Affordable Care Act Updates
This Costpoint release provides the following ACA - 1095-C updates:
Code 1A will only be assigned to employees on Line 14 of form 1095-C if the Qualifying Offer Method checkbox is selected on the Create 1094-C and 1095-C Data screen.
An employee’s employment history is used to determine the Line 14 and Line 16 codes on form 1095-C. Because some clients track employment using the Affirmative Action Effective Date is Hire Date and Effective Date is Term Date checkboxes on the Manage Employee Salary Information screen, we added the ability to use those checkboxes when determining an employee’s employment history.
An employee will now be eligible to receive a form 1095-C if they were offered and elected coverage in the year prior to their hire date. If an employee’s hire date is in the following year but elected self-insured coverage for one or more months of the calendar year being analyzed, code 1G would be entered on Line 14.
An employee will now be eligible to receive a form 1095-C if they were offered and elected coverage in the year following their termination date. If an employee was terminated in the prior year but elected self-insured coverage for one or more months of the calendar year, code 1G would be entered on Line 14.
The priority order for the Form 1095-C Line 14 codes will be updated.
Code 1E will take priority over code 1K
1E. Minimum essential coverage providing minimum value offered to employee and at least minimum essential coverage offered to dependent(s) and spouse. Do not use code 1E if the coverage for the spouse was offered conditionally. Instead, use code 1K.
1K. Minimum essential coverage providing minimum value offered to employee; at least minimum essential coverage offered to dependents; and at least minimum essential coverage conditionally offered to spouse. (See Conditional offer of spousal coverage, earlier, for an additional description of conditional offers.)
Code 1C and 1D will take priority over code 1K
1C. Minimum essential coverage providing minimum value offered to employee and at least minimum essential coverage offered to dependent(s) (not spouse).
1D. Minimum essential coverage providing minimum value offered to employee and at least minimum essential coverage offered to spouse (not dependent(s)). Do not use code 1D if the coverage for the spouse was offered conditionally. Instead, use code 1J.
The priority order for the Form 1095-C Line 16 codes will be updated. 2D must be done before 2B and after all other codes. According to the IRS instructions, if an employee is in an initial measurement period, enter code 2D (employee in a section 4980H(b) Limited Non-Assessment Period) for the month, and not 2B (employee not a full-time employee).
This release also applies minor alignment adjustments that are necessary to accommodate the 2022 ACA Form 1094-C and 1095-C.
Create 1094-C and 1095-C Data (HBP109XC)
The Create 1094-C and 1095-C Data screen provides the following new options:

Manage Employee Salary Information: Though it is not a common setup, some employers use the Affirmative Action Effective Date is Hire Date and Effective Date is Term Date settings on the HR Information tab of the Manage Employee Salary Information screen to track employment history.

Separate Fields for Max Regular Hours and Estimated Hours on the Manage Leave Periods Screen
Prior to this release, the existing Max Regular Hours field on the Manage Leave Periods screen was used for two separate purposes:
The Compute Leave Accruals application used the maximum regular hours when calculating leave accruals based on an H-Hours Worked compute method.
The Manage Employee Leave screen used the field to determine the estimated leave.
The existing functionality of the field caused an issue when you entered a large number in the Max Regular Hours field. You usually enter a large Max Regular Hours value to set no limitations on the number of hours used to calculate accruals that are based on hours worked. The large number in the Max Regular Hours field causes a system error when you queried Employee Leave Balance (EMPL_LV_BAL) records.
To address this issue, the Manage Leave Periods screen now provides a Maximum Regular Hours for the calculation of leave accruals and a separate Estimated Hours field for the Manage Employee Leave and leave report applications.
Manage Leave Periods (LDMLVPD)
The Manage Leave Periods screen now allows you to use separate fields for entering the maximum number of regular hours and the estimated accrual hours.
Field
Description
Max Regular Hours
Enter the maximum number of hours that can be used to determine the maximum number of regular (non-overtime) hours that can be used in a leave period to compute a leave code that is based on an H-Hours Worked computation method. Costpoint determines the accrued leave amount by multiplying the leave accrual rate (on the Manage Leave Codes screen) by the timesheet regular hours or the value in this field, whichever is less.
Enter 999,999,999,999.99 if there is no limit on the number of regular work hours that can be used to calculate the leave accrual when the Compute Method is H-Hours Worked.
Estimated Hours
Enter the number of hours that will be used to determine an employee's estimated accrual hours on the Manage Employee Leave and employee leave applications. This value will be used only for leave codes with a Compute Method of H-Hours Worked or U-Unit of Hours Worked.
If the employee's leave accrual is based on H-Hours Worked, the estimated accrual will be calculated by multiplying the estimated hours by the leave code's accrual rate.
If the employee's leave accrual is based on U-Unit of Hours Worked, the estimated accrual will be calculated as follows:
Initial Number of Units = Estimated Hours / Unit of Hours
Number of Units = Round the Initial Number of Units down to the nearest whole number
Estimated Accrual = Number of Units x Accrual Rate
Manage Employee Leave (LDMELV)
The estimated leave accrual calculation was updated for cases when the Compute Method is U-Unit of Hours Worked. Instead of simply dividing the estimated hours by the unit of hours, the application rounds the number of units down to the nearest whole number.
The application continues to use the leave cycle’s estimated hours to determine the estimated leave accrual.
Compute Leave Accruals (LDPCLHF)
The application now uses the new MAX_REG_HRS column, instead of the STD_LV_PD_HRS column, on the LV_PD table when calculating leave based on a Compute Method of H-Hours Worked.
Print Employee Leave Report (LDRELV)
If the leave code’s Compute Method is H-Hours Worked or U-Unit of Hours Worked, the application uses the STD_LV_PD_HRS column on the LV_PD table to determine the estimated hours.
This release also updates the layout of the screen.
New Option to Display or Hide Leave Codes in the Timesheet Leave Request Form
An Allow Request Leave checkbox was added to the Leave subtask of the Timesheet Classes application. This setting is selected by default.
When this checkbox is selected, the leave code will display in the Leave Type drop-down list of the New Leave form in the timesheet.
Clear the checkbox if you do not want the leave code to display when the user enters planned leave or submits a leave request from the timesheet.
This enhancement is related to a Timesheet improvement initiative described in KB Article 109655.

