Important Notes

These release notes address all of the modules associated with Deltek Costpoint 8.2.11, 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 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.

Note: 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 you have already installed the latest MR, you do not need to install the lower MR versions listed in the defect/enhancement; updates are still packaged as cumulative releases for MRs.

Update W-4 Information of Iowa Employees for 2024 Filing

Important: This action is required if you have Iowa Employees.

Iowa revised the IA W-4 (Employee Withholding Allowance Certificate), resulting in a change to the way an employee’s Iowa withholding credit information is determined. Rather than requesting the number of allowances an employee would like to claim, the IA W-4 now requests a dollar amount.

To accommodate the employee setup, updates made in Costpoint MR 8.2.8 included the following:

A new Credit Amount field was added to the Manage Employee Taxes screen and the Taxes subtask on the Manage Employee Information screen, allowing payroll administrators to enter the Total Allowance amount from Line 6 of the IA W-4.
A new Credit Amount field was added to the Costpoint Employee Self Service (ESS) State Withholding screen, allowing employees to enter the total allowance amount they would like to claim.

In Costpoint MR 8.2.9, the Iowa state withholding computation has been updated so that an employee’s credit amount will be based on the Credit Amount field on the Manage Employee Taxes screen, rather than the Number of Credits field. If your Iowa employees have not already reviewed their Iowa W-4 information, you should instruct them to do so before computing payroll. Costpoint Payroll customers with Iowa employees should do the following:

Costpoint Employee Self Service (ESS) customers:
Update the Web Address or Notes field on the Configure State Tax Settings screen with a link to the latest IA W-4.
Instruct your Iowa employees to review their Iowa W-4 Credit Amount on the ESS State Withholding screen and update as needed using the following steps:

Go to People » Employee Self Service » Payroll and Benefits » State Withholding.
Populate the Credit Amount with the total allowance amount from line 6 of your 2024 IA W-4.
Click Save.

Costpoint customers not using Costpoint ESS:
Instruct your Iowa employees to file an updated W-4 using the 2024 IA W-4 form.
Use the completed IA W-4 form to update the employee’s tax setup on the Costpoint Manage Employee Taxes screen or the Taxes subtask on the Manage Employee Information screen.

It is important for Iowa employees to update their IA W-4 information before payroll is computed in Costpoint MR 8.2.9 or a higher version since the Iowa tax withholding computation will be updated in those versions. If you upgrade to one of those versions and an Iowa employee has not yet updated their Iowa W-4 information, their credit amount will be 0.00 and may result in a higher withholding amount than expected.

Update Iowa Setup in ESS Configure State Tax Settings

Iowa updated their marital status options with the release of their 2024 IA W-4 employee withholding allowance certificate. To accommodate the new statuses, Costpoint MR 8.2.9 applied the following:

Added new HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD filing status
Changed the description for the SINGLE filing status from "Single" to "Other"
Changed the description for the MARRIED filing status from "Married" to "Married Filing Jointly"

If your employees use Costpoint Employee Self Service (ESS) to update their state tax information, Deltek recommends you assign the new HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD status to Iowa on the Configure State Tax Settings screen and update the filing status descriptions for the MARRIED (Married Filing Jointly) and SINGLE (Other) filing statuses to be consistent with the 2024 IA W-4.

Cobra Integration

With Costpoint 8.2, a change was made so all Cobra applications will be hidden from the Costpoint menus unless the integration has been set up. This change was made to reduce the visibility of unnecessary applications in Costpoint if clients are not licensed or do not have the configuration enabled.

If you already use the automated integration with Cobra Web Services, there is no action required. The integration in Product Configuration Utility is already set up, and you can see the connection for Cobra in Manage System Integration Accounts.
If you currently download the Cobra information without the automated integration with Cobra Web Services, then you have not set up the integration in Product Configuration and will not see the connection for Cobra in the System Integration Accounts application. You MUST enable/configure this connection in the Costpoint Config Utility. Note that it does not have to be valid values. (Please do NOT click the Test button to validate.)

To set up the Product Configuration Utility for Cloud customers, you must complete the following form and submit a Service Request ticket.

Costpoint GovCon Cloud Standard: See KB Article 82108 (How to request a Costpoint Integration Setup).
Costpoint GovCon Cloud Moderate: See KB Article 103779 (Set up Integration with Costpoint).

Project Role Security Replaces Project Manager Security in Costpoint Business Intelligence

Access to secure project data has been greatly enhanced by Project Roles Security, which expands access to other roles beyond the Project Manager. If the necessary configurations are set, any project role, including project managers, can view project data at their level and in the lower project levels.

