS #139878 in a future release.

Special Provisions: SPOIs were updated and made available from RMA on June 27. The following Special Provisions for 2023 have been downloaded from 2023_SPOI_0630.zip and implemented in the System: Grass Seed (0102) – APH (90) – 9/30 SCD, 6/30 CCD – MN, ND.

HIP: The 2023 Hurricane Insurance Protection (HIP) Data Provisions and Wind Index Endorsement has been implemented in the System. Provisions print with the MPCI Policy Declaration Page when the print option to print provisions with the form is selected. The MPCI Policy Declaration Page is available to print from the MPCI policy Print tab in individual MPCI policies and from the Batch Printing menu.

CEPP: The RMA updated the following sections of the Commodity Exchange Price Provisions (CEPP) document for the 2023+ CYs:

The revised CEPP Crop Provisions that will be effective for the 2023+ CYs have been implemented in the System. Provisions print with the MPCI Policy Declaration Page when the print option to print provisions with the form is selected. The MPCI Policy Declaration Page is available to print from the MPCI policy Print tab in individual MPCI policies and from the Batch Printing menu.

Livestock: The LRP Application has been updated in the following ways for all years:

Livestock: The Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) Schedules of Insurance (SOIs) have been updated in the following ways:

Nursery: The Nursery (FG&C & NVS) format of the Schedule of Insurance (SOI) was updated to print revised inventory in the premium summary in the scenario where original inventory is $0 and revised inventory is greater than $0.

NOTE: The original issue report also stated that the HIP Option should not print in the premium summary since HIP does not apply to revised lines. It was confirmed that HIP is not printing on the actual revised detail line; however, it does print in the Options Applied to Coverage section of the premium summary because HIP is elected on the coverage. This is by design.

Livestock: The Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) Transfer of Rights to an Indemnity (TOR) form has been updated in the following ways for all years:

Special Provisions: SPOIs were updated and made available from RMA on June 24. The following Special Provisions for 2023 have been downloaded from 2023_SPOI_0630.zip and implemented in the System:

UDGO: Beginning 2023+ RYs, each OU established under UDGO will be comprised of the insurable cropland under the same BU with a Section Equivalent ID. Each field, which is defined by the CCIP-BP as all acreage of tillable land within a natural or artificial boundary (roadway, waterway, fences, etc,) will be assigned to a single Section Equivalent ID. Different planting patterns or planting different crops do not create separate fields. For fields that cross grid boundaries, the field will be assigned to the Section Equivalent IDs in which the centroid of that field lies. All fields under the same BU having a centroid with the Section Equivalent ID will comprise the OU.

Insureds must report the RMA grid associated with the field location identification for each field. Section Equivalent IDs will be listed in "Section Equivalent ID" ICE Table D00187 and display in format of XX-XXXXXXX-XX (ex. TX-13RFQ38-31). A new "Section Equivalent ID" will be added to the P27 record for this value. The Section Equivalent ID will be required whenever the UG option is applied to the detail line and will be keyed manually in the Land ID modal.

Core functionality for UDGO has been implemented with TFS #121586 for RY 2023+ for Category B crops in Georgia, Maine, and Texas. This ticket adds functionality supporting the new Section Equivalent ID.

NOTE: TFS #139982 has been created to address removing Section Equivalent IDs when a UG written agreement has been deleted.

During testing for the Telerik upgrade, an issue was found where the verbiage, "All applicable information below must be completed, along with attaching any required documentation, before submitting to RMA / RO.", that prints under the "Request for Actuarial Change Form" title was missing on the Request for Actuarial Change Form. This issue has been resolved for all years.