Defect 1882646: The 32% federal income tax bracket for Married, Step 2 Unchecked, was 379,099.99 instead of 378,999.99. This affects all Costpoint Payroll users, including those with employees in Guam and Virgin Islands.
As a workaround for this issue, you can manually enter/update the record on the Manage Federal Taxes screen. The record for Married, Step 2 Unchecked, effective 01/01/2023, should be:
Effective Date: 01/01/2023
Filing Status: Married (S_FED_FIL_STAT_CD = M)
Step 2 of W-4: Unchecked

Payroll >> Manage State Tax Tables
Defect 1882665: The tax tables for the following counties had the corresponding issues:
Frederick County: The second row was missing in each tax table. If a married employee has an annual taxable income of over 100,000, then the tax is calculated as the amount over 100,000 times 7.75 percent. The initial 100,000 is not taxed at all because the base tax amount is missing.
Anne Arundel County: The second row was missing in each tax table. To address this, the tables have been revised (recalculated) so that the lower income tax rate of 2.70% (using 2.75% tables) will be used on the first $50,000 of taxable income for every taxpayer. The base tax has been recalculated starting from the second row.
As a workaround for these issues, you can manually enter/update the records for Anne Arundel County and Frederick County on the Manage State Tax Tables screen:

Payroll >> Update Employee Package Deductions
Defect 1871048: If the benefit plan’s Coverage Calculation Method was Coverage Table, and the Coverage Table was Age, the application calculated contributions using the Coverage Limit on the Manage Benefit Plans screen. Instead, the application should use the limit on the Manage Coverage Amounts by Age screen.

Billing >> Calculate Standard Bills
Defect 1740295: When you calculated a bill, sales tax records were pulled into the BILLING_EDIT_DETL table with a transaction type C (cost) instead of type T (sales tax). When you posted the bill, the BILLING_SUM table was updated with the correct transaction type, but the BILLING_DETL_HIST table was updated with a C for S_TRN_TYPE.
Defect 1842448: For records using the RSBFNLBF (Loaded Labor Rate w/Burden w/Fee plus Non-labor w/Burden w/Fee) formula, fee on burden, discount, retainage, and withholding amounts were not correctly calculated when the Use Transactional Currency Billing checkbox was selected on the Manage Project Billing Information screen.
Defect 1851094: MU_RTNGE_AMT in the billing tables was incorrect in multiple periods where RPT_ONLY_FL was N, different exchange rates were used per period, and the Use Transactional Currency Billing checkbox was selected on the Manage Project Billing Information screen. This issue occurred for the following formulas:

