New Jersey 2020 SUTA Electronic Filing

New Jersey’s Department of Labor and Workforce Development phased out all types of magnetic media and replaced them with the Employer Report of Wages Paid (WR-30) form. All employers must file their quarterly wage reporting information (Form WR-30) electronically either online via the New Jersey Payroll Taxes and Wage Withholding-Filing, Payment, and Reporting Service or by Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

The most recent file layout for New Jersey SUTA electronic filing added the Record Terminus Character field in position 160 of both M and B records.

The following tables show the updated record layout for WR-30 electronic submissions.

Enhancements


Touch


Updated PHP Version

The Touch Server for this version of the Deltek Vantagepoint mobile application has been upgraded to support PHP 7.4.8.


Software Issues Resolved


Accounting >> Labor Cross Charge


Defect 1314246: When you ran Labor Cross Charge, the transactions created did not match the period end date. The process produced transaction files that were dated one day before than the period end date, instead of the same date.


Billing >> Interactive Billing


Defect 1321909: This issue applies if you have enabled Consolidate All Posting and selected a specific phase to post on the Sub-Level Terms tab in Projects » Billing Terms. When you tried to accept an invoice in Interactive Billing, the Invoice Accept dialog box and the Invoices grid (in Transaction Center » Transaction Entry » Invoices) displayed the invoice amount as zero.


Defect 1323276: On the Interactive Billing form, when you accepted an invoice and then created a new invoice file on the Invoice File Selection dialog box, the Creator field in the Existing Invoice File grid incorrectly displayed the user name ID code instead of the user name.


Defect 1324083: This issue occurred on the Labor tab in Interactive Billing when you filtered the grid to display a smaller subset of labor transactions and then used SHIFT + click to select a range of the transactions. Any action that you applied to the range of transactions, such as holding, deleting, and so on, was also incorrectly applied to the transactions that were filtered out of the range.


Defect 1334539: On the Billing Session Options dialog box in Interactive Billing, when you cleared the Project View on Detail Tabs check box, it incorrectly loaded the records for all WBS levels on the detail tabs, instead of loading the first WBS level 1, 2, and 3 combination.


Billing >> Invoice Approvals


Defect 1323764: You received a "We can't open this file. Something went wrong" or a "Failed to Load PDF Document" error when you tried to print an invoice in Billing » Invoice Approvals. This occurred if the invoice had been downloaded and edited as an RTF, Microsoft Word, or Excel file in Billing » Interactive Billing, and then was uploaded and submitted as a draft invoice.


Cash Management >> Credit Card Reconciliation


Defect 1332361: When you created a cash journal entry and checked the file in Transaction Center, the net debit amounts did not match the cleared charges amount in Credit Card Reconciliation.


Cash Management >> Payment Review


Defect 1328062: On the Payment Review form, when you clicked Email on the grid toolbar and then clicked Recipients, if your security role did not have full access to all reports, you received a "You do not have rights to Employee Reports" error and you could not email employees.


Defect 1331125: On the Payment Review form, when you clicked Email on the grid toolbar and then clicked Recipients, if your role did not have full access to the Employees hub, you received a "You do not have access to Employee Reports" error message and you could not email employees.


Hubs >> Activities


Defect 1319267: When you created and saved an activity and then created a follow-up activity, you (despite being the original user) were not added as the owner of the follow-up activity.


Hubs >> Firms >> Firms


Defect 1307852: When you used Screen Designer to set the Location column to Secured or Hidden for the Contacts grid on the Contacts tab of the Firms hub, the Addresses grid on the Firms Overview tab did not display.


Defect 1322140: When you saved changes on the Firm Hierarchy dialog box, you received the following error message: "Please provide a Alpha ID for table Company Please provide a Market for table Company."


Defect 1331916: When you selected a vendor type firm and clicked the pencil icon to edit the Banking Information field on the Vendor tab, no Country field was displayed on the Banking Information dialog box. After you selected a value in the State/Province field and clicked Save, the country was locked and you could not select a state or province from a different country.


Hubs >> Projects >> Billing Terms


Defect 1317623: When you selected a tax code in the Taxes grid on the More Calculations tab of the Billing Terms form, the list of available options in the drop-down list were from the active company instead of the company associated with the project.


Hubs >> Projects >> Invoices


Defect 1324772: This issue occurred if you associated the project with a billing group in Billing » Billing Groups. In the Invoices grid, when you tried to preview an invoice of a project, you received the following error message: "Only invoices created through interactive or batch billing can be previewed."


Hubs >> Projects >> Project


Defect 1308853: This issue applies if you have a CRM-only database. In the Projects hub, when you changed a project's stage to Won, you received the following error message: “Please provide a CLAddress for table PR.“


Defect 1319847: When you exported data from the Projects hub list view, the values that you added for the Project Milestone field in Settings » Labels and Lists » Lists did not display in the comma-separated values (CSV) file.


Defect 1326044: When you opened a saved or ad hoc search of project data in List view and exported a list of projects to a spreadsheet, some records were not exported and the records that were exported did not include phase and task information.


Defect 1328086: When you displayed the Projects form in list view, filtered records in one or more columns, and then scrolled to the end of the grid, the scroll bar disappeared and you were unable to view all the records.

My Stuff >> Approval Center


Defect 1324529: After you approved the submitted timesheet lines, some of the approved timesheet lines were not removed from the grid on the Approval Center form.


