Deltek Vantagepoint 3.5.3 (Build 3.5.3.1145) Release Notes
 
Release Date: October 12, 2020
Last Updated: February 16, 2021


Welcome to the Deltek Vantagepoint 3.5.3 Release Notes, which describe the new features and enhancements introduced in this release.

These release notes address all of the modules associated with Deltek Vantagepoint 3.5, some of which your firm may not use. Skip the sections that do not apply to your implementation of Deltek Vantagepoint.


Enhancements


API


Update the Activity API Endpoints for Email Integration

A number of Activity API endpoints have been updated to enhance the previously added support for Vantagepoint’s integration with email applications (such as Outlook and Gmail). These endpoints can now handle recurring activities accordingly.


Planning


Vision-to-Vantagepoint Pre-Upgrade Data Checks Added

You can run Vision-to-Vantagepoint upgrade scripts prior to upgrading to Vantagepoint to detect structural and data conditions in Vision plans that can cause issues when a plan is converted to a Vantagepoint plan. In Version 3.5.3, those scripts include some new checks for rare problem scenarios, with the goal of making the pre-conversion plan validation as comprehensive as possible. 

If you are notified that a plan failed one of these checks and you want the plan to be converted to a plan in Vantagepoint, correct the problem condition in Vision before you upgrade. In some cases, if you do not correct the problem, the plan will not be converted to Vantagepoint.

For complete information about converting plans when you upgrade to Vantagepoint, go to the Vantagepoint Readiness Portal, navigate to Manage Your Upgrade » Upgrading to Vantagepoint, and review the following:


Reporting


Ability to View the Project Forecast Report Values in Multiple Currencies

If you are using multiple currencies, you now can see the values on the Project Forecast report in Project, Billing, or Presentation currency. Vantagepoint applies the exchange rate to the selected currency if the value is not displayed. For detailed information, see Project Forecast Options Tab.


Settings >> Billing


Billing: Accounts Receivable

Additional print options are now available for selecting more details for the [Contact] name when the [Contact] name will be displayed on the AR Statement.


Translation


Translation Updates

General translation updates were made to clarify the content and meaning of the text in several system messages.


Software Issues Resolved


Accounting >> Gains and Losses


Defect 1337567: When you specified overrides to the posting account of foreign denominated accounts, the Gains/Losses and Revaluation Posting Log showed that the values were posted to the original system-configured accounts, instead of the specified override accounts. This occurred if previous entries made during the process affected the system-configured unrealized gain account and were from the same company.


Accounting >> Overhead Allocation

Defect 1356929: When you clicked the Test Setup option on the Overhead Allocation form and received an error message you could then, without fixing the error, click the Run option and process overhead allocations successfully.


Accounting >> Revenue Generation


Defect 1294512: Even though Billing Rate tables were configured to use 4 decimals, Revenue Generation was only considering 2 decimal places when calculating amounts.


Billing >> Employee Realization


Defect 1346562: On the Employee Realization Allocation dialog box, you received an error message when you did the following:

  1. You changed the amount for the Employee Specific Unit Realization field, but the amount in the Total Realization field did not update.

  2. You adjusted the amount in the Labor Realization field and clicked Save.


Billing >> Interactive Billing


Defect 1330026: This issue occurred when you filtered and then sorted the transactions in the Labor grid on the Labor tab of the Interactive Billing form. When you scrolled through the grid without removing the filter row, the check boxes became misaligned with the rows.


Defect 1336353: On the Invoice History tab of the Interactive Billing form, when you selected a pre-invoice of a project and then clicked Print, you received a confirmation prompt about previewing the backup report, which does not apply to pre-invoices.


Defect 1345761: On the Labor tab of the Interactive Billing form, when you changed the status of one or more records, their corresponding values and the total amount in the Invoice Amount field were not updated until you navigated away from the tab.


Defect 1347490: When you had multiple billing sessions open in your browser, you were able to add invoice transactions to an invoice file that was already posted.


