Defect 1410690: You encountered an error when you created a purchase order (PO) voucher using the Web Interface Console (WIC).

Defect 1395731: If the purchase order (PO) assigned to the subcontract has a status of Void, Costpoint displayed the following error message when you changed the status of the subcontract record from Active to Inactive and tried to save the record: "The Record Status cannot be changed to 'Inactive' if there are Purchase Orders with a status of 'Open' or 'Pending'."

Defect 1405875: You received a critical system error when you entered and saved data in a content data field on the Manage Contracts screen because its field name was too long. As a workaround, you can clear the Use to Link Content to Costpoint Records check box for the content data field on the Content Data Fields subtask of the Manage Application/Content Links screen.

Defect 1408986: When Separate Items By Company was selected on the Configure Product Definition Settings screen, and you loaded an engineering change notice (ECN) and tried a preview, you encountered a critical system error.

Defect 1402365: When you imported an inventory transaction on the Import Inventory Transactions screen and Auto-Assign Transaction IDs was selected, the next inventory transaction ID that should be autoassigned was skipped on the Manage Warehouses screen.

Defect 1378313: Material Requirements Planning (MRP) created reschedule order dates similar to the suggested due dates even though the purchase order (PO) had delivery schedules.

Defect 1412411: When you ran Material Requirements Planning, rescheduled the due date, implemented it, and clicked Save, the due date did not change.

Defect 1406714: When you ran Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and reviewed MRP Action Messages, submessages were not found and MRP bought original parts instead of using substitutes in stock. This defect affected MSS database users.

Defect 1400873: When you created a requisition, QC Insp Reqd, Srce Insp Reqd, and Cert Conf Reqd were set to None instead of No.

Defect 1404714: When you loaded a file for a service line without a ship ID, you encountered a validation error.

Defect 1411946: You encountered an AIRSH100 XML file schema validation failure for tax year 2020. This issue may be caused by out of sequence elements. This affects Costpoint users who electronically file ACA reporting.

Defect 1382095: When you ran the import process, you received a critical system error, and then Costpoint logged you out. This issue occurred instead of you just receiving the error on the error log.

 

As a workaround, fix all the errors found on the report before you proceed with the process.

Defect 1394278: The application imported records with invalid organizations into the EMPL_LAB_INFO table. The application generated an error message on the error report, but it still imported the file into the EMPL_LAB_INFO table.

This issue occurred when the import file contained two sets of data with different effective dates for the same employee. However, one line has an invalid organization, while the other line has the correct organization.

Defect 1391794: The Deltek Time & Expense User check box should be removed from the screen. This change should be included in the fix for defect 1323476, which removed the Use as login ID for Deltek Time & Expense check box from the Manage Users screen.

Defect 1400137: The screen should provide the ability to exclude job templates/requisitions that have a status of Filled and/or Rejected when you export data to Deltek Talent Management.

Defect 1400882: When you ran the Activate Retirement Changes process, the application did not apply newly added retirement benefit limits to the employee’s retirement benefits.

Defect 1391984: The current year limit for FSA displayed under the current contribution, which caused confusion for employees. The current year limit should be set to zero if employees do not have a current election.

Defect 1410803: When the application determines that the employee has COVID sick/family leave wages, the application should check if an accrual or expense account exists on the Employee Earnings Timesheet Information (EMPL_EARN_TS_INFO) table. Previously, the application only determined if an expense account existed on the Employee Earnings Timesheet Information table.

 

As a workaround, you can manually enter the data on the Manage W-2s screen and run the Create W-2 Table application again.

Defect 1416852: The payment advices did not display correct year-to-date (YTD) amounts.

Defect 1409721: The employer social security taxable amount was calculated incorrectly for correction records where the gross pay was zero and the employee social security taxable amount was negative. As a result, the application reported incorrect Qualified sick and family leave wages. This issue affects you if you enter correction records that have negative social security taxable amounts.

Defect 1382668: The application did not reflect a life event that reduced a deduction to $0. As a workaround, you can manually update the end date for the deduction.

Defect 1400157: The label for the requisition status option should be changed from “Disapproved” to “Rejected.”

Defect 1402745: The system was not computing correctly for default accounts under Labor Utilization.

Defect 1408902: Direct Utilization Splits that have the same Org Id and Account ID field values but with a different Program field value were not working as expected.

Defect 1401975: The PROJ_EAC_WRK_UPD_BRD and PROJ_BUD_WRK_UPD_BRD routines were still running from the applications even though these are already obsolete.

Defect 1375628: Costpoint cleared the value in the Item or Schedule Description field when you edited a record with Trans Type set to Schedule and then saved the record. For manually entered new records, the field value was also cleared when you saved the record.

Defect 1417159: Performance tuning has been been conducted for this application to prevent it from hanging.

Defect 1402290: When you reversed bills with VAT or IWO bills that have been posted in a prior period (using the same invoice number in the reversal), nothing was created in the tax tables or IWO allocations, and the values were duplicated upon rebill. These types of bills should not have been allowed to be reversed with the same invoice number.

 

Part of the fix is adding a validation to the Assign new invoice ID check box. Costpoint now throws an error message if you attempt to clear this check box in any of the following instances:

• The invoice being reversed was posted in an already closed period.

• The project is an inter-company project for which an IWO allocation must be created.

Defect 1400600: Inception-to-date (ITD) amounts displayed only at the funding level. ITD amounts should have displayed at both the funding and upper levels.

Defect 1404657: Compute Revenue has been enhanced to support better partitioning by company.

This requires PATCH3828.

Defect 1385903: Costpoint did not correctly calculate the subcontractor invoice when you reversed hours that were over the ceiling.

Defect 1411883: When using wildcard links, file importation employed direct validation, resulting in the file's failure to upload.

Defect 1412253: Clients with charge branch codes that appeared in more than one charge tree could not drill down to lower charge branches because those branches failed to display. They could, however, manually enter charges located on those lower branches.

 

Note: Rebuild lookup data and flags must be run after this fix is installed in order to correct already existing data and address the lookup problem.

Defect 1406880: Though the Allow Employee Deletion option was not selected on the Manage Pay Methods screen, the Hide check box for the Outstanding Expenses subtask in Manage MyDesktop displayed as clear and enabled and, therefore, allowed employees to hide the expense.

Defect 1405968: Upload of VISA files during an upgrade caused a system error, which did not occur when these files were uploaded to the earlier version (TE 9.0.1).

Defect 1412379: A submitted expense report included an Attach task for an expense type (Other) where the attachment was not required. This erroneously required task did not display during the Submit and Expense creation phases.
