Release Notes, June 22, 2023

This release includes updated MRV behavior and features. To allow more flexibility during the producer’s Fields and Practice Changes review, the MRV will no longer generate the contract on the producer’s submission. Producer’s contracts will now be generated on the Fields and Practice Changes approval. This will allow a producer to have their data unlocked and resubmitted before a contract is created. The MRV will continue to restrict the ability to unlock a producer once their Producer Agreement module has been completed. The MRV had new features added in support of the upcoming Final Review and Submission module work. Once a producer submits their Crops module, the MRV will now lock their data down. In addition to locking the data, the MRV will also create a copy of the submitted data and save it as an archived record. The reviewer is now able to adjust the producer’s submitted data, to allow the data to be sent to the model, independently of the original data submitted. MRV administrator and staff accounts will now see an option to “unlock data”. This will undo the Crops module submission. Administrator and staff accounts will have the option to either unlock and set the producer back to what they submitted or keep the current MRV data.

A couple of major fixes are included in this release. Producers will no longer receive an “invalid agreement” message when they attempt to sign their agreement after some time has passed. Producers who waited to sign their producer agreement would previously get an “invalid agreement” message when they logged into the MRV and attempted to sign. In addition to the signature issue being fixed, the issue affecting the ability to download completed agreements has been resolved. Producers will no longer get an “invalid agreement” when attempting to download a signed agreement at a later date. The full list of release notes has been included below.
