People

Validations for Labor Locations, GLCs, Workers’ Compensation Codes, and Pay Types Used in Time and Expense

Multiple screens in Costpoint now provide new validations that prevent you from deleting the following codes if they are being used in Deltek Time and Expense transactions:

This new functionality applies you if you use a system where Costpoint is co-deployed with Deltek Time and Expense.

 

Manage Labor Locations/Locals (LDMLLOC)

The screen now restricts the deletion of a labor location if:

An error displays if you attempt to delete a labor location that also exists in any of the following tables:

If the labor location is not found in any of the preceding tables but is found in the CHARGE_BRANCH_CHARGE (DFLT_UDT03_ID) table, the screen displays a warning message. If you continue with the labor location deletion, the system will also delete the CHARGE_BRANCH_CHARGE records that include the selected labor location.

 

Manage General Labor Categories (LDMGLC)

The screen now restricts the deletion of a GLC if:

An error displays if you attempt to delete a GLC that also exists in any of the following tables:

If the GLC is not found in any of the preceding tables but is found in the CHARGE_BRANCH_CHARGE (DFLT_UDT06_ID) table, the screen displays a warning message. If you continue with the GLC deletion, the system will also delete the CHARGE_BRANCH_CHARGE records that include the selected GLC.

 

Manage Workers’ Compensation Codes (LDMWC)

The screen now restricts the deletion of a Workers’ Compensation Code if:

An error displays if you attempt to delete a Workers’ Compensation Code that also exists in any of the following Deltek Time and Expense tables:

If the Workers’ Compensation Code is not found in any of the preceding tables but is found in the CHARGE_BRANCH_CHARGE (DFLT_UDT08_ID) table, the screen displays a warning message. If you continue with the code deletion, the system will also delete the CHARGE_BRANCH_CHARGE records that include the selected Workers’ Compensation Code.

 

Manage Pay Types (LDMPAYTP)

The screen now restricts the deletion of a pay type if:

An error displays when you attempt to delete a pay type that also exists in any of the following tables:

If the pay type is not found in any of the preceding tables but is found in the CHARGE_BRANCH_CHARGE (DFLT_UDT10_ID) table, the screen displays a warning. If you continue with the pay type deletion, the system will also delete the CHARGE_BRANCH_CHARGE records that include the selected pay type.

Updated Certified Payroll to Report Corrections

The Federal Certified Payroll Report in Costpoint added the ability to report corrections from past pay periods.

 

Compute Payroll (PRPCPR)

Prior to this version, the Compute Payroll application only allowed you to compute payroll for the timesheets within the open pay period. You can now use the following new field on the screen to enter an earlier starting date for processing:

Field

Description

Starting Timesheet Date

Enter, or click Calendar Lookup, to select an earlier starting date for timesheet selection.

Use this field to include corrections from past pay periods. This is necessary for complete certified payroll reporting, which must report hours worked on a particular day.

Time & Expense

Pre-Upgrade (8.1) Diagnostics Toolkit

A Time & Expense » Configuration » Utilities » CP/TE Diagnostics Toolkit utility was added to version 8.1.1 that enables System Administrators to identify and address potential data discrepancies after upgrading to version 8.1.

 

In version 8.1, Time & Expense installations that are co-deployed with Costpoint will read directly from the Costpoint tables for UDTs (01-11) across all domains, and therefore, unresolved data discrepancies, such as when a UDT exists in one system but not in the other, may result in system errors in version 8.1.

 

The utility includes 19 separate diagnostics, and where issues are identified, it can automatically resolve the discrepancy by setting the value in one system to that of the other, or in some cases, you may be required to manually update the data, such as adding or deleting a UDT.

 

After you upgrade, the Costpoint values, such as for UDTs, become the default value, and the older values from Time & Expense are moved to archive tables.

 

Warning: Depending on the issue, failure to correct the data may cause errors due to records no longer being available after you upgrade to version 8.1.

 

For each item you select under Type, the CP/TE Diagnostics Toolkit displays instructions specific to that diagnostic. The first time you use the application, you must Initialize to populate the Type drop-down list.

