If you are integrating Maconomy with DPS and you need to import firms into DPS, you can now import the internal primary key for the firm records if that is necessary to ensure that the integration works correctly. To do so, make sure your import file contains the correct primary keys, and map that field in your import file to the Internal Primary Key field in the Import Firms from CSV dialog box in Utilities > Imports & Exports in DPS.

 

Warning: The primary key field is an internal database field that is not visible in the Firms hub. You should only import into the primary key field if you understand the database structure and fully understand that importing into this field may impact the integrity of your database. You should back up your database before importing into this field.

 

The Internal Primary Key import field was added to support users with the specific data requirement described above. If that situation does not apply to you, do not import data into this field. To import the firm numbers or vendor numbers that are visible in the Firms hub, map them instead to the Firm Number field or Vendor Number field.

DPS can now be integrated with QuickBooks Online (QBO) if you already own QBO and you have the DPS Front Office Package. The Front Office Package includes the following DPS modules:

• PSA: Project Accounting (Projects, Accounts Payable, Billing, and QB Integration)

• Time & Expense

• CRM (Customer Resource Management)

• Resource Planning

 

The integration allows you to use DPS as a project, planning, and CRM tool, while you track your financial transactions and general ledger in QBO. Certain data that you enter in either DPS or QBO is automatically shared and updated in the other product. For example, the timesheet hours that you enter in DPS are automatically added to QBO for processing payroll in QBO. The cash receipts for billing invoices that you enter in QBO are automatically added to DPS for project management purposes.

 

Revnue generation processing and billing transfers are not available in 1.1.7. They will be added in a future release.

 

For more information about installing and using the QuickBooks integration, see the online help topic QuickBooks Integration with DPS.

Previously, the DPS user interface was available only in U.S. English. This release adds support for international English as well. Terms used in DPS for which the spelling differs between the two types of English are displayed based on the type selected when you log in to DPS.

If a single type of English is appropriate for all locations in which your company uses DPS, that type is set as your only language as part of the licensing process. You do not need the Multilingual module. However, if your company has some locations that use international English and others that use U.S. English, you can purchase a DPS license that includes the Multilingual module. This allows each DPS user to select the type of English they prefer when they log in.

If you include the Multilingual module as part of your original DPS purchase, both types of English are automatically available when you start the product activation and setup processes. However, if you purchase the Multilingual module after you have begun using DPS, Deltek provides a password for that module. Enter that password on the Modules tab of the General System form (Settings > General > General System) to activate the module and make both types of English available.

Note: Deltek Touch for DPS does not yet support international English but will support it in a future version.

Non-administrator users may need access to the process queue manager so they can monitor the jobs that were sent to the process server. These users should be able to view their own jobs but not have the ability to stop or re-start the process queue. To support this change, DPS has been updated so that only administrator user roles will have the ability to change the Queue Status action in the Process Queue Manager. Non-administrator user roles can only view the status.

Defect 894321: Employees who had their timesheet administration level set to Staff in the Employees hub, were able to see their timesheets only for open time periods. They should have been be able to see their timesheets for all time periods.