In Costpoint Business Intelligence 8.2.9 or later, Project Role Security replaces Project Manager (PM) Security. PM Security is no longer supported and has been removed.

If you use Project Manager Security and will upgrade to version 8.2.9 or later, Project Role Security will be applied seamlessly without performing extra steps. The system will follow the BI settings you had before the upgrade and transfer users in CER__PM_MGR to the CER__ROLE_SEC user group. In addition, you can extend role security to other project roles.

Important: If you have users in the CER__PM_MGR user group but have disabled Project Role Security before upgrading to 8.2.9, the users will be transferred to the CER__ROLE_SEC user group after the upgrade and Project Roles Security will be automatically turned on. It is important that your BI administrator selects No in the Use Project Roles Security field on the Manage BI Settings screen after the upgrade if needed. The Manage BI Settings screen is located in Report & Analytics » BI Controls.

For more details in setting up Project Role Security, see the Project Roles Security Setup section in Deltek Costpoint Business Intelligence 8.2.9 Post Installation and Configuration Guide for On-premises Users. Additional information is also available in KB article #115682.

This change requires patches 11322 and 11323.

Regulatory Enhancements

State

Vermont Child Care Contribution Payroll Tax

Vermont created a new payroll tax called the Child Care Contribution to fund its Child Care Financial Assistance Program under a bill that will partially go into effect on July 1, 2024.
The payroll tax is 0.44% of an employee’s covered wages, or 0.11% of a self-employed individual’s self-employment income.
Employers are responsible for at least three-quarters of the tax but can choose to pay more.
Employers may deduct one quarter of the tax, or 0.11%, from employees’ wages.
Employers are responsible for withholding the employees' share.
Under the bill, the tax applies to employers that are required to withhold Vermont income tax from employee wages and to employees who have Vermont income tax withheld from their wages.
Employers must remit the tax to the state tax department using the same requirements as Vermont’s income tax, including the time and manner of payment.
Wages subject to federal income tax withholding are subject to the tax.
The bill holds employers responsible for the full amount of any unpaid contributions.
To support the state requirements, Costpoint now provides the ability to set up, withhold, and report Vermont’s Child Care Contribution payroll tax.
Attention: For more information, see: https://legislature.vermont.gov/Documents/2024/Docs/ACTS/ACT076/ACT076%20As%20Enacted.pdf

Reports & Analytics

Business Intelligence

Defect 2108937: The Costpoint Authentication Provider or CAP file did not include a value of Y or N for the ENABLE_PROJ_ROLE_SECCURITY session parameter. The session parameter should have matched the selection made on the Manage BI Configuration Settings screen. This defect affects you if you are trying to enable the new Project Role Security.

Defect 2109065: The Deltek_CAP.log file was not updated after the upgrade to Cognos Analytics with Watson 11.2.4 FP2. This defect prevented you from seeing the log activities while using Cosptoint Authentication Provider (CAP) withi Costpoint Business Intelligence. This defect affects both cloud and on-premises customers where the fix for cloud has been applied. If you are an on-premises customer, you need to set up the new DeltekCAP.jar file released in Costpoint BI 8.2.11.
To set up the new DeltekCAP.jar file:
In your Cognos Analytics with Watson server, create a new AAA folder in the ibm\cognos\analytics\webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF directory.
Create a lib folder in the ibm\cognos\analytics\webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\AAA directory.
Open the webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\lib directory and remove the DeltekCAP.jar file.
Copy the latest DeltekCAP.jar file in this webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\AAA\lib directory.
The latest DeltekCAP.jar file is found in the \zSupport Files\CAP8.2 folder of the Costpoint BI 8.2.11 installation.
Copy the following files from the webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\lib directory to the ibm\cognos\analytics\webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\AAA\lib directory:
log4j-api-2.x.jar
log4j-core-2.x.jar
In your Costpoint BI 8.2.11 installation, open the \zSupport Files\CAP8.2\sample_configuration folder and look for the log4j2_deltek.xml file.
Copy the log4j2_deltek.xml file into the ibm\cognos\analytics\configuration directory.
Open the log4j2_deltek.xml via Notepad.
Set the logging level as either:
debug to log debug information. For example:
Logger name="com.deltek" additivity="false" level="debug"
OR
warning to log warning information. For example:
Logger name="com.deltek" additivity="false" level="warning"

As a workaround, close the BI screen by clicking the X button on the upper-right side. And then, reopen Business Intelligence via the Costpoint menu path: Reports & Analytics » Business Intelligence.