Premium Line: During internal review of existing code, a developer found some inefficient code that determined when to display Revised Signature Dates on the Maintain Detail Line page. The code in question triggered each time acres were changed on a premium line, even if changing from 0 to a value greater than zero. Once acres were changed, there was a series of look ups to see if the Revised Signature Dates should display or not. With this ticket, this logic was updated to enhance system performance when loading the Maintain Detail Line page. The Revised Signature Date logic on the Maintain Detail Line page was updated to remove the check called out above and always display the Revised AR Sign Date fields on the Maintain Detail Line page if:

Small Grains: RMA released a Small Grains Crop Provisions - Malt Barley Endorsement for the 2023 and succeeding Crop Years (CYs), and it has been implemented in the System. Provisions print with the MPCI Policy Declaration Page when the option to print provisions with the form is selected. The MPCI Policy Declaration Page is available to print from the MPCI policy Print tab in individual MPCI policies and from the Batch Printing menu.

During internal testing, an issue was found where, when creating a new Livestock Policy from an existing Livestock Policy, all LRP and LGM SBIs were being copied to the new policy, even if the SBIs were deselected on the user interface when creating the new Livestock Policy. This issue has been resolved for the 2023+ RYs so that only the selected SBIs will roll to the new Livestock Policy.

During internal testing an issue was found where, if a user tried to key a future date on the Add New and Maintain Detail Line pages, an Elmah error was triggered. In this instance, the System should have returned a red hard stop with the message that future dates are now allowed. A fix has been implemented to trigger a red hard stop error when attempting to key future dates on Add New/Maintain Detail Line pages for all Livestock plans.

LRP: RMA requires that a share be entered for SBIs on Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) policies. However, they do not want the share to be entered when the SBI Share is less than 10%. When LRP policies are transmitted with SBI shares under 10%, they are returned in error. In an effort to try to avoid these errors an enhancement request was submitted asking for a hard stop error message when the SBI Share entered is less than 10%. It was decided that rather than locking the page down completely with a hard stop, in this scenario, a warning message will now be triggered, allowing the user to continue if they wish. This will also help avoid issues in the future if RMA changes the rules on SBI submissions for LRP.

Users requested the ability to add fields to PRF Wizard from existing map regions. A new button exists (+) in the PRF Wizard to allow a user to fields add from map region. Select the button to add fields from a Map Region.

Users requested relabeling of the Reload buttons in the PRF Wizard. The reload button allows the following options:

WFRP/Micro Farm: Internal testing discovered an issue with how the "Revert Changes" functionality was working on the WFRP Final FOR page. A red screen and subsequent Elmah error was thrown when the "Revert Changes" functionality was invoked on the Final FOR page for WFRP (0076) and Micro Farm (9110) policies. A fix has been implemented so that utilizing the "Revert Changes" functionality on the WFRP Final FOR will not trigger a red screen and Elmah error.

UDGO: After adding the new Section Equivalent ID for Unit Division by Grid Option (UDGO) in TFS #138375, it was found that a generic error message needed to be updated to identify what Land ID was not in the valid format. When Sec/Twp/Rng or Section Equivalent ID are not in the correct format, there will be a popup message for each. The old message "One or more Land ID could not be updated" was replaced with:

Fast Edit AR: A request was received from an AIP for Fast Edit AR workflow improvements. The recommendations were for adding the respective signature dates to the display within the Fast Edit Acreage Reporting page. In addition to the signature dates, the attachments icon was also suggested to be implemented so the users are able to open the Attachments tab from within the Fast Edit pages.

The System has been updated to add the respective signature dates to the display within the Fast Edit Acreage Reporting page. The Fast Edit Acreage Reporting Dates and label will only display if sign dates exists. Additionally, the attachments icon has been added to the Fast Edit Acreage Reporting page so a user will have the ability to open the Attachments tab from within the Fast Edit pages. Once the attachment icon has been selected, the System will open the policy’s Attachment tab in its present state as a new browser tab.

In addition to these changes requested, the attachments icon was also updated within the Signature Maintenance of the Fast Edit Acreage Reporting page to display the Attachments tab in the same manner as it will display with the changes noted above. For consistency purposes, the attachments icon, when selected, will launch within a new browser tab.
