Deltek Costpoint 8.1.22 Release Notes (Build 8.1.22.5012)
Welcome to the Deltek Costpoint 8.1.22 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 8.1.22, 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.
Costpoint Business Intelligence 8.1.18+ and Cognos Analytics with Watson
Costpoint BI 8.1.18+ is only compatible with Cognos Analytics with Watson 11.2.4. If you are leveraging Cognos Analytics 11.1.7, the highest version of Costpoint BI MR that you can apply is Costpoint BI 8.1.17. Note that you can continue to apply the Costpoint MRs beyond 8.1.17 regardless of which Cognos version you are deploying. Costpoint and Costpoint BI MRs are independent of each other.
Idaho 2023 Supplemental Tax
The tax rate for supplemental payments decreased from 6% to 5.8%.
To support the state requirements, this release updates the record of Idaho effective 01/01/2023 on the Manage State Taxes screen.

North Dakota 2023 Tax Table Updates
North Dakota released an updated version of income tax withholding rates and instructions for wages paid in 2023.
The bottom tax bracket tax rate is now 0%.
The top four brackets are now combined into two brackets with reduced tax rates for taxable years beginning after 2022.
The annual allowance value used in the percentage method for Forms W-4 before 2020 was unchanged from 2022.
To support the state requirements, this release updates the tax tables of North Dakota effective 01/01/2023 on the Manage State Tax Tables screen.
Note: This update requires patch dbc_810_11159.
Support for Multiple SAML Providers
You can now add multiple SAML providers to Costpoint in the Product Configuration Utility. This security enhancement is helpful when you have multiple SAML providers for different user bases, such as post-acquisition or third-party solutions support.
Use the new SAML Provider ID option in the Manage Users application to assign a SAML IdP to a user. The IdPs available in Lookup are based on the SAML IdPs set up in the Product Configuration Utility. This option is enabled only for SAML-type authentication methods.
Delete Timesheets from TS_HDR table after Closing a Fiscal Period for Payroll Users
If you have an existing Costpoint Payroll license and you close accounting periods on the Close Periods screen, the application deletes all timesheets that have been posted to Labor and Payroll. If you have a Payroll license but you do not post timesheets to Payroll, the Close Periods application does not delete the timesheets for the selected fiscal year/period/subperiod.
To address this issue, Costpoint now provides Payroll users with the ability to delete TS_HDR and TS_LN records by timesheet cycle and fiscal year/period/subperiod without requiring that you post timesheets to Payroll. Use the new toolkit to delete all timesheets that have been posted to the General Ledger but have not been deleted by the Close Periods application. This process does not delete historical data; this process only deletes current timesheets. Access the new toolkit in People » Labor » Administrative Utilities » Purge Timesheets Not Cleared by Close Accounting Period.
Direct Charge Employer Contributions and Union Fringes
Prior to this release, Costpoint used only the Direct Charge Union Fringe/Employer Contribution checkbox on the Configure Payroll Settings screen to control direct charging for both non-union contributions and union fringes. This release separates controls so that you can opt to direct charge contributions separately from direct charging union fringes. The option to direct charge union fringes is now available on the Configure Labor Settings screen. The option to direct charge non-union contributions is now available on the Configure Payroll Settings screens.
This release also provides the following features:
Ability to specify how timesheet lines will be selected for union fringe processing

Updated union fringe calculations and logic

Defect 1944553: The application required several updates.
In the Add Pay Periods group box:
When you add pay periods using Add Pay Periods, the application populates the Payroll Year field in the Pay Periods record with the calculated check date's year. For example, if the calculated Check Date is 12/31/2023, the Payroll Year would be 2023. If the calculated Check Date is 01/01/2024, the Payroll Year would be 2024.
If you click Add Pay Periods and as a result check dates fall within a different payroll year than the Payroll Year specified in the header section, the following informational message displays: "These calculated check dates do not fall within the specified payroll year, so the check date year will be used: <List the check date(s)>."
On the Pay Periods subtask:
If the Payroll Year field is already populated with a year that is not equal to the Check Date year, the application updates the Payroll Year to match the check date year and the following informational message displays: "The Payroll Year for this period has been updated to match the check date year (<check date year>)."
If there is at least one pay period without a check date in the open payroll year, the following message displays after you click Save or Save/Continue: "Check dates must be assigned to all pay periods in the open payroll year (<open payroll year>)."
If the Check Date year field is cleared, enable (but do not clear) the Payroll Year field.

Billing >> Calculate Standard Bills
Defect 1907515: This issue affects MSS database users only. Costpoint calculates a negative amount for direct cost when a direct cost ceiling exists. As a workaround, you can manually edit the bill.
Defect 1909678: Discounts with burdens caused incorrect calculations of sales tax, retainage, withholding, and fee amounts. As a workaround, you can manually adjust the amounts.
Defect 1927707: When direct cost ceilings were reached on multicurrency bills with the Use Transactional Currency Billing option enabled (on the Manage Project Billing Information screen), the header record did not include the discount for the account that hit the ceiling. This issue occurred for all discount types.
