Deltek Costpoint 8.0.12 Release Notes (Build 8.0.12.1003)
Welcome to the Deltek Costpoint 8.0.12 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 8.0.12, 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 all Costpoint systems selected. If a Time & Expense segment exists, the installer searches for the presence of a Time & Expense license in that Costpoint system, and lists any systems for which there is no Time & Expense license.
If a prompt displays, review the list and select the appropriate action:
Using the Apply License utility in the Costpoint DB Wizard, apply a Time & Expense license to the Costpoint system(s) in the list for which the connected Time & Expense segment is not for a stand-alone, external connection that should have a Time & Expense license applied to it.
Any stand-alone, external Time & Expense segments for which a Time & Expense license is not present, or for which the Time & Expense segment is for a Time & Expense 901 system, will not have the MR Time & Expense patches, SPs, or Data Dictionary files applied to them. These Time & Expense segments are marked as External TESS segments.
If all the systems listed are actual stand-alone, external (non-licensed) Time & Expense segments and you want them converted to external segments without applying the MR to them, click OK to proceed.
If you are unsure, please contact Deltek Costpoint Technical Support.

If the Registry value is missing, there will be no default, and you will have to select an option.
Benefits Enrollment and Life Event Improvements
Costpoint further improves the process for the benefits enrollment and life events by providing updates to Benefits and Employee Self Service applications. The enhancements include the following:
Costpoint provides the following new system benefit types to eliminate multiple benefit plans with a system benefit type of “Other”. The new benefit types reflect the benefits added by corporations. Each of the new benefit types have a corresponding tab on the Benefits Enrollment screen and Life Event/New Hires screen.
Code

Critical Illness
HSPTL
Hospital Indemnity
LTCARE

Note: If you want to transition any of your current benefit plans with a system benefit type of “Other” to one of the new system benefit types, simply select the plan on the Manage Benefit Plans screen and change the field value of “Other” to the desired value. The System Benefit Type field will be editable for only those benefit plans with a value of “Other”. Once a new system benefit type value has been selected and saved, that field will no longer be editable.
A new Manage System Benefit Plans screen allows you to view the system benefit types used in Costpoint. You can use this new screen to change the description of “Other” benefit types (OTHER2–OTHER9), and the changes you make will be reflected in the Benefits and Employee Self Service applications.
For benefits enrollment, Costpoint added validation new messages for the Confirm button on the Summary screen. In addition, the Confirm button will be always enabled during the benefits enrollment process.
On both the Benefits Enrollment screen and Life Events/New Hires screen, you can now assign beneficiaries on benefit plan tabs where beneficiaries are required. This replaces the functionality of the Beneficiaries tab on previous releases.
Manage System Benefit Types (HBMSYSBEN)
The Manage System Benefit Types screen displays the list of system benefit types used throughout Costpoint. You will not be able to add rows to this table.
The screen allows you to edit only the description of "Other" benefits, which are the system benefit type codes that begin with "OTHER" (OTHER2–OTHER9). You can also allow dependents or require beneficiaries for these system benefit plans on this screen.
Go to People > Benefits > Benefit Controls > Manage System Benefit Types to access the new screen.
Benefits Enrollment (ESMBENENROLL)
The Benefits Enrollment screen features the following updates:
Note: These changes are also implemented on the Life Events/New Hires screen.
The screen adds a tab for each new system benefit type. The tabs display according to the order number on the Manage System Benefit Types screen.
The Summary tab lists the new system benefit types.
Benefit Plan tabs which require beneficiaries now provide the following subtasks. This new functionality replaces the previous Beneficiaries tab.
Select New Beneficiaries for Benefit Plan: Use this subtask to add beneficiaries to a plan.
Benefit Plan – Current Beneficiaries: Use this subtask to view beneficiaries assigned to a plan.
Manage Benefit Plans (HBMBPSET)
You can select new system benefit types from the System Benefit Type field lookup.

Configure Self Service Settings (ESMESS)
The new system benefit types are now available on the Application Options subtask.
Local Tax Dependent Exemptions
The Manage Local Taxes screen adds a new field where you can specify the dependent exemption amount for the local tax. You can use this if you need to set up a local tax that takes into account the employee’s number of dependent exemptions.
Note: These enhancements require patch dbc_800_10642.
Manage Local Taxes (PRMLTI)
The screen provides the following new field:
Field
Description
Exemption Allowance Amounts - Dependent
Enter the dependent exemption allowance (used as a deduction from income) for an employee’s dependents. The locality exemption allowance is used in the computation of the amount of locality income tax withheld from each employee paycheck.
The label of this field is “Exempt Amt Dependent” in Table view.
For example, you can use the new field for the withholding of the Indiana County Income Tax.
To set up the local tax for Indiana:
On the Manage Local Taxes screen, you must enter 1,500 in the Exemption Allowance Amounts - Dependent field as most employees are entitled to deduct $1,500 per year per qualifying dependent exemption claimed on Line 6 of Form WH-4.
On the Manage Employee Taxes screen, you must enter the total number of dependent exemptions claimed by the employee on Line 6 of Form WH-4 in the Local - Dependents field for the Locality you have set up for Indiana county tax.
Manage Payroll Records (PRMPTF)
The local tax calculation was updated to subtract the dependent exemption amount from the annualized gross wages.
Manage Employee Earnings History (PRMERF)
The local tax calculation was updated to subtract the dependent exemption amount from the annualized gross wages.
Compute Payroll (PRPCPR)
The local tax calculation was updated to subtract the dependent exemption amount from the annualized gross wages.

Billing >> Configure Billing Settings
Defects 1466351 and 1466349: The Validate Same Invoice ID in Closed Periods/IWO Project in Reverse Previous Bills check box has been added to the Configure Billing Settings screen. If you select this check box, Costpoint enforces validation when reversing same invoices in closed periods or for inter-company work order (IWO) projects.

Billing >> Reverse Previous Bills
Defect 1411783: When you reversed bills with VAT or IWO bills that have been posted in a prior period (using the same invoice number in the reversal), nothing was created on the tax tables or IWO allocations, and the values were duplicated upon rebill. These types of bills should not have been allowed to be reversed with the same invoice number.
Part of the fix is adding a validation to the Assign new invoice ID check box. Costpoint now throws an error message if you attempt to clear this check box in any of the following instances:
The invoice being reversed was posted in an already closed period.
The project is an inter-company project for which an IWO allocation must be created.
