Important Notes


These release notes address all of the modules associated with Deltek Costpoint 8.1.5, 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.

Enhancements


Installation

MR Installer

The MR installer includes the latest version of the jose4j.jar file (jose4j-0.7.9.jar).

Starting with the Costpoint 8.1 GA release, MR installers will include an option to temporarily stop the execution during installation and allow you to edit one or more database patch scripts before execution on your database. This feature is handy if you use Oracle partitioned tables or need to add storage clauses to database scripts. This feature eliminates the need to execute database scripts post MR installation to place objects in the correct Oracle tablespace or to recreate partitioned indexes. Therefore, it reduces the length of the maintenance window and application downtime during production upgrades.

The District of Columbia enacted legislation that requires all District residents to have minimal essential health care coverage, or have a coverage exemption or pay a tax penalty for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2019. The requirements in the Individual Taxpayer Health Insurance Responsibility Requirement Amendment Act of 2018, effective October 30, 2018 (D.C.

Official Code § 47-5105 as well as other information required by Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR).

Projects

Application Optimization

The following applications have been enhanced to process more efficiently and decrease their runtime during simultaneous or batch processing. Deltek recommends that you install the Costpoint 8.1.5 MR in a test environment and test the applications before deploying the MR to production.


Reports & Analytics

Business Intelligence

Costpoint BI Audit Reports Now Available to Cloud Customers

The Costpoint Business Intelligence (BI) Audit reports include data on Costpoint BI activities such as report and dashboard usage, session duration, and logon/logoff times.

These reports are only accessible to individuals assigned to the CER__ALL and CER__CP_Admin user groups. In addition, if a user has report authoring capabilities, they have access to the BI Audit package, where they can author custom audit reports. The package and reports are found in Team content » BI Audit.

The reports are:


Time & Expense

Import Master Data

Import Master Data was updated as follows:

For example, if the MEALS_INCIDENTAL_AMT column displays 45 and the INCIDENTAL_AMT column displays 3, the MEAL_AMT column displays 42.

Note that the above calculation is true for both CONUS and OCONUS, except that for OCONUS (S_SOURCE_CD = ‘O’ or ‘U’), the incidental amount is derived (INCIDENTAL_AMT) from the MEAL_INCIDENTAL_BREAKDOWN.INCIDENTAL_AMT (MIB) table.


Software Issues Resolved


Accounting


Accounts Payable >> Import GovWin IQ Vendor Data


Defect 1574766: You were unable to import Govwin IQ vendor data because you are not licensed for CRM & Contracts.


Accounts Payable >> Import Purchase Order Vouchers


Defect 1566022: When you imported purchase order (PO) vouchers, Costpoint auto-assigned the voucher numbers based on ascending invoice amounts instead of the PO numbers.


Accounts Payable >> Import Vendor Employees


Defect 1574401: When you imported vendor employees, Costpoint was unable to automatically enter the Country Code of vendor employees that have a Mail State but no Country Code. As a workaround, manually enter the Country Code on the Manage Vendor Employees screen.


Defect 1583126: When you used an input file that contains both valid and invalid records, Costpoint stopped the import process when it encountered an invalid record. This occurred even when you selected the Continue to process with error records check box.


Accounts Payable >> Import Vendors


Defect 1560456: The message "Vendors to be imported already exist in the Vendor table. This condition must be corrected before importing." did not display in the Import Vendor Error Report when you imported a vendor that already exists in a different company.


Defect 1588575: When you imported vendors, Costpoint was unable to automatically enter the Country Code of vendors that have a Mail State but no Country Code. As a workaround, manually enter the Country Code on the Manage Vendors screen.


Accounts Payable >> Manage Vendor Employees


Defect 1580490: You were able to enter a Completion Date that is later than the Last Renewal Date and Expiration Date on the Skills subtask without encountering an error.


Accounts Payable >> Manage Vendors


Defect 1562842: When you clicked Refresh from IQ, Costpoint imported only the vendor's NAICS and CAGE codes.

This defect corrected the import of all fields included in the refresh interface. See Appendix B of the GovWin IQ Integration Setup Guide for detailed information by field.

To help address issues with Socio-Economic Status, the new Manage Socio-Economic Status screen has been added to Costpoint Accounting to allow you to map GovWin IQ statuses to statuses that are available in Costpoint. When you import vendor data from GovWin IQ, the mapping determines which check boxes are selected for a vendor on the Vendor Classification subtask.


Fixed Assets >> Manage Asset Master Information


Defect 1572586: When you imported a template, Costpoint did not clear the fields on the G/L Book Info tab, as well as the Depr Expense Acct Alloc Code and Accumulated Depreciation Account Code fields on the Acct Info tab for assets with Depr/Lease Status set to Years that had their Depr/Lease Based On drop-down list value updated to Non-Depreciable. As a workaround, update the asset information manually instead of importing a template.