Defect 1352449: On the Invoice History tab in Interactive Billing, when you issued a credit memo, the credit memo showed the date of the original invoice instead of the credit memo date that you entered on the Billing Session Options dialog box.


Defect 1354652: On the Fees tab of the Interactive Billing form, when your project had multiple billing phases, the Fee Billing Phases grid was cut off and did not properly display the Current Fee column.

Cash Management >> Bank Reconciliation


Defect 1340056: When you opened an existing bank reconciliation with import records and completed the following steps, the Unchecked filter was incorrectly cleared after you manually cleared an imported transaction:

  1. On the Bank Reconciliation form, you selected the Import tab.

  2. In the Import Records grid, you clicked the filter and then set the Matched column to Unchecked.

  3. You hovered over the end of a transaction line and clicked the Match Transaction icon.

  4. On the Match Transactions dialog box, in the All grid, you set the Cleared column to Unchecked.


Defect 1361633: This defect applied to cash disbursement transaction entries that you created in Cash Management Bank » Reconciliation.

Cash Management >> Credit Card Reconciliation


Defect 1344605: When you created a new credit card statement and successfully imported a file via Credit Card Reconciliation, the Import Statement dialog box did not display the date and time of the import.

Defect 1351365: When you created a new firm record and then entered a value in the Number field in the Firm Summary pane, Vantagepoint displayed the number with leading zeroes. This issue occurred even if you set the Display Leading Zeroes option to No for firm and vendor numbers in Utilities » Key Formats.


Defect 1351537: When you sorted the Projects grid on the Associations tab in the Firms hub, you could not sort the Status field by type (Dormant, Active, or Inactive).


Defect 1358141: On the Grid Settings dialog box in the Firms hub, the Last Activity Date and Last Activity Subject fields were displayed twice under the Available Columns list.

Hubs >> Projects


Defect 1328867: When you searched for an invoice number on the New Project Search dialog box, the search did not return the expected results.


Defect 1356406: When you imported opportunities from the Salesforce application, any opportunities with a status of Lost were created with a status of Active in Vantagepoint.


Defect 1360483: In the Projects hub, when you clicked Other Actions » Add Phase, chose to create a phase from a project or project template, and then clicked Continue, the next screen did not display as it should have and you sometimes received a timeout message. This occurred if your security role did not have full access to all applications and the appropriate record access in Security Settings.


Defect 1363546: In some cases, if your security role gives you only limited record-level access to projects (for example, only access to projects for which you are the project manager), you received the following error when you tried to navigate to an application in the Projects hub: "AppendParameters IEnumerable parameter may not be empty."


Hubs >> Projects >> Billing Terms


Defect 1322770: This issue occurred when you clicked + Add Billing Terms and created billing terms for projects with phases. When you then selected an existing project without phases as basis for the billing terms, the phase name and number did not display on the Billing Terms form in Edit Mode.


Hubs >> Projects >> Billing terms


Defect 1337995: On the Rates tab of the Billing Terms form, after you selected and saved a rate table in the Rate Table field in the Expense or Consultants sections, the rate table number incorrectly displayed in that field,instead of the rate table name.

This occured if both of the following applied in edit mode in the Expense or Consultants sections of the Rates tab before you saved the rate table entries:


Hubs >> Projects >> Contract Management


Defect 1340721: The Fees column on the Contracts tab in Projects » Contact Management was shaded (grayed out) and not editable.

Hubs >> Projects >> Plan


Defect 1360547: This issue occurred when you created a project in Hubs » Projects » Project and Vantagepoint automatically created a plan and associated it with the project. If you then modified the initial plan, the Save Baseline option displayed as disabled and you were not able to save the changes.


Hubs >> Projects >> Project


Defect 1340219: This issue occurred in List View when you tried to filter a project's value either by the Number column or the Name column. If a project's number or name was displayed as part of a breadcrumb (for example, 0000000.00 > 00BOA), the phase and task levels were not listed.

 


Defect 1346655: If you selected the Enable Overall Revenue Limit option for a project in the Revenue section of the Accounting tab of the Projects form and then selected Accounting » Revenue Generation and ran the revenue generation process for the project, the limit amounts were not applied.