Following the installation of version 8.1.1, do the following to run the Toolkit:

  1. Click Time & Expense » Configuration » Utilities » CP/TE Diagnostics Toolkit.

  2. On the Toolkit screen, click the Intialize button.

This process compares the Costpoint and Time & Expense data to identify discrepancies between them. After the initialization process is completed, the Type drop-down list populates with different diagnostics where discrepancies were found. Up to 19 separate types may display.

  1. From the Type drop-down list, select the diagnostic you want to review and click Show Results.

The Results table is populated with the data discrepancies uncovered by the diagnostic. Optionally, you can click Record Counts to display record results for all the separate diagnostics.

  1. Depending on the type of diagnostic you selected, one of the following options may display below the Results table:

If no options display, corrections must be made manually in the appropriate area of Time & Expense or Costpoint.

 

The table below provides a brief description of each diagnostic that may display under Type. Refer to the on-screen instructions in the CP/TE Diagnostics Toolkit application for details on how to correct the data for each one that occurs in your system.

Software Issues Resolved


Accounting

Defect 1521133: You encountered an error when you set the voucher Status to PAY.


Accounts Payable >> Manage Vendor History


Defect 1512929: The value of the Rate Group field on the Exchange Rates subtask reverted to the default value when you updated exchange rates first, entered values in the main fields, and then saved the record.


Accounts Payable >> View Vendor History Inquiry


Defect 1494882: This screen has been updated to display the Cost Amt in the Amount Paid field for vouchers that were paid through manual checks.


Accounts Receivable >> Manage Cash Receipts


Defect 1497473: Costpoint displayed incorrect amounts on the View Receivables and Collections screen and in the Accounts Receivable History report when you did the following:

Fixed Assets >> Manage Asset Master Information


Defect 1492981: This screen was updated to change the action lock setting of the Import Data button of the Template Import Parameters subtask to None.


General Ledger >> Create Revaluation Entry


Defect 1510186: Costpoint allowed you to create a revaluation entry even if there were no multicurrency accounts configured for your functional currency. This caused the debit and credit amounts to be out of balance on the Manage Journal Entries screen.


General Ledger >> Import Journal Entries


Defect 1500401: When you imported journal entries, Costpoint was unable to retrieve period exchange rates when daily exchange rates were unavailable. This occurred even when the Use Period Rate check box was selected in the Exchange Rate Method group box of the Configure Multicurrency Settings screen.


General Ledger >> Manage Journal Entries


Defect 1528719: This screen has been updated to disable the recalculation of exchange rates for journal entries created through the Process Organization Changes screen.


General Ledger >> Post Journal Entries


Defect 1508972: When you clicked Print, the Journal Entries Journal displayed no labor transaction records even when the journal entry you posted contains vendor labor lines. This happened when only the Labor check box was selected in the Print Journal For group box of the Configure General Ledger Settings screen.

As a workaround, click Print/Post instead of Print.


General Ledger >> Update Tax Report Tables


Defect 1521675: When you ran the update process, tax from standard bills were not included in the Tax Report Header and Tax Report Line tables.


Admin


System Administration >> Configure User Preferences


Defect 1327998: The "Duplicate Group Names cannot be assigned" error message was shown twice when you added a duplicate group name in the Configure User Preferences (UPMUSRPR) application.


Workflow >> Approval Workflow Messages


Defect 1502412: Workflow completion and rejection emails were sent from the default message ID instead of the message ID assigned to the Workflow.


Workflow >> Approval Workflow Models


Defect 1519853: You could delete an approval workflow model that still had approval cases in progress.


Defect 1526979: When you imported an approval workflow model with the New Revision option selected on the Import/Export Approval Workflow Model subtask in the Approval Workflow Models (WFMAPPRL) application, the revision number did not increase.


CRM & Contracts


Activities >> Manage Activities


Defect 1485846: A "No matching value" error message displayed when you tried to save a record even if there is valid data in the Resource ID or Task Owner ID field. This defect occurs when the Allow Offline Access check box is selected on the Configure System Settings screen. The issue also exists when you copy values on the Resources and Tasks subtasks and then update these values.

 

As a workaround, you can update the value in the Business ID and Resources ID fields on the Resources subtask, or the Business ID and Task Owner ID fields on the Tasks subtask.


