Disabled Rate Maps

While adding a Rate Map to an event in the Farm Plan Editor, users may have options in the list of available rate maps that are labeled Disabled. These Rate Maps are not selectable and have an error alongside rate maps that have not been prepared. Causes for the Disabled denotation include, but are not limited to:

• Wrong inventory site/ not having an inventory site selected for the product
• Not having the correct inventory site selected for the product
• The product has been removed from the active inventory site

Once the error is resolved for the Rate Map, it will be removed from the Disabled List and be once again usable for Farm Plans.