Defect 1354213: If one of the Billing Client fields on the Accounting tab of the Projects form (the Contact field, for example) was made a required field using Screen Designer, you received a "Please review values on the Accounting tab" message when you tried to save a project with the Overhead charge type. This message appeared because the required field contained no entry for that project. However, the message should not have displayed because the Billing Client fields do not apply to overhead projects and are hidden for those projects, to prevent data entry.


Defect 1358154: This issue occurred when your role had specific record level view criteria set up for employees on the Record Access tab in Settings » Security » Roles. On the Overview tab in the Projects hub, when you clicked the hyperlink in the Biller field, you received the following error message: "The multi-part identifier 'EmployeeCustomTabFields.CustDirector' could not be bound."


Defect 1358833: When you viewed projects in List view, you received an error message saying that specific multi-part identifiers could not be bound. This defect happened when you created and saved a search that used starts with, contains, or does not contain operators with an employee or string (for example, client) data type.


Hubs >> Projects >> Project Review


Defect 1346646: When you searched for a project with an EAC Planned Billing amount of zero, but with a high Contract/Fee expense amount, you received the following warning: "Expense EAC Billing is higher than Contract."


Defect 1346664: If you had data displayed on the Project Review form and you selected a different project, the progress spinner disappeared when the new project's header information displayed, making it look as if the new project data was completely loaded. In actuality, the data for the previous project was still displayed, which was confusing. It took a number of additional seconds before the detail area finally displayed the correct project's data. In this Vantagepoint version, the progress spinner does not disappear until all data for the newly selected project is displayed.


Defect 1363798: When you reviewed WBS 2 (phase) and WBS 3 (task) level information on the Project Review form, the ETC Planned Cost column was empty. This occurred even if the ETC Cost values for WBS 2 and WBS 3 were displayed on the Plan form of Hub » Projects Hub » Plan and also in the Planning Analysis at Cost section of the Project Review form in Accounting » Project Review(in the desktop application).


Mes Articles (My Stuff) >> Calendrier (Calendar)


Defect 1351479: In the Calendar application, when you used the French (Canada) language, the month title was incorrectly translated for August and some other months.

Defect 1348979: When you clicked the link in an email notification for absence requests, the Approval Center form was displayed but the approval record was not displayed.


Defect 1358142: Items in the Approval Options drop-down list were available even when you had approved, rejected, or reassigned the records in the grid.


Defect 1375813: This issue applies when you log in to Vantagepoint using the Francais (Canada) language and approvals are turned on for timesheets, expense reports, and absence requests. In the Approval Center, no timesheets, expense reports, or absence requests displayed on the approval forms.


My Stuff >> Dashboard


Defect 1340692: When you configured a dashpart with a grouping, and the dashpart included a calculated field, the displayed value for the calculated field was incorrect. This occurred if you selected the following options on the Grouping Options dialog box:


Defect 1344643: When hub records were updated, the Vantagepoint Intelligence dashparts did not display the latest information from the Tableau servers. In addition, the refresh option on the dashpart did not work.


Defect 1345161: When you created or edited a dashpart with the employee dashpart base, the Target Ratio column was not listed as an available column on the Select Dashpart Columns dialog box. This occurred because the Target Ratio column was incorrectly labeled as the Target Amount column.


Defect 1345955: When you created a table dashpart with the project dashpart base and included columns based on drop-down type user defined fields, you received the following error message: "Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <=, >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression. The statement has been terminated."


My Stuff >> Expense Report


Defect 1338225: This issue occurred when the Approval Workflow was set up for expense reports on the Expense Approvals Form in Settings » Expenses » Expense Approvals.

In the Reporting application, if you first added detail lines and then deleted one or more of the detail lines from an expense report, the approval records were not deleted. As a result, when you again opened the expense report from the Reporting application, added new detail lines, and then ran and saved the report, the newly added lines appeared as duplicate approval records that had the same sequence number as the previously deleted detail lines.