Defect 1501149: Costpoint did not automatically capitalize the IDs you manually entered in the following fields, which resulted in an error when you tried to save the record:

As a workaround, you can use lookup to select the desired IDs, or use the suggested values as you enter IDs in these fields.


Contract Management Controls >> Manage FAR Library


Defect 1520956: When importing a FAR/Supplemental Regulation .csv file, an error occurred due to the title (FAR_TITLE or DFAR_TITLE) having special characters and the description (FAR_DESC or DFAR_DESC) exceeding 4,000 characters.

As a workaround, remove special characters from the title and shorten the description to 4,000 characters before importing the file.

This issue also affected the following applications:

Manage Subcontracts

1521000


Contract Management Controls >> Manage Opportunity Stages


Defect 1506087: An error occurred when you used a stage code with a space on the GovWin IQ Mapped Stages subtask.

 

As a workaround, use a stage code without a space when mapping it on that subtask.


Defect 1506161: Costpoint did not allow you to delete a stage code that has records on the GovWin IQ Mapped Stages subtask.

 

As a workaround, you can manually delete the records on the subtask before deleting the main stage code record.


Contracts >> Manage Contracts


Defect 1502454: Due to a bad sender address syntax in the workflow, a system error occurred when the final step of the workflow was executed on the Manage Contracts screen (either Approve or Reject).


Contracts >> Manage Subcontracts


Defect 1507314: Purchase order (PO) lines can have a period of performance (POP) that is different from that of the subcontract. Multiple POs linked to a single subcontract record can also have different POPs.

 

Previously, POP fields on the Manage Purchase Orders and Manage Purchase Requisitions screens were read-only and displayed POP dates from Manage Subcontracts by default. Now, those fields will still default from Manage Subcontracts for new PO/PR records, but you will be able to edit them.

In PO/PR records, if the POP start or end date is outside the subcontract's start or end POP range, Costpoint displays a warning message. If you change the subcontract ID linked to the PO/PR record, Costpoint refreshes the POP information in the PO/PR record.


Opportunities >> Manage Opportunities


Defect 1498338: GovWin IQ has changed the way it captures Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) information. Instead of using CMMC levels 1-5, it now has a CMMC Requirements field that allows up to 400 characters.

 

In line with this change, the CMMC Level drop-down list on the Status tab of Manage Opportunities has been replaced with the CMMC Requirements field, which also allows up to 400 characters. For manually created opportunity records, you can enter here CMMC information related to the opportunity. For opportunity records imported from GovWin IQ, this field displays information from GovWin IQ, but you can still edit it.

 

Any previous information you had on the CMMC Level drop-down list will be migrated to the new field when you install the Costpoint 8.1.1 MR.


Defect 1529375: When you used web services to create an opportunity, the opportunity was created but no value was saved in the ORG_ID column in the OPP_MASTER table. This occurred when there was more than one entry in the BUSINESS_UNIT_ORG table for the same business unit code.


Framework


External Tools >> CONFIG


Defect 1494850: The Configuration Utility did not validate characters in database names and database usernames for databases used for Costpoint.

The system should have implemented the following validations, which were already being enforced by the Application and Database Tier installers:


Defect 1500399: The Integration Owner value on the Cobra tab was overwritten when you saved changes in the Configuration Utility. As a workaround, you can manually set the Integration Owner value in enterprise.properties.


External Tools >> XTDESIGNER


Defect 1490018: The formula checker in Extensibility Designer did not work when you tested conditional execution formulas for result set (RS) extensibility plug-ins.


Framework

Defect 1501008: On mobile devices, the calendar was retained after switching the Query from Landscape to Portrait view.


Defect 1501013: Options that you selected in a drop-down list were highlighted twice in Costpoint on smartphones and tablets. The option chosen last was what the system honored. 


Defect 1502976: The History of Approval for workflow approvals did not display in full screen on a tablet. As a workaround, you can set the Smartphone mode to Y.


Defect 1503900: Different paths that were generated for workflow cookies caused an issue when you opened a Requisition from an email approval link.


Defect 1505037: The email icon was still visible even if you already cleared the email address with an incorrect format entered in the Email field.


Defect 1505691: Copied values were cleared when you saved the record on mobile devices. As a workaround, you can select the record in Form view and click New » Copy Record.
