Deltek Costpoint 2026.3 Release Notes (DRAFT)

Welcome to the Deltek Costpoint 2026.3 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 July 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 2026.3 QR is deployed.

These release notes are preliminary and might not include all planned features before July 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 2026.3, 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 2635040: When you ran the Create Subcontract Purchase Order Vouchers, the process returned no records met the selection criteria.

Defect 2615832: When you manually updated the Sales/VAT Tax Amt at the voucher line or line charge level, the system initially allowed the changes but did not retain the overridden Sales/VAT Tax Amt value when you saved the record.

Defect 2607535: When you ran the update process, you encountered a system error. This occurred when the process updated an exchange rate between a legacy pre-Euro and non-Euro currency, and the Ending Date for the corresponding Rate Group in Manage Exchange Rates by Date was earlier than the update process date.

Defect 2484265: When you queried specific records in the GL Transactions and Bank Statement table windows, the GL Transactions and Bank Statement fields did not reflect the sum of the Amount columns for the displayed records in each table window.

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 2601722: The application has been updated to add ISSUE_FL column so that when you execute the Import Inventory Transactions in batch mode, the job initiates, transaction data is imported into the system, and confirmation emails are generated.

Defect 2611142: When you created a Physical Adjustment, the same serial number was allowed in two different locations.

Defect 2602636: When you performed a mass update of Location Types to toggle the Net as Planned Available checkbox, the checkbox retained its prior value instead of updating automatically.

When you typed the Manufacturing Order ID, the lookup returned no values found, but manually entering the ID and tabbing out of the field allowed the relief transaction to proceed normally.

 

For Pick and Choose deployment: If you choose not to apply this hotfix, as a workaround, you can manually enter the Manufacturing Order ID in the Enter Manufacturing Order Reliefs > Manufacturing Orders without using lookup.

Defect 2606952: When you created a partial relief that set the manufacturing order (MO) status to Complete, the reservation quantity in the INVT table was not updated for backflush parts.

This issue occurred for both Type of Payout options:

• Leave Payout for Termination