As a workaround, you can continue clicking OK until the error disappears.
Billing >> Manage Project Billing Information
Defect 1813544: A fatal system error occurred in Print Standard Bills when detail-level records were deleted from the Manage Project Billing Information screen after calculating bills.
Manage Project Billing Information has been updated to resolve this issue:
If dependent data exists in Manage Standard Bills, you will not be allowed to delete detail-level records. Manage Project Billing Information will display the following message: "This record cannot be deleted because dependent data exists."
If no dependent data exists in Manage Standard Bills and you have a posted bill against the project, Manage Project Billing Information will display the following message, but you will still be able to delete the record: "Deleting this record may cause issues when printing previously posted invoices."
Billing >> Print Standard Bills
Defect 1768859: A fatal system error occurred on this screen when detail-level records were deleted from the Manage Project Billing Information screen after calculating bills.
Billing >> Reverse Previous Bills
Defect 1858784: Reversing invoices with sales tax resulted in an out-of-balance posting.
Cost and Revenue Processing >> Post Revenue
Defect 1857731: Performance tuning has been conducted for this application to improve execution time, particularly for systems running on Oracle databases.
Defect 1859688: An incorrect error message displayed on posting when accounts and organizations were not linked, there was an incorrect account/organization combination, or the account/organization combination was blank.
This defect occurred when there were inactive account/organization combinations in the records selected for posting. As a workaround, activate all revenue account/organization combinations for the project(s) to post.
Cost and Revenue Processing >> Rebuild Labor History
Defect 1750537: Costpoint deleted the IWO labor record from the LAB_HS table when the project has labor distribution and IWO labor with unbalanced data.
As a workaround, you can manually add the deleted IWO labor record on the Manage Project Labor History screen.
Cost and Revenue Processing >> Redistribute Revenue
Defect 1866101: You encountered a SQL error of "No Rows Affected" when you ran this application for ITD Fee on Cost (ITDCPFC) projects.
Inter-Company Work Orders >> Create IWO Allocations
Defect 1869703: Costpoint did not create an IWO allocation when there was a sales tax amount in the project(s) selected in Create IWO Allocations. The sales tax amount cannot be mapped since the transaction type has been changed to T in the BILLING_DETL_HIST table.
Project Setup >> Manage Project User Flow
Defect 1716004: When you initially set a project as inactive, Costpoint inserted the inactive date into the Projects table. After you reset the project as active, however, the inactive date was not updated.
This defect affects Time & Expense projects in co-deployed Costpoint systems.
Defect 1760124: When you cleared the Allow Edit checkbox for the Project Manager field in a level 2 project and the projects below it, changed the Project Manager value in level 2, and then saved the record, Costpoint did not cascade the new Project Manager value to the lower project levels.
Defect 1820357: On the User-Defined Info subtask, the Text Value field displayed as blank when the number of characters entered exceeded 30. The backend table, however, can hold up to 50 characters for this field.

Subcontractor Management >> Manage Open Subcontractor Detail
Defect 1850535: You were able to delete a subcontractor timesheet line on the Manage Open Subcontract Detail screen even if a subcontract invoice already exists in Manage Subcontractor Invoices for this timesheet record. When you tried to delete the timesheet record in Manage Subcontractor Invoices, you received an error message.
Validations have been added to Manage Open Subcontract Detail to prevent users from deleting a timesheet line that has already been invoiced.
Subcontractor Management >> Manage Work Assignments
Defect 1762771: You were unable to edit labor rates for unposted invoices.
To address this issue, this application has been modified to implement the following logic when modifying vendor employee rates:
Three- or two-way match items should allow individual vendor employee rates to be changed if the specific vendor employee has not been included in an invoice (either posted or unposted).
Three- or two-way match items should not allow vendor employee rates to be changed if the vendor employee has been included in an invoice for that line item (either posted or unposted).
All new vendor employees added to a PO line item should allow rate changes, as they have not yet been included in an invoice (either posted or unposted).
If a vendor employee was included in an invoice but the invoice was deleted, and that was the only invoice the vendor employee was included, the rate can still be modified.
Business Intelligence >> Business Intelligence
Defect 1816676: The data on the PO Payment and Remaining Balance Report did not match the data on the View Purchase Order Status screen in Costpoint Materials.
Defect 1850185: You could not retrieve values from the data set on the Org Mgr Planning Performance Analytics and Resource Mgmt dashboards.

CER__EMPLOYEE_SECURE
As a workaround, you should be assigned to the CER__ALL or the CER__PROJ_SECURE security group.
Defect 1853742: All drill-through on the PO Payment and Remaining Balance Report had broken links.
Defect 1856868: The prompt page of the Labor Utilization report displayed the code for Part-Time Employees as R instead of P.
