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.

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.
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.

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.
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:

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.
