VFR: The Veteran Farmer and Rancher (VFR) Application has been added to the Livestock Print menus (LRP, DRP, LGM) for all Crop Years. This form was updated in this release with TFS 147525, and all changes contained for the form in that ticket apply to the form on the Livestock Print menus as well.

147527

BFR/VFR: A request was received to change the default for the "Display Unmasked Tax IDs" print option to being selected for some application type of forms. This ticket updated the default for the Beginning Farmer Rancher (BFR) and Veteran Farmer Rancher (VFR) Applications on MPCI and Livestock Print menus. This update is applicable to all years.

NOTE: The design is so that when a user first selects the form, the Display Unmasked print option defaults as selected. If the user deselects the form and comes back to it, any selected print options remain selected. If the user switches to another report style for the form, all other print options clear, which means none are selected.

Livestock

DESCRIPTION ID #

This ticket was stood up to account for database field changes that needed to be considered for the roll from the 2023 RY to 2024 RY for Livestock. An additional change was needed for LRP Coverages. Last year, special logic was put in place for LRP due to the eDas to PASS conversion. Logic last year was rolling only one active LRP coverage per County/Commodity combination. The roll logic for LRP has been updated this year so that DRP, LGM, and LRP work the same where all ACTIVE coverages will roll to the following RY.

MPCI

DESCRIPTION ID #

Fast Edit PR: An issue was reported where a "Sorry..." error was being generated within the Fast Edit PR when updating Potato Production. A System fix was implemented and a user will no longer receive a "Sorry..." error when updating Potato Production within the Fast Edit PR.

147960

Land IDs: An issue was found internally where, when a user keyed acres and canceled out of the Land ID popup, the System did not set the Land ID on the newly associated child line as expected. The System logic was updated for the Land ID sync, so that upon save, it updates and sets the Land ID information to the associated premium child line.

147399

PHTS: An issue was reported where duplicate units were importing via PHTS. It was found that this was related to the CommonOptionCode having a new location in the PHTS file for the 2022 RY. RMA changed the starting position from 219 with a length of 20 characters for the 2013-2021 RYs to a starting position of 889 with a length of 34 characters in the 2022 RY. This issue has been resolved.
