The 8.1.8 MR installer has been updated to include the latest quarterly patch release for WebLogic 12.2.1.4.

• April 2022 SPB - p34080315_122140_Generic.zip

Also, the Java Development Kit (JDK) has been upgraded to version 1.8.0_331 and is installed with the Costpoint 8.1.8 MR installer.

A draft version of Form 941 for use in the second to fourth quarters of 2022 was issued April 14 by the Internal Revenue Service. The draft Form 941, Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, was updated to remove lines pertaining to the COBRA premium assistance credit. The credit expired in September but could still be claimed by some employers on Form 941 for the first quarter of 2022.

The structure of the draft form indicates that the form is expected to be used for each of the remaining quarters of 2022. In the list of check boxes indicating the quarter for which the form is to be filed, the boxes for the second to fourth quarters of 2022 are blank. Only the box for the first quarter is grayed out.

Lines 11e, 11f, and 13f were labeled “Reserved for future use” on the draft form. Line 11e previously reported the nonrefundable portion of the COBRA premium assistance credit, Line 11f reported the number of individuals receiving assistance, and Line 13f reported the nonrefundable portion of the credit.

Line 11g, which reports the total amount of nonrefundable credits, was updated to remove a reference to Line 11e. Similarly, Line 13g, which reports the total amount of refundable credits, was updated to remove a reference to Line 13f.

Note: For more information, refer to:

• Form: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/f941--dft.pdf (Draft as of Apr 14, 2022)

• Instruction: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/i941--dft.pdf (Not yet available)

 

Print Quarterly Federal Payroll Tax Report (PRRFDTAX)

To support the Form 941 updates, this release applies the following updates to the Print Quarterly Federal Payroll Tax Report application:

• If the Payroll Year is 2022 and Reporting Date falls on or after 04/01/2022, the screen disables the COBRA premium assistance provided this quarter field in the COBRA Premium Assistance group box.

• If the Reporting Date falls on or after 04/01/2022, the report will display blank values in Line 11e and Line 13f on the Federal 941 Data section. In addition, the Worksheet 3: COBRA Premium Assistance Credit section will not be displayed.

Costpoint provides you the ability to include unposted used leave when you export leave balances to Shop Floor Time.

 

Configure Labor Settings (LDMLABOR)

The screen provides the following new field in the Shop Floor Time group box of the Timesheet Options tab:

Field

Description

Export Unposted Used Leave

Select this check box if both posted and unposted used leaves should be included when leave balances are exported to Shop Floor Time from the Export Project Manufacturing Data screen. If you select this check box, leave balances will be based on this formula: Leave Balance = Beginning Balance + Year-to-Date Accrued Leave – Posted Used Leave – Unposted Used Leave. If this check box is not selected, only posted used leave will be included when leave balances are exported to Shop Floor Time from the Export Project Manufacturing Data screen. If you clear this check box, leave balances will be based on this formula: Leave Balance = Beginning Balance + Year-to-Date Accrued Leave – Posted Used Leave.

 

Export Project Manufacturing Data (LDPEXPM)

If the login company’s Export Unposted Used Leave check box is selected on the Configure Labor Settings screen, the Export Project Manufacturing Data screen will include both posted and unposted used leaves when leave balances are exported to Shop Floor Time. Leave balances will be based on this formula: Leave Balance = Beginning Balance + Year-to-Date Accrued Leave – Posted Used Leave – Unposted Used Leave.

If the login company’s Export Unposted Used Leave check box is not selected on the Configure Labor Settings screen, the Export Project Manufacturing Data screen will include only posted used leave when leave balances are exported to Shop Floor Time. Leave balances will be based on this formula: Leave Balance = Beginning Balance + Year-to-Date Accrued Leave – Posted Used Leave.

 

Set Up Company (SYPCOMP)

When you copy an existing company’s Labor Settings (LAB_SETTINGS) setup, the application will also copy the Export unposted used leave to the Shop Floor Time (SFT_UPOSTED_USED_LV_FL) column value.

 

Print Data Dictionary Report (SYRDD)

The Print Data Dictionary Report now provides information for the new Export unposted used leave to the Shop Floor Time (SFT_UPOSTED_USED_LV_FL) column on the Labor Settings (LAB_SETTINGS) table.

The Integrations Settings tab of the General Settings screen (Time & Expense » Configuration » General Controls » General Settings) was updated to prevent ITAR restrictions from being applied to non-Cloud customers.
