Deltek Costpoint 8.0.24 Release Notes (Build 8.0.24.5000)
Welcome to the Deltek Costpoint 8.0.24 Release Notes, which describe the new features, enhancements, and software corrections introduced in this release.
These release notes address all of the modules associated with Deltek Costpoint 8.0.24, 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.
Idaho 2022 Tax Table Update
Idaho’s 2022 withholding methods were released by the state tax commission. The percentage method implements tax rate cuts in a bill (H.B. 436). The bill reduced the number of tax rates used to four instead of five and reduces the highest rate used to 6%, instead of 6.5%. Other updates include the following:
The zero-percent tax bracket’s upper threshold increased from $12,550 to $12,950 for single employees and heads of households and from $25,100 to $25,900 for married employees.
The value of Idaho Child Tax Credit Allowance increased from $3,154 to $3,417 annually.
The tax rate for supplemental payments decreased from 6.5% to 6%.
To support the state requirements, this release applies changes to the following screens:
Manage State Tax Tables
Manage State Standard Deductions
Manage State Taxes
Manage State Tax Withholding Adjustments

Run the Analyze Full-Time Equivalent Eligibility process with the Include Part-Time Employees check box selected.
On the Manage Full-Time Equivalent Eligibility screen, query the part-time employees, select the following options, and save the record.

Defect 1692912: When you printed an Expense Authorization report, the UDT09 description displayed instead of the code.
