Deltek Costpoint 2026.2 Release Notes (DRAFT)

Welcome to the Deltek Costpoint 2026.2 Release Notes, which describe the new features, enhancements, and software corrections introduced in this release.

Note: These release notes contain descriptions for the upcoming quarterly release (QR), which is scheduled for April 2026. While the applications and libraries containing some of the features are available ahead of this date for Pick and Choose (on-premises) deployments, these features will not be available until the Costpoint 2026.2 QR is deployed.

These release notes are preliminary and might not include all planned features before April 2026. We will update this page continuously until the release date. Please refresh this page in your browser to ensure you have the latest version.

These release notes address all of the modules associated with Deltek Costpoint 2026.2, some of which your firm may not use. Skip the sections that do not apply to your implementation of Deltek Costpoint.

The Build Deployed In and Dependent Files lines for defects and the list of required files included in enhancement descriptions are meant to support the Pick and Choose deployment model. If your company or system supports Pick and Choose, refer to the Downloading and Deploying Pick and Choose Hot Fixes section of these release notes for more information.

If you do not support Pick and Choose, you may ignore the deployed and dependent files listed in this document. Updates are still packaged as cumulative releases for MRs.

Updates to the New Costpoint Release Methodology for On-Premises Customers

This section provides the latest updates to the new Costpoint Release Methodology for On-Premises customers originally announced with the release of Costpoint 8.2 in June of 2023. The new release methodology allows the Costpoint team to deliver new features faster, while ensuring a higher level of quality and stability. 

As a reminder, with the launch of Costpoint 8.2 in June of 2023, Deltek moved to a Quarterly Release methodology. Quarterly Releases (QRs) will include new features, defect fixes, and regulatory updates. Deltek will provide a separate release for the Calendar Year End (CYE) updates. The CYE release will be compatible with the current year's Q2 release and beyond (that is, Q3, Q4).

Costpoint 8.2 is referred to as Deltek's Innovation Release and will adhere to the following Product Lifecycle Phases schedule (see Product Lifecycle Phase Descriptions). With the release of each Quarterly Release, the preceding Quarterly Release will move into Maintenance Support. Quarterly Releases will remain in Maintenance Support for six months. After this nine-month period (three months Active Support, six months Maintenance Support), the Quarterly Release will move into Sustaining Support.

Costpoint 8.2 on-premises customers should apply, at a minimum, two QRs each calendar year. This allows customers to skip a QR when planning their annual upgrade schedule. Adhering to this upgrade schedule ensures customers can request individual hot fixes for critical defects and apply the CYE update (if needed).

On-premises clients will need to be on the current calendar year's Q2 quarterly release or higher to consume CYE updates, which include W2, 1099, payroll, and other regulatory updates. Based on the nine-month support policy, the Q1 quarterly release will enter Sustaining Support in September.

Customers are encouraged to use Deltek-provided or alternative test automation tools to accelerate their upgrade schedule. Click here to learn more about Deltek's test automation tool.

Costpoint 8.1 is referred to as Deltek's Long-Term Support release and moved into Maintenance Support (see Support Lifecycle: Deltek Costpoint Product Family) on June 1st 2023 and will remain in Maintenance Support thru April 1st 2026. As a reminder, in Maintenance Support, Costpoint 8.1 will not receive any new features while continuing to receive new tax, legal, and regulatory updates and hot fixes for severity 1 issues.

As part of the transition to the Quarterly Release methodology, Deltek is changing the Costpoint version numbering. The new version number will reflect the year and quarter when the quarterly update was released. Deltek will implement this change starting with the 2025 Q1 release. The Q1 2025 version number will be 2025.1. The Q2 2025 version number will be 2025.2 and so on. You can check out Support Lifecycle: Deltek Costpoint Product Family for a listing of each Costpoint release.

Defect 2483810: When you added fields on the Approval Screen Field subtask, a hidden EXT_FL error occurred.

Defect 2496530: When you used the Find search field and clicked a record, Costpoint failed to retrieve the selected record.

For Pick and Choose deployment: If you choose not to apply this hotfix, as a workaround, click Find Records on the result list, or click Query and remove unnecessary query criteria.

Defect 2518247: When you ran the report and selected the Control Number Option of From Beginning or To End, a critical error occurred. From Beginning resulted in a conversion failure when converting the varchar value '.' to the data type int. To End resulted in a conversion failure when converting the varchar value 'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz' to the data type int.

Defect 2549068: When processing transfer reservation MRP messages in MRPFPO, the messages were not found.

Defect 2549543: When you tried to open the SO Demand subtask, you encountered a repetitive error: "Attempt to set an invalid value to combobox. object:SO_STATUS value:[STATUS]". 

The error stopped when the Sales Order Demand subtask was closed.

