DESCRIPTION ID #

An issue was reported where information was missing from the Add New Detail Line and View Detail Line screens for Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) Cattle. As part of the 2025+ RYs regulatory changes from RMA, LGM was updated in the System to include new user-input Target fields. With these new input fields, additional ADM values were missed to display that used in premium calculations.

With these new ADM values being added to the LGM Cattle screens in the system, they were also going to be added with this ticket to the LGM Schedule of Insurance (SOI) form to be consistent.
