Deltek Costpoint 7.1.4.1 Release Notes (Build 7.1.4.1013)

Welcome to the Deltek Costpoint 7.1.4.1 Release Notes, which describe the new features and enhancements introduced in this release.

Important Notes

These release notes address all of the modules associated with Deltek Costpoint 7.1.4.1, 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.

Software Issues Resolved

People

Labor >> Export Data To Deltek Time and Expense

Defect 1285062: The application exported the project code from Costpoint as an active charge tree record even if you set None as the Export Project classification on the Manage Project User Flow screen. In this scenario, the application should only generate a deletion record.

Payroll >> Create Quarterly SUTA Tax File

Defect 1294463: Effective January 1, 2020, Pennsylvania requires monthly employee count fields in the Total Tax Record (Record T) for both original and amended ICESA files. To comply with state requirements, the Create Quarterly SUTA Tax File (PRPSMM) screen now provides the following information in Record T of the Pennsylvania SUTA electronic file. The employee count will be provided in the following Record T positions regardless if the Report Type in Record A position 141-153 is "Original" or "Amended.”
