Cause

  • Configuration Issue

Resolution

The radio buttons will be grayed out for the following reasons:

  1. "Use Current Guidelines and Ratings": This will be grayed out if you do not have guidelines configured in the plan template
  2. "Previous year's data (select plan template)": This will be grayed out if you are using assignment based rating in the template settings under rating configuration

To correct this you will need to re-evalutate your template configuration and adjust to include guidelines and not to use ABR.