Defect 2553779: When you generated a demand report, supply records did not indicate supply met by inventory. The INVT_ABBRV_CD_SUP field was blank or null, causing soft allocations to not display inventory demand or supply.

Defect 2540847: When you submitted a request, Costpoint used the sub-period end date of the fiscal year where the request date fell to validate the period of performance.

Defect 2537784: When you imported Company 1, the report generated displayed the correct data. When you imported Company 2, the report generated incorrectly displayed data from Company 1. This occurred only when the import file was missing from the directory.

Defect 2522010: When you zeroed out items from the requirements on a manufacturing order because the site used them as floor stock, a partial relief did not recognize the "to issue" quantity. Instead, it checked the required quantity, calculated against the issue quantity, and displayed a "not issued" error message. When you performed a full relief, Costpoint validated using the "to issue" field and worked as expected.

Defect 2528595: When you manually created a series of MOs and clicked save, Costpoint displayed a CSE error.

Defect 2552470: When you added a routing information in the Routing subtask, you encountered an error.

Defect 2548895: When you generated the PO Commitments report, invoices not approved by both the supplier and internal approvers were incorrectly included, even though they were not yet considered vouchers.

Defect 2549430: When you created a preprocessor input file to update a purchase order (PO) line, and ran the process, you encountered an error.

Defect 2528440: When you performed a Vendor Employee lookup, no results were returned if the Project used in the PO Line Account differed from the Project in the Accounting Defaults of the PO Header.

For Pick and Choose deployment: If you choose not to apply this hotfix, as a workaround, do not add project to the header.

Defect 2537805: When you attempted to edit a PO while the inventory abbreviation was not active or outgoing and the project was either active or inactive, the edit action could not be completed.

Defect 2529008: When you printed a purchase order with voided PO lines excluded using the Exclude Void PO Lines option, the printed purchase order displayed blank spaces and blank pages where the excluded voided lines would have appeared.

Defect 2548897: When you generated the PO Discrepancy report, invoices not approved by both the Supplier and Internal approvers were incorrectly included, even though these invoices were not yet considered vouchers.

Defect 2516595: When the application ran daily across all companies, it updated PO_HDR records in incorrect companies, setting PO_HDR.VCHRD_AMT and PO_HDR.TRN_VCHRD_AMT to zero. When the application ran in the correct company, it corrected the vouchered amounts. However, when the jobs ran again the next day, the process repeated: when the company did not match the PO, the vouchered amounts were set to zero; when the company matched the PO, the values were corrected. Rowversion was not updated for records from non-matched company reconciliations.

Defect 2553765: When you tried to delete a part, you encountered a system error. The same error was encountered when you tried to delete routing lines.

Defect 2540085: When a row in the SO_HDR table was updated by CPSUPERUSER, the order entry approval status displayed incorrectly.

Defect 2546334: When suppliers attempted to create an invoice for a purchase order that was already system closed, a warning message displayed.

Defect 2498599: When you processed multiple eligible timesheets in the same period, the application incorrectly identified the salary cap. The project salary cap amount was calculated based on a combination of eligible timesheets, while the project subject amount was calculated separately for each individual timesheet. This occurred when a C timesheet or D timesheet was present in the same period as an R timesheet.

Defect 2039277: When you imported a timesheet, multiple fringe lines combined into one if they were identical. Consequently, one line was replaced with only one line, specifically with the fringe from the last line on the timesheet.

Defect 2322809: When you uploaded project data to the Profit and Loss by Project report, the details for bgt org and pool org differed between the latest org BUD/OLK and the final project BUD/EAC/NB.

Defect 2339840: When you attempted to import project forecast data, you encountered excessive lag times.

Defect 2411458: Distributed Revenue was included in the Funding column of the report.

Defect 2411459: Distributed Revenue was included in the Funding column of the report.

Defect 2421351: Oracle took longer to process than expected.

Defect 2428588: When you tried to use revenue calculation for hour rows over 1000 entries, you encountered performance issue.

Defect 2549369: When you calculated revenue using a Rate Schedule formula on a project with multiple PLC, the revenue was calculated incorrectly.

For Pick and Choose deployment: If you choose not to apply this hotfix, as a workaround, you can make a revenue adjustment to correct the amounts.

Defect 2457333: When you tried to access the home dashboard without a BP license, an error occurred.

Defect 1949853: When a supervisor rejected a Processed timesheet at the same time as the employee corrected it, the timesheet status changed to Rejected, but the button did not change from Correct to Undo Correct.

Customers Impacted: Client using WIC to enter time using Start/Stop Times

Workaround Before Fix: None

Additional Notes:

Description:

When executing the Timesheet Status Report, the process completes with errors and displays a System Error dialog. The root cause is that BIRT report files are stored in UPPERCASE in the Linux environment, which is case-sensitive.