Defect 1354016: When you did not select the Maintain separate balance sheets by Org option in Settings » Organization » General in the desktop application, submitting an expense report with a prepaid expense account resulted in a Project Required error.


Defect 1356951: On the Expense Reports form, when you entered the expense category for an expense line, Vantagepoint did not prefill the Category field with a matching result. This defect occurred if the expense category that you entered was the 100th entry (or later) in the Categories for All Expense Groups grid in Settings » Expense » Expense Categories.


Defect 1376713: On the Expense Report form, when you used the lookup in the Project field, it did not return projects that your security role had access to when you had access to only the lower WBS levels and not the project level.


Defect 1377859: This issue occurred when you created a new expense report by copying an existing expense report that had several line items that used a labor category with an assigned tax rate calculation. If you deleted some of the line items in the new expense report, the tax rate and amount for the remaining line items were zeroed out when you saved the expense report.


My Stuff >> Reporting


Defect 1025233: If you sorted the Contract Management report by contract status, the non-numeric data columns (for example, Request Date, Approved Date, Period) should have been blank on the Contract Status rows, but instead contained the same data that displayed on one of the detail rows below. (The amount columns on the Contract Status rows correctly contained the rolled-up totals for the status.)


Defect 1339562: In the Columns grid of the Columns & Groups tab for a report, you could not specify how data aligned in the column by typing an initial character (for example, "C" for Center) in the Alignment field. As a result, if you tried to select the alignment in this way, nothing happened.


Defect 1340234: Accounts Receivable comments appeared twice in the Billing Client and Project Number sections of the AR Aged Report. This occurred when you did the following:


Defect 1341527: When you ran the Labor Detail report, the posted hours from disabled tasks (specified in Utilities » Key Conversions » Disable Phases/Tasks) were not included in the phase level.


Defect 1346598: When you ran the Purchase Order Cost Distribution Detail report (under the Purchasing category, the report displayed incorrect values in the Project Amount column because it used the value in Total Amount as the multiplier instead of the value in Unit Price. This occurred even when the line item details used unit-based distribution on the Line Items tab of the Purchase Orders form in the desktop application.


Defect 1346662: When you ran the Project Forecast report, values were displayed in the Project JTD Labor Cost and Project YTD Labor Cost columns even if your role did not have access rights enabled for Labor Cost Rates/Amounts on the Accounting tab in Settings » Security » Roles.


Defect 1353884: On the Options tab of the Project Earnings report, the Include Overhead check box was not displayed when you set the Report At option to Cost.


Defect 1353890: When you applied Electronic Payment fields as record search criteria and then tried to run Accounts Payable reports, you received the following error message:

"QueryRoutines.GetExpressionEntityDelegate (vendor). vendor is not handled."


Defect 1358294: When you ran the Project Planning List report, the values of the Start Date and End Date fields reflected the project's expected start and end dates.


Defect 1359111: On the Options tab of the Unbilled Summary report, when you set the Bill Thru Date field to Today's Date before generating the report, the consultant's expenses (AP vouchers) were not included in the report.


Defect 1359165: This issue occurred when you set the search criteria to projects with an active status on the phase level. When you ran the Project Earnings report, no values were displayed in the ETC Billing and ETC Amount columns.


Defect 1359679: This issue occurred when you generated the Tax Analysis report. If you selected a tax code with no tax rate in the Tax Code field on the Options tab of the report options, values were displayed in the Tax Amount column when there should have been none. For affected transactions a value was also displayed in the Tax Amount field of the Cash Receipts Posting Log (Transaction Center » Posting Logs), even if the tax code associated with the transaction had no tax rate.


My Stuff >> Self Service


Defect 1356137: This issue occurred when your role had record level view criteria set up for Employees on the Record Access tab in Settings » Security » Roles. When you accessed the Self Service form to view a specific employee record, you received the following error message: "The multi-part identifier "EmployeeCustomTabFields.CustDirector" could not be bound."


My Stuff >> Timesheet


Defect 1231581: This issue occurred on the Timesheets form when you entered values in user-defined fields (specified in Settings » Time » Options) in multiple timesheet lines under the same project. On a new timesheet, when you clicked Other Actions » Copy Previous Timesheet, only one line of the project with a blank user-defined field was copied.


