Louisiana 2022 Tax Updates

Louisiana's withholding methods have been updated effective January 1, 2022, by an emergency rule. Income tax rates have decreased to comply with a state constitutional amendment and legislation, which set the maximum permissible income tax rate for individuals at 4.75%.

H.B. 278, filed early 2021, decreased income tax rates starting January 1, 2022, to comply with the amendment. The bill also allows possible further income tax rate reductions effective January 1 of each year starting in 2025 and continuing through 2035, if specified state revenue goals are met.

In the withholding formulas, the tax rates used decreased compared to the previous formulas, and now range from 0.75% to 1.85%. The value of a state allowance remains at 44,500. The dependency credit remains at $1,000.


Maryland 2022 Tax Updates

Updates include the following:

Mississippi 2022 Tax Updates

In Mississippi’s 2022 withholding formula, the number of tax brackets decreased from four to three, with rates of zero, 4%, and 5%. The standard deductions used in the formula, on the other hand, were unchanged from 2021 and remain at $2,300, $3,400, or $4,600, depending on the filing status.

Enhancements


Dashboards


Important Update on Tableau Server

Tableau announced the end of maintenance for Tableau Server v2020.3.0 and other older versions due to security issues. Vantagepoint is now compatible with Tableau Server v2021.2.0. To avoid potential technical issues with Vantagepoint, update your Tableau Server.

For more information, see this Tableau knowledgebase article: https://kb.tableau.com/articles/issue/Early-End-of-Maintenance-for-Tableau-Products?_ga=2.113312711.194113507.1632400565-2139710534.1534768863


Projects Hub and Billing Terms


Billing Client Field Changes

Vantagepoint allows you to change the billing client for a project in the Billing Client field in either the Projects hub (on the Accounting tab) or in Billing Terms (in the Summary pane). However, you can’t change the client in this field when the client has any of the following items: outstanding pre-invoices, an outstanding retainer balance, an outstanding retainer amount, or a draft invoice still going through the approval process.

For these scenarios in previous Vantagepoint versions, you were allowed to change the billing client. However, when you tried to save the change, you were prevented from saving, and you received an error message letting you know why.

In Vantagepoint 4.5.6, the Billing Client field is now read-only for these scenarios. Click the info bubble beside the field for more information about what is preventing you from changing the billing client.

Software Issues Resolved


Accounting >> Absence Accruals >> Hours Adjustment


Defect 1042000: The number of hours in the Current Balance field on the Hours Adjustment form and the Accured Time report did not equate to zero even if the values in the YTD Earned and YTD Taken fields were almost equal. This issue occurred if you edited the Hours Adjustment record and entered values with three decimal places. When you saved the record, Vantagepoint rounded the values to two decimal places.


Accounting >> Form 1099 Processing


Defect 1596334: When you used the Electronic Filing 1099-MISC or Electronic Filing 1099-NEC other action on the Form 1099 Processing form, the Wisconsin state ID was missing from the file.


Accounting >> Intercompany Billing


Defect 1571638: The date on which you ran the Intercompany Billing process was incorrectly assigned to the Intercompany Billing journal entry transactions. The date specified in the Transaction Date field on the Posting Information tab in Intercompany Billing should have been used instead.


Defect 1580153: An AP voucher file created from Intercompany Billing was missing the reverse charge tax on the markup portion of the entry.


Accounting >> Revenue Generation


Defect 1516326: If you turned off the Revenue Generation feature in Settings » Accounting » Revenue after you had turned it on and processed revenue using revenue categories, all previous unbilled service, unbilled revenue, and fee invoice billed amounts from Revenue Generation processing were retained. They should have been removed.

 

 

Defect 1500431: When you selected Run on the Revenue Generation form in Accounting » Revenue Generation or the Refresh Billing Extensions form in Utilities » Updates » Refresh Billing Extensions, you received the following error message: "at least one project has no billing terms." A project that was not approved for use in processing was incorrectly included in the project search.


API


Defect 1550703: When you retrieved metadata using the GET Project Metadata API endpoint, you received incorrect data in the TotalDirectFees, TotalDirectFeesBilling, and TotalDIrectFeesFunc fields. The captions returned for the fields were incorrect.


Defect 1579167: This issue occurred when you used the POST method to add a new record to a hub with custom fields where none are checkboxes, or numeric, or have a default value set. If the payload that you sent did not include any custom fields, you received this error message: "Error parsing XML returned from Web Service."


Architecture


Defect 1585846: When you used the filter option to search for receipts and payments using amounts and you entered a whole number, a decimal point and two zeros were automatically added to the field. For example, if you entered 222, after a few seconds the search parameter autofilled as 222.00.

This issue occurred in applications in which you were able to filter search results based on amounts, including (but not limited to) the following:


Billing


Defect 1416489: This issue occurred when your security role had limited access to Interactive Billing, Batch Billing, or Draft Invoice Approval. When you tried to open the Email Invoice dialog box, you received this error message: "You do not have Access."


Defect 1551419: This issue occurred when a project had the Fee Method option set to Percent Complete by Phase, as Percent of Fee on the Fees tab in Billing Terms. When you changed the amount in the Fee to Date field in the Fee Billing Phases grid on the Fees tab, the Percent Complete field in the grid was not automatically updated as it should have been. Likewise, when you changed the percentage in the Percent Complete field in the Fee Billing Phases grid, the amount in the Fee to Date field in the grid was not automatically updated.


