Deltek Vantagepoint 4.5.7 (Build 4.5.7.1557) Release Notes
 
Release Date: April 4, 2022
Last Updated: April 7, 2022


Welcome to the Deltek Vantagepoint 4.5.7 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 4.5, some of which your firm may not use. Skip the sections that do not apply to your implementation of Deltek Vantagepoint.


Important Notes


Microsoft SQL Server 2019

If you are running Microsoft SQL Server 2019, Vantagepoint 4.5.6 and later requires the latest SQL Server 2019 CU15. If you don’t have CU15 installed when you upgrade to Vantagepoint 4.5.6 or later, you will receive a message letting you know that it is required and setup will exit. Install SQL Server 2019 CU15 and then install Vantagepoint 4.5.7.


Enhancements


API


Update Master Record and Detail Record API Endpoints for Transaction Entries to Support the FilterHash Functionality

The master record and detail record API endpoints for transaction entries now support the filterHash functionality. The filterHash query string parameters allow you to limit results data further by supporting advanced filter options through the use of an encoded array of values.

For more information about the filterHash query string parameters, see the Deltek Vantagepoint API Reference documentation.


Project Information Management (PIM) Utility Integration Updates


Key Format Updates on Synced Project Records 

When you run the Key Format update utility in Utilities » Key Formats » Projects in Vantagepoint, the sync between project records in Vantagepoint and PIM is maintained. For example, if you run the key format utility to change the value in the project number Field Length field from five characters to seven, the utility changes both the project number in Vantagepoint and the corresponding project number in PIM.  

Key Conversion Updates on Synced Project Records

Similarly, when you run the Key Conversion update utility in Utilities » Key Conversions » Projects in Vantagepoint, the sync between project records in Vantagepoint and PIM is maintained. For example, if you run the key conversion utility to change the project number (on the Change Number tab of the Projects form in Key Conversions) from 12345 to 67890, the utility changes both the project number in Vantagepoint and the corresponding project number in PIM.

Prerequisites for Ensuring that the Updates Sync Correctly

To make sure that the key format or key conversion update syncs to PIM successfully, you complete two actions:

  1. On the Setup tab in Utilities » Integrations » PIM, you must select the Enable Sync to PIM option and select the relevant Projects hub charge type options (Regular, Overhead, and/or Promotional).

  2. To verify that you can connect from Vantagepoint to PIM, click the Test Connection button, which is located beside the PIM Shared Secret field at the top of the integration form.


Weblink Utility


Use a Read-Only Alternate Reporting Database for Resource Planning and Project Reports

This enhancement applies if you use the Vantagepoint on-premises product.

Previously, Resource Planning and Project reports that used a Planning budget source (specified in the report's options) ran against the OLTP database even if you set up an alternate reporting database in the Weblink utility. Now you can use a read-only alternate (replica) reporting database for these reports. To support this change, the fields below the Alternate Planning Temp Database check box on the Report Server tab in the Weblink utility have been updated.

Software Issues Resolved


Accounting >> Form 1099 Processing


Defect 1603462: In the 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC electronic files to submit to the IRS, some of the vendors were listed twice.


Defect 1610537: This issue occurred when you edited information for a vendor in a 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC work file and you selected the Corrected check box for the vendor. When you generated the electronic file with the 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC data, position 6 for the vendor should have showed G to indicate that it was a correction. Instead, position 6 was blank.


Accounting >> Labor Cross Charge


Defect 1601824: This issue occurred when you included in the Labor Cross Charge run information from employees who belonged to a dormant organization. When you clicked OK to continue the cross charge process, nothing happened and you received an error message.


Accounting >> Revenue Generation


Defect 1575307: This issue occurred when, on the Revenue Generation form, you clicked Update % and then clicked either Show Budget at Cost or Show Budget at Billing. If you then changed the overall percent complete for a project on the Update Percent Complete dialog box, the change was not saved.


API


Defect 1604306: When an empty string rather than a single space was passed for the WBS2 and WBS3 fields for the call that you made using the POST Create a Project API endpoint, your request was processed successfully. You should have had received the following error message instead: "Message": "Stage or Task cannot be blank."


Billing


Defect 1591128: When you generated invoices as PDF files, the invoices did not display the complete footer information that you had specified. This issue occurred when you entered information in the Invoice Footer field that exceeded the default number of lines for the invoice footer height.


Defect 1601593: This issue occurred when you set Fee Method to Percent Complete by Phase, as Percent of Fee at the project (WBS1) level in Billing Terms. Add-on fees entered at the project level were not correctly applied to billing phases that were posted by phase to phases/tasks. This caused the add-on amount to be omitted from the tax basis for calculating the tax on an invoice.


Billing >> Interactive Billing


Defect 1392330: This issue applies if you use billing groups and the Release Holds Automatically option is set to Yes in Settings » Billing » Options. In Interactive Billing, when you put transactions on hold for a subproject in a billing group and then accepted the invoice, the status for the transactions on hold should have automatically changed from Hold to Bill. Instead, the status of the transactions remained at Hold and you had to manually change the status to Bill.


