The COP lines for crops with a unit of $ have been removed. _________________________________________________________ Portfolio Risk Analyst / RankEm release 5.10.6, dated 03/07/2024 RankEm+ has the ability to pull the users data down to a local RankEm database. The list of Special Sort items for the Farm, Crop and Livestock were not getting pulled correctly due to the internal workings of the Cloud verses the desktop. This release fixes that issue. While creating reports, the message "No Current Record" would appear on the screen and the report would not run.

If you load those farms into RankEm with this version, that will be corrected. When using RankEm in the FINPACK+ environment, the Multiple Benchmark Reports are now zipped and saved in the users local Downloads directory in a file named MBR_Results.zip The Enterprise instance report now has the ability to list the number of Market Channel enterprises in the database. The Error check report was reporting the Cover Crop information for "Missing Field ID" and "Cover Crop Expense found" under the wrong section headings.