Defect 1333633: This issue occurred when you entered timesheet data for a project and then transferred the hours to another project with the same name. When you completed the following steps, the Billing Transfer Audit dialog box (Other Actions » Acknowledge Transfers) did not display the old project name with a strikethrough in the Transfer Details field:

  1. In My Stuff » Timesheet, you entered timesheet data for a project.

  2. On the Timesheet tab in Transaction Center » Time and Expense Posting, you posted the timesheet.

  3. On the Labor Tab in Billing » Interactive Billing, you transferred the hours to a lower-level work breakdown structure element of another project with the same name.


Defect 1375814: This issue applies when you log in to Vantagepoint using any non-English language and approvals are turned on for timesheets. On the Timesheet form, the filter list for the timesheet search field did not correctly display the record count beside each timesheet status type (such as All Missing, All in Progress, All Pending Approval, and so on).


Defect: 1377500: On the Timesheet form, the lookup in the Project field was slow to retrieve projects.


Notifications

Purchasing >> Purchase Orders


Defect 1354789: This issue occurred when you logged in using another language (fr-FR- French(France), fr-CA- French (Canada)es-ES- Spanish (Spain), or de-DE- German (Germany)) and then created a new purchase order or modified an existing in-progress purchase order. When you set the Ship To option to Other, the fields on the Shipping tab, from the Name field through the Email field, were disabled.


Search


Defect 1349087: This issue occurred when you ran an advanced project search to find unpaid invoices for a project. If you used the following search conditions:

As a result, the Lookup icon was missing in the Add Value field and the records were not updated in the Search Results grid.


Defect 1357836: When you configured a project lookup on the New Project Search dialog box and used the "=" operator in a search criterion, the "=" operator was sometimes changed to "N". This sometimes occurred when the search criterion was a user-defined drop-down field.


Settings >> Cash Management >> Credit Cards


Defect 1350797: After migrating from Vision to Vantagepoint, the Project field was blank for existing secondary credit cards in the Secondary Credit Card grid of the Credit Cards settings form. If you attempted to add a new secondary credit card, you could not save the record.


Settings >> General >> Screen Designer


Defect 1346877: This issue occurred when you tried to assign a workflow to a custom button for the Chart of Accounts application in screen designer. The Workflow drop-down field in the custom button's Field Properties section did not display any workflow options, even if workflows for the Chart of Accounts were available in Settings » Workflow.


Settings >> Security >> Password Policies


Defect 1355884: When you updated the password for an existing user, multiple emails were sent that incorrectly implied that the user's initial login had changed.


Settings >> Security >> Roles


Defect 1337209: On the Access Rights tab in Roles Security, you received the error message: "Record Already Exists and Cannot be Added."

This occurred in the following scenario:

  1. You set the Functional Area option to Reports.

  2. In the Reports for this Role grid, standard and custom reports were already selected for the role.

  3. You selected the Full access to all reports check box.


Defect 1339187: This issue occurred when you tried to filter reports for a security role by selecting the following options on the Roles form in Roles Security:

As a result, the report type filter returned only the available reports, instead of both available reports and all reports of that type for the security role.


Defect 1339582: This issue occurred if your security role did not have full access to reports specified on the Overview tab of the Roles form. If a standard report was related to a custom report that you created, the standard report was missing from the Reports for this Role grid on the Access Rights tab of the Roles form.


Defect 1361352: In some cases, when you used a query in Advanced Search to set up record-level access to projects for a security role, the query took a long time to run and sometimes resulted in a timeout error. Other processes occurring in Vantagepoint at the same time also had degraded performance.


Settings >> Security >> Users


Defect 1353555: On the Users form, when you changed a user's status from Active to Inactive and the user had the Windows Authentication check box selected, the change was not automatically saved as it should have been. It incorrectly required you to enter a password in the Password field on the form even though the Password field was not accessible.


