Important Notes


These release notes address all of the modules associated with Deltek Costpoint 7.1.27, 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.

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.

To support the latest ACA requirements, this release updates the following screens:


Software Issues Resolved


Accounting


General Ledger >> Update General Ledger Beginning Balances


Defect 1575259: When you updated general ledger beginning balances for multiple companies for the same fiscal year, Costpoint successfully updated the balances for the first company but displayed an error for the succeeding company. This occurred because the temporary database tables (Z tables) generated for the first company were not deleted when the update process was completed. As a workaround, manually delete the temporary tables.


Materials


Engineering Change Notices >> Manage Engineering Change Notices


Defect 1551087: The Component Released check box was not automatically selected (upon save) on the EBOM Components subtask for Phase-Out or Obsolete parts with an Unreleased Engineering bill of materials (EBOM) status. This occurred when you copied rows (with the Component Released check box selected) from the MBOM Components subtask, pasted the data into Excel, and copied and pasted those data into the EBOM Components subtask.


Purchasing >> Import Purchase Orders


Defect 1568336: When you imported a file, the purchase order (PO) line resources were not imported when the PO Header and Line information were not included in the input file.


People


Employee Self Service >> Federal Withholding


Defect 1579622: The year indicated on the Federal Withholding tab should be changed from 2020 to 2022.


Employee Self Service >> Life Events/New Hires


Defect 1580339: The year indicated on the Federal Withholding tab should be changed from 2020 to 2022.


Labor >> Export Data to Deltek Time and Expense


Defect 1579602: The leave balance in Deltek Time and Expense was not always correct when an employee had an adjustment and an accrual in the same leave period. This issue occurred when the adjustment and accrual were exported to Deltek Time and Expense in two different batch cycles.


Labor >> Import Timesheets from Deltek Time and Expense


Defect 1574858: The application updated the Auto-Adjusted (AUTO_ADJ_FL) check box of union employees that were covered in timesheet dates entered on the screen.


Leave >> Close Leave Year


Defect 1575889: The application did not process records that had a NULL value in the LV_TYPE_TRNSFR_FL column in the EMPL_LV_BAL table.

Planning


Administration >> Post Install Setup


Defect 1568574: In Maintain Account Mapping, the NEXT button was not visible while in default view.


Project Budgeting >> Import Budget/EACs from Excel


Defect 1520143: During routine checks, the contract end dates were considered when inserting records instead of the budget end dates.


Project Budgeting >> Project Budgets/EACs Status (APS1,APS3)


Defect 1574736: The TID column in the dynamic tables required a length of 80 characters.


Projects


Billing >> Calculate Standard Bills


Defect 1549803: When you used the same pool number across multiple fiscal years but the pool name was different, Costpoint did not summarize the burden amounts on the same invoice line.

To help fix the issue, a new check box, Summarize Pools by Pool ID, has been added to the Configure Billing Settings screen. If you select this check box, Costpoint will print pools by pool ID on the invoices (amounts will be summarized by pool ID across multiple fiscal years). If you do not select this check box, pools will be printed by pool ID and also by fiscal year on the invoices (amounts will be on different invoice lines per fiscal year and pool ID).

This affects the following applications:

Billing >> Print Standard Bills


Defect 1561233: WIC: The application was not printing all bills when using Billing Cycles and printing the report in HTML. Only 1 of the 3 invoices was printed to HTML via WIC.


Time & Expense


Configuration >> Master Data Import History


Defect 1571759: Error messages did not display during per diem schedule import, instead appearing after completion of the import process, when the total M&IE populated the error log table.


Time >> Change Timesheet Status


Defect 1572326: The application displayed periods that included timesheets that were no longer open or had no timesheet lines to process.


Time >> Generate Timesheets


Defect 1571614: The scheduled job could not be completed because the Execute function on the Manage Jobs screen was disabled.


Time >> Mass Correct Timesheets


Defect 1570327: When UDT 02, 06, and 07 codes were identical for multiple Costpoint companies, Time & Expense flagged these UDTs as invalid.


Defect 1570328: When you selected multiple rows, but not all, from a result set for Mass Correct processing/printing, rows you had not selected were also included in the report.
