Important Notes


These release notes address all of the modules associated with Deltek Costpoint 7.1.22, some of which your firm may not use. Skip the sections that do not apply to your implementation of Deltek Costpoint.

Release notes are available from the landing page and the Costpoint Information Center. We will make a PDF available for a while, as we transition to the new format.

We want the release notes to be as easy to use as possible. To this end, we will continue to analyze and improve upon the format. If you have feedback, please email DeltekDocumentationFeedback@deltek.com.

 

Installation Notes

 

The MR installer reads through all Costpoint systems selected. If a Time & Expense segment is found, it searches for the presence of a Time & Expense license for that Costpoint system. It provides a listing of all such systems found, prompting you to review the list and remove (using DBWizard, Remove License) any TE license from the Costpoint system where the connected TE segment is for a stand-alone, external connection that should not have had a Time & Expense license applied to it.

 

Any external Time & Expense segments found where a Time & Expense license is not present, or where the Time & Expense segment is for a Time & Expense 901 system, the MR Time & Expense patches, SPs, or Data Dictionary files will not be applied.

 

If all systems listed are properly licensed for Time & Expense and you do want the MR applied to them, please proceed. If you are unsure, please contact Deltek Technical Support.


Regulatory Enhancements

Florida Reemployment Tax Electronic Filing Software ID Update

The EDI/XML Development Team of Florida Department of Revenue provided a new production Software ID for Deltek, Inc (Costpoint). The Create Quarterly SUTA Tax File screen now uses the new Software ID in the generated XML file for Florida.

To support the update, Costpoint adds a new State SUTA Electronic File Software Information (S_SUTA_SOFTWARE_INFO) database table, which stores the software developer information per state.

The following screens were updated for this enhancement:

Note: This enhancement requires PATCH3861.

Ohio’s withholding methods were revised effective September 1 to incorporate lowered income tax rates. The new tables take into consideration the income tax rate reductions that went into effect when House Bill 110 (134th General Assembly) was signed into law on July 1, 2021.

To support the updates to the Optional Computer Method, this release adds new tax table records effective 09/01/2021 on the following screens:

Software Issues Resolved


Accounting


Accounts Payable >> Manage Purchase Order Vouchers


Defect 1491322: When you entered a purchase order (PO) voucher for a subcontractor PO and you updated the exchange rates, Costpoint did not update the Invoice Extended Amt. This caused an error when you attempted to post that voucher.


Contracts


Contracts >> Manage Contracts


Defect 1370412: In Manage Contracts, you were unable to update project modifications that were set up on the Manage Modifications screen. Costpoint displayed this message: "The following field is required: Contract Mod ID."


Defect 1490557: On the Contract Teammates subtask of the Team tab, an error message displayed when you selected Prime in Prime/Subcontractor and then entered a value with trailing spaces in the ID field.


Defect 1501354: Due to a bad sender address syntax in the workflow, a system error occurred when the final step of the workflow was executed on the Manage Contracts screen (either Approve or Reject).


Contracts >> Manage Subcontracts


Defect 1368694: In Manage Subcontracts, you were unable to update project modifications that were set up on the Manage Modifications screen. Costpoint displayed this message: "The following field is required: Subcontract Mod ID."


Opportunities >> Manage Opportunities


Defect 1490560: On the Opportunity Teammates/Competitors subtask of the Team tab, an error message displayed when you selected Prime in Teammate/Competitor and then entered a value with trailing spaces in the ID field.


Materials


Material Requirements Planning >> Update Material Requirements Plan


Defect 1497459: When the Part was a Make, the Planned Order Settings/Purchase Vendor Lead Time Calculation was set to Standard Calendar, and the Production Control Settings/Lead Time Calculation was set to Shop Days, the resulting order date was incorrect. 


Production Control >> Enter Manufacturing Order Issues


Defect 1498328: You were able to issue the same serial number twice for the same transaction.


Production Control >> Manage Manufacturing Orders


Defect 1491668: When you manually added parts to the manufacturing order (MO) requirements after you changed the As of Date, the added parts were not in the requirements.

Sales Order Entry >> Manage Sales Orders Supervisor Screen


Defect 1500832: When you changed the warehouse ID, the reservation ID was not correctly reassigned in Costpoint.


People


Employee >> Import Employee Data


Defect 1466898: Costpoint did not apply the default compensation plan on imported employee records. The application should use the default compensation plan that was set up for the labor group and labor location on the Manage Compensation Plan Defaults screen.

 

As a workaround, manually enter the correct compensation plan for the employee on the Manage Employee Salary Information screen.


Defect 1470019: When you imported multiple updates that have the same effective date, Costpoint did not correctly calculate the value of the Percent of Increase field on the employee’s record.


Labor >> Create Retroactive Timesheet Adjustments


Defect 1508795: When you reprocessed timesheets with previously created adjustments, the application created retroactive timesheets with incorrect transactional amounts. It created incorrect retroactive timesheets for each instance that you reprocessed the same date range.


Labor >> Export Data to Deltek Time and Expense


Defect 1485182: When you attempted to export subcontractor groups by manager, and employee groups by supervisor/manager/home org/HR org, the export process did not include future-dated records in the data transfer to Deltek Time and Expense. This issue occurred when you selected the Changes Since Last Download check box in your export setup.

 

As a workaround, you can set up the export process to include the complete data (full download).