My Stuff >> Dashboard


Defect 1322544: When a dashpart had a large number of records based on a search query, you were not able to scroll down to display all records returned by that search query. This occurred when you configured the properties of amount-related columns with both of the following settings on the Properties dialog box:

As a workaround, take one of the following actions on the Properties dialog box of the amount-related columns:


Defect 1323269: When you configured a dashpart with the project dashpart base to display billed, profit, and revenue data for each project, the displayed values for the profit and revenue related columns were many times more than the correct value. This issue occurred for project plans with more than three WBS levels.


Defect 1325242: This issue applies if your database does not use multiple companies. When you viewed the Billing Review predefined dashpart, the dashpart did not display the expense amounts for the Unbilled Expense and Unbilled Consultant columns.


My Stuff >> Expense Report


Defect: 1324836: During the expense approval process, you sometimes received a deadlock error message, which may or may not have prevented you from continuing. You may have had to redo some entries.


My Stuff >> Reporting


Defect 1301094: On the Options tab of the Project Forecast report, If you set the default Column Width value to 16mm, the columns were expanded when you generated the report.


Defect 1313361: When you opened the Tax Analysis report, you received a "You do not have access" error. This occurred even though your security role had access to all Accounting reports (per the settings on the Access Rights tab in Settings » Security » Roles).


Defect 1315686: When you ran the Office Earnings report or the Labor Detail report, you received the following error: "An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted). Query execution failed for dataset 'ReportDataset'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand). For more information about this error, navigate to the report server on the local server machine or enable remote errors." This occurred if you had entered a value greater than 7 in the Field Length field for WBS levels 2 and 3 in Utilities » Key Formats. Now you can enter a maximum value of 7 in the Field Length fields.


Defect 1322546: When you updated and saved your favorite report, the Update Favorite dialog box was not displayed and the changes were not saved.


Defect 1322604: If you did not associate planned direct expense amounts or direct consultant amounts with a vendor, project reports incorrectly excluded those amounts. They were, however, correctly included on the Plan form in the Projects hub and on the Project Review form in Resource Management.


Defect 1323474: This issue occurred if you upgraded from Vision 7.6 to Vantagepoint 3.0.x. The Project Progress report showed incorrect amounts in the Budget Amount column.


Defect 1324054: On the Options tab of the Labor Resource Planned and Actual report, when you selected the Employee/Generic Resources option in the For Grouping, Use Organization From list and then ran the report, the sorting options that you selected on the Grouping and Sorting section of the Columns & Groups tab were based on the project organization stead of the employee organization.


Defect 1324785: This issue occurred on the Options tab of the AR Aged report when you selected the Display AR Comments check box in the Display Options section. If you then, in the Time Frame Options section, set the Time Frame option to Date Range and specified start and end dates for the data to be included, you were unable to save the report as a favorite.


Defect 1328030: You received an error message when you ran the Project List report window if you set the report to sort and group by Marketing Campaign on the Columns & Groups tab.


My Stuff >> Timesheet


Defect 1332356: This issue applies if your role has record access rights enabled for the Employees hub in Settings » Security » Roles. On the Timesheets form, when you performed a custom search for the Employee field and then selected employee records from the results, Vantagepoint did not apply the records and continued to display the field as blank.


Resource Management


Defect 1327379: This issue occurred when you displayed the Reassign dialog box from either Project View or Resource View to make a reassignment. When you resized the dialog box to make it larger, the grid displaying the list of resources should have also expanded to show more rows, but it did not.


Resource Management >> Resource View


Defect 1323291: In some cases when an employee has, for a given project, a mix of assignments with an end date earlier than the job-to-date (JTD) date and assignments with an end date later than the JTD date, JTD hours did not roll up correctly to the project level (the top level of the work breakdown structure) when you viewed the employee's assignments in Resource View.


Search


Defect 1325424: In Hubs, when you tried to search by State/Province, if the State/Province had the same 2-digit code (for example, WA was used for both Washington state and Western Australia), whichever selection you made would automatically change to the other State/Province. As a result, if you selected Washington, the selection changed to Western Australia and vice versa.


Settings >> Cash Management >> Banks

Settings >> General >> Screen Designer

Settings >> Organization >> Individual


Defect 1300977: This issue applies if you have a single-company Vantagepoint database, and you selected the Distribute check box in the Debit and Credit Distribution by Organization grid in Settings » Accounting » Posting Accounts. This resulted in multiple Vantagepoint postings having no organization. This occurred if you had not entered the required WBS-level settings on the Units & Payroll tab in Settings » Organization » Individual in the desktop application. Now, when you try to save settings in Individual Organization Setup without entering required fields, you are prompted to enter the missing information before you can save the settings.


Settings >> Workflow >> Scheduled Workflows


Defect 1325369: After you saved a new condition and reopened it, the Value field was replaced with a date selection mechanism (a picker). This issue occurred when you used the following to create the condition: Operator = In Days, In Months, In Weeks, or Days Ago, and Value = numerical value. 


Transaction Center >> AP Invoice Approvals


Defect 1312843: When you have access to AP Invoice Approval transactions, but you don't have access to AP Voucher transactions, you were not able to approve in List View but you were able to approve in Detail View.


Utilities >> History Loading >> Invoice and Receipt