Defect 1591347: On the Expenses tab in Interactive Billing, an AP voucher line item was missing from the Expenses grid. On the Project Detail report, the line item’s status showed as Final Billed and it should have showed as Billable. This issue occurred in the following scenario:

  1. In Hubs » Firms » Voucher Review, you opened the Voucher Details dialog box for the voucher line item.

  2. In the Billed Invoice field in the Voucher Line Items grid, you selected a billing invoice to associate with the voucher line item and saved this change.

On the Expenses tab in Interactive Billing, the expense was correctly not showing in the Expenses grid because it was now associated with an invoice.

  1. In Voucher Review, you removed the invoice for the voucher line item in the Billed Invoice field.

The line item should have displayed again on the Expenses tab in Interactive Billing and on the Project Detail report as a billable expense. Instead, it was missing from the Expenses tab in Interactive Billing and showed as Final Billed on the Project Detail Report.


Defect 1599724: On the Labor tab in Interactive Billing, you received an error message when you tried to write off a single line item in the Labor grid if it had no labor hours entered for it. (You should have been able to write it off.)


Defect 1599992: This issue occurred on the Units tab of the Interactive Billing form when you tried to modify the description of a billing unit. On the Billing Unit Modify dialog box, the Unit Table field either displayed None or a warning message saying that it was a required field, even when you selected a unit table.


Defect 1602874: On the Labor tab of the Interactive Billing form, when you used the filter option for the Transferred from Project field and then entered search parameters in the Transferred from Phase or Transferred from Task fields, the grid displayed similarly named phases and tasks that did not belong to the project.


Defect 1606024: When you added a contact with multiple email addresses as an email recipient of an invoice from Interactive Billing, the invoice was only sent to the first email address entered for the contact in the Contacts hub. This issue occurred when there was a space after the semicolon that separated the first email address from the other email addresses of the contact.


Defect 1608245: When you selected the Allocate Billed Revenue on Fee Invoices Based on Category option on the Fees tab in Billing Terms and you had duplicate billing phases and phase names for the project, the tax basis for an invoice was incorrect.


Defect 1612395: This issue occurred in Interactive Billing when you tried to send an email message with an invoice attached to it. On the Email Invoice dialog box, when you selected user-defined contact or employee project role fields as recipients, the email message was not sent successfully.


Defect 1613214: When you cleared the Show Non-Billables on Detail Tabs check box on the Billing Session Options dialog box in Interactive Billing, you could view only the total expense amounts, and not the billable expense transaction details, on the Expense tab.


Billing >> Interactive Billing and My Stuff >> Reporting


Defect 1561622: Timesheet comments that were entered manually in the Timesheet application displayed with a mix of different font types and sizes when you did the following:


Billing >> Invoice Approvals


Defect 1410208: If you tried to filter the contents of the Invoices grid on the Invoice Approvals form based on the Update By grid column, the filter drop-down list should have listed each name once so you could select the one that you wanted to filter by. Instead, it listed some names multiple times, making the selection list difficult to use.


Cash Management >> Credit Card Reconciliation


Defect 1578209: In List View, the record sorting in the grid on the Credit Card Reconciliation form did not change when you clicked the grid headers.


Cash Management >> Credit Card Review


Defect 1530238: This issue occurred when you set the Date Format to d/M/yyyy in My Preferences. When you navigated to Cash Management » Credit Card Review, set the Time Frame option to Statement Date Range, and specified a date range, you received an error message.


Cash Management >> Vendor Payments


Defect 1549653: This issue occurred when, in Payment Run Settings, you set the Payments to Include option to EFT Only. If the EFT type specified for a vendor did not match the one set up for the bank selected for the voucher, the Payments grid of the Vendor Payments form did not display any payments.


Defect 1593453: When you ran the Cash Requirements report, it showed amounts that were higher than the amounts included in the payment run. This issue occurred only for automatic payment runs.

Defect 1541516: This issue applies if you added a contact to an activity from a hub other than the Contacts hub. On the Contacts form, the Last Activity field in the Summary pane did not display the activity date when the contact was only added as an attendee, and not as the activity's owner or primary contact.

Hubs >> Firms >> Firms


Defect 1533794: This issue occurred if the field security for the Vendor Number field was locked for your security role (via the Field Security Rights Dialog box in Settings » General » Screen Designer).

Defect 1607587: When you entered a contact name in the Name field on the Contacts tab of the Firms hub or entered a contact name on the Search bar, fields populated with the first matched contact instead of providing a list of possible matched contact names based on the search parameters.

(To work around this, you had to change the Firms hub access rights of the role to Full and then change the access rights back to Add/Modify.) 


Defect 1611674: This issue occurred when you created a new role or copied an existing one. On the Access Rights tab of the Roles form, if you selected Functional Area » Favorite Reports before you selected Functional Area » Reports, the report names were blanked out.
