Regulatory Enhancements


State


New York 2019 Quarterly Processing

New York State has released a new wage reporting requirement effective January 1, 2019. Employers are now to report employee wage and withholding information each calendar quarter. Previously, employers submitted year-to-date information on the fourth quarter return.

 

The electronic reporting file generated for New York through the Quarterly Processing application has been updated to include only the quarter information. The Quarterly Processing Editor form and Quarterly Electronic Filing Worksheet have also been updated with the following label changes:


Enhancements


Tax Analysis and Tax File Generation Time Frame Options


The Time Frame options for the Tax Analysis report and the Tax File Generation form have been updated to make them consistent with how Time Frame options work on other Accounting and Project reports. When you select the Range of Dates option, DPS no longer examines only the transactions posted through the active period. Instead, DPS always selects transactions within the specified date range, regardless of the period in which the transactions were posted or the dates of the current active period.

 

Also, when you select the Range of Dates option, the Tax Analysis report and Tax File Generation form now provide additional options for you to choose the tax point date for AP vouchers. This date can now be the Invoice Date (as was used in the past) or the Voucher Date. For more details about these Range of Dates changes, see Knowledge Base article 99362.


Touch


Updated PHP Version

 

The Touch Server for this version of the Deltek for Professional Services mobile application has been upgraded to support PHP 7.3.9.


Apache Cordova for Android, Android API Level, and Cordova Base Upgrade

Software Issues Resolved


Hubs >> Employees


Defect 1173394: The Projects grid on the Experience tab in the Employees hub did not include an option for sorting on the column header.


Hubs >> Firms


Defect 1167061: The Contacts grid on the Contacts tab did not save added or deleted contacts even when the notification displayed that the firm was successfully saved. When you added or deleted a contact in the Contacts grid of a firm record and then viewed another firm record (or another area in the Navigation pane), the added contact was missing from the Contacts grid or the deleted record was still displayed in the Contacts grid.


Hubs >> Opportunities


Defect 1176369: In the Opportunity list view, filters for user-defined employee fields did not work.


Hubs >> Projects >> Project


Defect 1154924: In the Projects hub, you could not create a new project or plan from a dormant project, because dormant projects were not listed on the Project lookup. 


My Stuff >> Approval Center


Defect 1141222: After you selected and approved expense line items, you were not able to generate an Expense Line Approval report because the approval of the other expense line items did not proceed and those line items retained their "In-Progress" status.


Defect 1149359: This issue applies if you use approvals for expense reports (turned on in Settings » Expense » Expense Approvals), and you selected an approval workflow that has the Both Expense Report and Expense Line approval level. After an expense report was submitted and an approver approved all the expense lines but rejected the expense report, if you deleted an expense line, the approval process for all of the expense lines below the deleted line were restarted when the expense report was submitted.


My Stuff >> Expense Report


Defect 1180685: The Approve option was not displayed when you complted the following steps on an expense report with an In-Progress approval status:

  1. Submit an expense report.

  2. Copy an expense line item and save the expense report.

  3. Delete the expense line item copy and save the expense report.

In addition to fixing the issue, the expense report now displays the Restart Approval option in place of the Approve option if:


My Stuff >> Reporting


Defect 1183005: The Field Security report in Reporting » Administration did not display the locked or hidden fields for the selected role.


Reporting

Reporting >> Employee


Defect 1176478: When you generated any employee report, you received an error message and the employee report was not displayed. This occurred if:


Reporting >> Opportunity


Defect 1159908: In the desktop application, when you generated the Opportunity Summary report and clicked the Print Layout button on the report window, the print layout view displayed a blank first page and blank pages in other parts of the report. The blank pages were only found in the print layout view, not in the generated report view.


Reporting >> Resource Planning


Defect 1175326: In Reporting » Resource Planning in the desktop application, if you ran the Labor Resource Planned and Actuals report and chose to sort the report by Studio, the projects were not correctly grouped.


Resource Management


Defect 1180931: In certain cases when the data included planned hours assigned to non-working days, you received this error when you tried to view employee utilization percentages in Resource View or on Resource Planning reports: "Value was either too large or too small for a Decimal."


Resource Management >> Resource View


Defect 1171773: When you viewed a project plan in Resource Management » Resource View, you were not able to edit the project plan if it contained unpublished changes.


Settings >> Time >> Time Periods and Settings >> Time >> Time Groups


Defect 1177417: When you added multiple timesheet periods using + Add Multiple Time Periods on the Time Periods form, or added multiple time groups on the Time Groups form, you would sometimes receive a blocking error that prevented the time periods and time groups from being saved.


Settings >> Workflow and Alerts


Defect 1180791: The Approve and Reject options were not displayed when you completed the following steps in a timesheet with an In-Progress approval status:

  1.  Submit a timesheet.

  2. Copy a row item and save the timesheet.

  3. Delete the row item copy and then save the timesheet.

In addition to fixing the issue, the expense report now displays the Restart Approval option in place of the Approve and Reject options if:


Touch


Defect 1179782: If you had already installed the mobile application and you either copy-pasted the Server URL or clicked the Server URL that your administrator sent you, it would still redirect to the app store instead of populating the Server URL field automatically. This defect only affected Deltek for Professional Services mobile application users who were using an iOS mobile device.


Touch >> Touch Time and Expense


Defect 1164829: If you opened the Expense Report screen in the mobile application, the list of expense reports would include expense reports created in other companies rather than those only created in your home company.


Transaction Center >> Posting Logs


Defect 1132339: The Labor Posting Log for timesheets, which you generate from the Posting Logs form in Transaction Center » Posting Logs of the desktop application, displayed unbalanced totals. This occurred because the Labor Type field, a required field, could be saved with a blank value after you cleared out the field. (The Labor Type field is on the Accounting tab of the Employees form in Hubs » Employee).
