Deltek Costpoint 7.1.5.3 Release Notes (Build 7.1.5.1013)
Welcome to the Deltek Costpoint 7.1.5.3 Release Notes, which describe the new features and enhancements introduced in this release.
These release notes address all of the modules associated with Deltek Costpoint 7.1.5.3, 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.
Framework
Defect 1295113: A critical system error occurred when you performed any content management integration (CMI) operation with SharePoint in Office 365 Government Community Cloud High (GCC High).
MR Installer
Defect 1300209: Metadata will now only be applied once per shared CPSYSTEM, instead of re-applying for each System. Also, a potential issue with MR hotfixes 1009 and 1011 not applying some of the metadata has been resolved.
Employee >> Manage Employee Information
Defect 1294796: When you entered a new record and then pressed the TAB key to move out of the Employee field, a critical system error (NullPointerException) displayed. This issue occurred when the Costpoint Payroll license is off.
The issue was caused by the fix for Bug 1031402, which was included in MR 7.1.5.
Labor >> Export Data To Deltek Time and Expense
Defect 1294474: 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 1291603: 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.”

Administration >> Refresh Process
Defect 1291208: Duplicate records were displayed on the Report Project Details table.
Organization Budgeting >> Compute Forward Rates (AOI1)
Defect 1291209: When you used Compute Forward Rates, the system did not create credit allocations.
Billing >> Calculate Standard Bills
Defect 1289070: When the transaction and billing currencies were different from the functional currency, Costpoint used the USD currency for the burden calculation and used the invoice date to convert the burden cost to the billing currency.
Defect 1290067: When a project has records in the Z_BLPUBILL_RPT table but no longer has data in Manage Open Billing Detail, Costpoint now removes those records from the Z table. This is to avoid encountering an error when calculating bills.
