Support for Minnesota SUTA Electronic Filing

Costpoint now allows you to generate an electronic file for Minnesota's quarterly unemployment wage detail report in EFW2 format.

Note: This enhancement requires PATCH3843.

 

Manage SUTA Tax File Data (PRMSMM)

You can now create and manage a SUTA Tax File Data record for Minnesota.

The screen provides a new Pay Types Excluded in Hours Worked subtask where you can list pay types that will not be included in determining the employee’s number of hours worked for the quarter. This subtask is currently available for Minnesota only. Use the following fields on the subtask to select the pay types that you want to exclude:

Field	Description
Pay Type	Enter, or click  to select, a pay type that you want to exclude in determining the employee’s number of hours worked for the quarter. Not all hours recorded in the timesheet may be included in the number of hours worked, depending on the state regulations. For example, in Minnesota, vacations without pay should not be counted as hours worked.
Description	This field displays the description of the selected pay type.

 

Manage Employee Taxes (PRMETAX)

The Owner field now applies to Minnesota. If you select the employee's Owner check box, the application will set Officer Code to Y (affirmative) in the SUTA file.

The section label was updated to indicate “Minnesota.”

Note: This update was also applied to the Taxes subtask of the Manage Employee Information screen.

 

Create Quarterly SUTA Tax File (PRPSMM)

You can now generate a SUTA file for Minnesota in the EFW2 format.

 

Print Data Dictionary Report (SYRDD)

The Print Data Dictionary Report now provides information for the SUTA_EXCLUDE_PAY_TYPE table.

Costpoint updates the computation of non-FSA/HSA premium amounts on the Life Events/New Hires screen and Benefits Enrollment screen. The premium amounts will now be based on the Deduction/Contribution Timing assigned to the employee’s pay cycle. This update provides a more accurate estimated premium amount since this same logic is used by the Update Employee Package Deductions screen to generate the benefits premium deductions.

This update affects following tabs of the Life Events/New Hires screen and Benefits Enrollment screen:

• AD&D

• Dental

• Dependent Life Insurance

• Life Insurance

• Long-Term Disability

• Medical Insurance

• Other Benefits

• Short-Term Disability

• Spouse AD&D

• Spouse Life Insurance

• Supplemental AD&D

• Supplemental Life Insurance

• Vision

Defect 1449938: When you used the Web Interface Console (WIC) to enter a new voucher for a purchase order with an exchange rate date that is different from the current date, Costpoint incorrectly set the exchange rate date for the voucher.

Defect 1454368: When you posted fixed asset adjustment entries, the entries for the Reference 2 number of the depreciation expense account allocation codes were not printed in the Fixed Assets Journal. This happened even when the Reference 1 option was cleared and the Reference 2 option was selected in the Print Journal For group box of the Configure General Ledger Settings screen.

Both the Reference 1 and Reference 2 lines were also updated on the REF_SUM table even if only one reference number option was selected in the Print Journal For group box of the Configure General Ledger Settings screen.

Defect 1460387: When you updated tax report tables, the values in the TOT_PRICE_AMT and TRN_TOT_PRICE_AMT columns of the Tax Report Line (RPT_TAX_LN) table were the total invoice values for all rows instead of only the values associated for each tax code.

Defect 1427674: You could not approve multiple timesheets simultaneously. As a workaround, you can approve one timesheet at a time.

Defect 1432456: When you ran Update Indented Bills of Material Report Table for all bills of material, the process took over 60 hours to complete. The application has been modified to improve performance.

Defect 1452564: When you issued the parts out of order, you received this critical system error: "Can't find bind variable nTrnQty among public variables of the class." However, the records appear to have been processed successfully, but you were kicked out of Costpoint after processing.

Defect 1442094: When you did a substitute, the Substitute populates Substitution Quantity (Manufacturing Order) incorrectly and did not decrease the original part quantity.

Defect 1452754: When you tried to create a requisition from the application, you received the following system error: ORA-1400 - MRPFPO- Cannot insert NULL into (""rq_ln.manuf_part_id"") when releasing PR. db_admin_mr_lvl=""MR_7171021".

Defect 1446668: When you used substitutes, the resulting firmed order quantities were incorrect.

Defect 1447156: When you ran Update Material Requirements Plan, the Due Date was missing from Transfer Action Messages that are supplying Safety Stock requirements, which resulted in a critical error when you tried to firm the messages.

Defect 1451041: When you created planned orders which should only include lead time for Buy elements if the part is Buy, and include lead time for Make elements when the part is Make, the Suggested Order Date and Suggested Release Date were incorrect.

Defect 1465907: Performance has been improved by adding an index on SHOP_CALENDAR.

Defect 1462553: When you entered a purchase order (PO) receipt, the resulting inventory transaction records (INVT_TRN table) have null values in the ORG_ID column.

Defect 1458015: When you created a sales order issue with more than 100 lot tracked-only item lines, you encountered an error upon save.

Defect 1462952: If the Dependent FSA limit increased mid-year, the application did not allow you to change the Maximum Amount field since the application disabled the field after employee deductions have been withheld.

As a workaround, you can change the individual employee limits. This workaround does not allow employees to use that higher limit in ESS.

• Other Dependents

• Other Tax Credit Amount

Defect 1430639: When you processed life events, the updated beneficiary records from the Life Events/New Hires screen did not display on the Assign Beneficiaries to Benefit Plans screen.

As a workaround, you can manually update the beneficiary records on the Assign Beneficiaries to Benefit Plans screen.

Defect 1414246: The screen displayed a blank Calculation Method field for deductions with a Deduction Method of GHRSPD. As a result, the screen did not allow you to save the changes because the Calculation Method field is required.

However, when you exported the data to Deltek Time and Expense, the export file updated the balance for the new leave type only. The balance for the old leave type remained the same in Deltek Time and Expense.

Defect 1473559: The application validated the length of the Employee ID field based on a maximum length of 11 characters only. The application should validate the length of the Employee ID field based on the Employee ID Length field on the Configure Labor Settings screen.

Defect 1475455: When you transfer rates from Shop Floor Time to Costpoint, Costpoint should not override the labor amount.

Defect 1376570: The Labor Distribution Journal displayed the value of the Reference 1 field twice instead of the values of both Reference 1 and Reference 2 fields.

Defects 1466340 and 1466334: The Validate Same Invoice ID in Closed Periods/IWO Project in Reverse Previous Bills check box has been added to the Configure Billing Settings screen. If you select this check box, Costpoint enforces validation when reversing same invoices in closed periods or for inter-company work order (IWO) projects.

 

The Reverse Previous Bills screen is also updated to check the value of this new check box. If the check box is not selected, Reverse Previous Bills will not display any validations and will allow reversal of same invoices in closed periods or for IWO projects.

Defect 1409726: The following error occurred when you tried to manually reverse invoices for a project with more than 64 different customers: "java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 64."

Defect 1462499: This application has been enhanced to process more efficiently.

As a workaround, you can use individual periods, each having its own contract and funded award fees.

Defect 1449628: Because Time & Expense failed to check for overlaps of Start/Stop times across days, when users did submit overlapping work periods, they were not notified of their error.

Defect 1457529: The Revision Explanation dialog box did not display if you first selected a preset revision explanation, canceled that revision, and then made new changes. As a result, you were unable to select a different predetermined text from the drop-down list.

Defect 1459702: When using the timesheet in PWA mode, you were able to enter .7 hours though the accepted increments were quarter-hours.