Settings >> Workflow >> User Initiated Workflows


Defect 1353574: When you searched for the values of custom fields (for example, Name or Number) from a user-defined hub on the Conditions dialog box, the search was not recognized. This problem occurred when you did the following:

  1. You created a user-defined hub and added a record.

  2. In the Employees hub, you added the custom field from the user-defined hub.

  3. You created a user-initiated workflow for the Employees hub.

  4. In Settings » Workflow » User Initiated Workflow, you launched the Conditions dialog box then, in the Columns field, entered a custom field (for example, Name or Number) from the user-defined hub.


Transaction Center >> AP Invoice Approval


Defect 1366348: On the AP Invoice Approvals form, when you used the Created Voucher from Purchase Order action to create a new voucher, if you selected the Create New Run option on the Create Voucher from Purchase Order Options dialog box, both the Select Existing Run and Create New Run options were selected. The Select Existing Run option was also disabled and you could not clear it.


Transaction Center >> AP Invoice Approvals


Defect 1353897: The Approvals Timeline field on the AP Invoice Approvals form displayed an incorrect submitter. This issue happened when:


Defect 1356793: On the Progress tab of the AP Invoice Approvals form, when you exported data from the Assignments grid to Microsoft Excel, the date fields should have displayed in Excel using the local time from a user’s workstation, instead of the UTC time (Universal Time Coordinated).


Transaction Center >> Transaction Entry >> AP Disbursements


Defect 1347553: This issue occurred when you selected the Payments option and set the Payments to Autonumber field to Electronic Payments for the selected bank in the Bank Transactions grid in Settings » Accounting » Transactions. When you created an AP disbursement in Transaction Center » Transaction Entry » AP Disbursements, you could not enter a check number for the disbursement in the Payment field.


Transaction Center >> Transaction Entry >> AP Vouchers


Defect 1354109: On the AP Vouchers form in Transaction Entry, a voucher was missing the tax amount and tax code when the voucher was created from an approved AP invoice in Transaction Center » AP Invoice Approvals that had a tax amount. If you drilled down on the Tax Amount field on the AP Vouchers form in Transaction Entry, no tax amount or code displayed on the Tax Codes dialog box. When you tried to close the dialog box, you received a “Tax Codes are Required for AP Transactions” message. This occurred if you do not maintain separate balance sheets in Vantagepoint (Settings » Organization » General) and you did not require a project to be entered for AP vouchers.


Utilities >> Imports and Exports >> Desktop Imports


Defect 1293664: When you used the Import Utility form in the desktop application to import expense budgets, the decimal values of amounts in the import file were not imported into the budget records (which you could check on the Expense + Consultant Budget tab in Hubs » Projects » Budget). You had to import the file for expense budget a second time to correctly import the decimal values.


Utilities >> Imports and Exports >> Imports


Defect 1341591: The list of import fields that you can select for the contacts data import appeared to contain duplicates (for example, multiple City fields). This was confusing and made it difficult to tell which fields you should map your data to when importing contacts. This occurred because those fields actually do appear more than once in each record in the Contacts hub, but in different contexts. To resolve this issue, some of the field names in the import fields list have been changed to indicate more specifically the data you should map to them (for example, Firm City).


Utilities >> Periods


Defect 1357784: This issue applies if your firm is configured with more than 13 periods per year. When you tried to open a new period (on the Open New Period dialog box) after period 13, but within the number of periods per year established for your firm, an error message indicated that the new period did not fall within the allowed number of periods per year even when it did. For example, if you tried to open a period between 14 and 20, you received the following error message: "Period number must be between 1 and 20." 


Utilities >> Updates >> Refresh Billing Extensions


Defect 1347983: On the Refresh Billing Extensions utility form, the drop-down lists in the fields below the Range of accounting periods from option did not include all periods.


Utilities >> Updates >> Search and Replace


Defect 1352168: When you tried to replace the values in the Hours/Week fields of the Hours/Week Original column, you received the following error message: "Conversion from string "Wed Jan 01 2020 00:00:00 GMT+080" to type 'Date' is not valid."