Billing >> Interactive Billing


Defect 1523403: This issue occurred when the billing phase number that you entered on the Fees tab of the Billing Terms form exceeded 4 characters. When you tried to print an invoice in Interactive Billing, you received an "arithmetic overflow" error message.


Defect 1574851: On the Invoice Accept dialog box in Interactive Billing, when you added rows to the Project Detail grid, edited amounts in the Amount field in the rows, and clicked Accept, you received the following error message: "GL account is inactive, cannot insert the value Null into column 'WBS3 'table."


Cash Management >> Bank Reconciliation


Defect 1577053: When you opened a bank reconciliation record in Cash Management » Bank Reconciliation, you were not able to edit the amounts in the Bank Entries section. This issue occurred if you defined bank entry types (interest revenue, bank fees, and so on) on the Bank Reconciliation tab of the Banks form in Settings » Cash Management » Banks.


Cash Management >> Credit Card Review


Defect 1562111: When you tried to open the Credit Card Review application, the form did not display.


Cash Management >> Vendor Payments


Defect 1534659: When you processed and posted a wire payment for a vendor, the value of the Bank Amount field was rounded incorrectly. This resulted to a discrepancy between the following:

Hubs >> Firms >> Firms


Defect 1527975: When you created a new contact record from the Contacts tab in the Firms hub, the job title that you entered in the Title field did not save and display in the Firm Contacts grid.


Defect 1565241: When the Approved for Use in Processing caption on the Vendor tab in the Firm's hub was changed in the Screen Designer, the Company Name in the caption was not updated when changing companies.


Defect 1568411: When you changed the caption or alternate caption for the Socioeconomic fields in the Screen Designer for the Firms hub and saved, you received this error message: "Record Firms|X|Clendor.AlaskaNative already exists and cannot be added."


Hubs >> Firms >> Voucher Review


Defect 1572972: In the Vouchers grid, when you clicked the Approval ID hyperlink, you received an error message saying that the record was not found or that you do not have access to it. This issue occurred when your role did not have access to the Purchasing application.

This issue also occurred in Cash Management » Vendor Review.


Hubs >> Marketing Campaigns


Defect 1590032: On the Responses tab in the Marketing Campaigns hub, no visual indicator displayed to indicate that processing was taking place when you added a large number of records in the Responses grid.

Defect 1589148: This issue occurred on the Fees tab of the Billing Terms form when you set the Fee Method option to Percent Complete by Phase, as Fixed Amount and also selected the Allocate Billed Revenue on Fee Invoices Based on Category option for your project. When you selected a phase in the Fee Billing Phases grid, the line item did not properly display in the Billing Phase Category grid and you were unable to enter fee information.


Defect 1589584: This issue occurred on the Fees tab of the Billing Terms form when your project had fee billing phases.

Defect 1578874: This issue occurred when you selected Active from the project search and switched to List view. If you then set up the Filter control with the Status column set to Active and ran the filter or exported the list, the results included projects that were not active but which did contain active phases or tasks.


Defect 1583222: This error occurred when you did the following:

  1. On the Record Access tab of Security » Roles, you enabled the Allowed Charge Types for New Projects option for all Regular projects for the Administrator role.

  2. On the Accounting tab of Screen Designer » Projects, you locked the Charge Type option for the administrator and user role.

Mobile >> Mobile Time and Expense


Defect 1572178: When you logged in to the Mobile T&E application, the name displayed in the User ID field of Settings was not the name of the current user. The issue occurred when you entered a different username on the Windows Authentication page instead of the same username that you entered on the Log In screen of Mobile T&E.


My Stuff >> Approval Center


Defect 1527917: When you clicked My Stuff » Approval Center, the application took a long time to open.


Defect 1580138: This issue applies for Absence Requests, Timesheets, Expense Lines, and Expense Reports approval types.

On the Approval Center form, when you clicked Reassign and then selected Move Assignment on the Change Assignment On Current Step dialog box, the employee currently assigned to the approval step was not listed in the drop-down list in the From field.


My Stuff >> Dashboards


Defect 1578232: This issue occurred for roles with no access to labor cost/rate amounts. In dashparts with the employee dashpart base, the value in the Target Ratio column incorrectly displayed zero, instead of the target ratio value.

Defect 1497299: When you ran a favorite report that was based on the Office Earnings report, you encountered performance issues and received this error message: "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached."

Defect 1570332: This issue occurred on the AR Statement report. When you set the Unit of Measure option to Millimeters in My Preferences » Reporting, the report incorrectly displayed measurements in inches instead of millimeters.


Defect 1572683: This issue applies to the Project List report. When you entered user-defined currency fields in the Calculation field and generated the report, the Final Totals row of the report displayed "#Error."


Defect 1575435: This issue occurred for firms with multiple companies. When you ran the Office Earnings report and drilled down on the value in the Hours column, on the Labor Detail report that was then displayed the value of the Total Hours incorrectly included labor hours from only one company.

On the Resource View form, the Utilization % field for the resources incorrectly included the ETC value for the project.