Defect 1573916: When you imported a template, Costpoint did not clear the fields on the G/L Book Info tab, as well as the Depr Expense Acct Alloc Code and Accumulated Depreciation Account Code fields on the Acct Info tab for assets with Depr/Lease Status set to Units of Usage that had their Depr/Lease Based On drop-down list value updated to Non-Depreciable. As a workaround, update the asset information manually instead of importing a template.


Defect 1575111: When you imported a template, Costpoint did not clear the fields on the G/L Book Info tab, as well as the Depr Expense Acct Alloc Code and Accumulated Depreciation Account Code fields on the Acct Info tab for assets with Depr/Lease Status set to Lease Pds that had their Depr/Lease Based On drop-down list value updated to Non-Depreciable. As a workaround, update the asset information manually instead of importing a template.


Defect 1585698: When you entered a Salvage Percent on the Other Books Info subtask for an asset that has no cost information and clicked Save, Costpoint was unable to calculate the Salvage Value and no validation message was displayed.


General Ledger >> Update General Ledger Beginning Balances


Defect 1575445: When you updated general ledger beginning balances for multiple companies for the same fiscal year, Costpoint successfully updated the balances for the first company but displayed an error for the succeeding company. This occurred because the temporary database tables (Z tables) generated for the first company were not deleted when the update process was completed. As a workaround, manually delete the temporary tables.


CRM & Contracts


Contracts >> Manage Contracts


Defect 1552417: On the FAR Clauses/Provisions and Supplemental Regulations subtasks, when you added a new record and used lookup to select a FAR Number or Clause Number with a blank Effective Date, Costpoint inserted the selected row and filled the date with the most recent effective date. As a workaround, manually remove or change the Effective Date value.


Defect 1581096: When you used the Mass Add process via the Project Initialization subtask of Manage Contracts, a system error was recorded in the log file but not displayed on the Manage Contracts screen.


Defect 1590675: You needed to do a lookup in the Contract Vehicle field just to see the description of the contract vehicle.

This defect solves this by adding a read-only Contract Vehicle Description field to the right of Contract Vehicle on the General tab.


Contracts >> Manage Subcontracts


Defect 1552419: On the FAR Clauses/Provisions and Supplemental Regulations subtasks, when you added a new record and used lookup to select a FAR Number or Clause Number with a blank Effective Date, Costpoint inserted the selected row and filled the date with the most recent effective date. As a workaround, manually remove or change the Effective Date value.


Opportunities >> Manage Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI)


Defect 1545430: When you cloned an OCI record and then deleted entries on the Opportunities, Projects, Employees, Subs/Vendors, or Documents subtask, whether in the original OCI record or the newly created OCI record(s), those entries were also deleted in the original and new OCI records.


Resources >> Manage Contract Management Vendor Info


Defect 1589716: When you clicked Refresh from IQ, Costpoint imported only the prospective vendor's NAICS and CAGE codes.

This defect corrected the import of all fields included in the refresh interface. See Appendix B of the GovWin IQ Integration Setup Guide for detailed information by field.

To help address issues with Socio-Economic Status, the new Manage Socio-Economic Status screen has been added to Costpoint Accounting to allow you to map GovWin IQ statuses to statuses that are available in Costpoint. When you import vendor data from GovWin IQ, the mapping determines which check boxes are selected for a prospective vendor in the Business Classification group box.


Resources >> Manage Leads and Contacts


Defect 1550514: On the Business Affiliations subtask, when Business Type was set to Customer and you created a new contact or tried to add an existing contact with no details other than the Business ID, Address Code, and Contact ID, Costpoint displayed an error message requiring you to enter additional information.

Logic of this application has been updated to not require all fields to be filled in before saving. Also, for Customer as Business Type, you can now add and save new Contact ID information that is not recorded on the Manage Customers or Manage Contract Management Customer Info screen. You can also add and save an existing Contact ID with no other details.

Billing >> Calculate Standard Bills


Defect 1562965: When you used the same pool number across multiple fiscal years but the pool name was different, Costpoint did not summarize the burden amounts on the same invoice line.

To help fix the issue, a new check box, Summarize Pools by Pool ID, has been added to the Configure Billing Settings screen. If you select this check box, Costpoint will print pools by pool ID on the invoices (amounts will be summarized by pool ID across multiple fiscal years). If you do not select this check box, pools will be printed by pool ID and also by fiscal year on the invoices (amounts will be on different invoice lines per fiscal year and pool ID).
