Maryland 2022 Tax Updates

Maryland's 2022 withholding guide, revised March 2022 and effective January 2022, includes the following updates:

• The annual income threshold below which single employees and students are not subject to withholding also increases, from $12,400 to $12,550.

New Currency Code for Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone's currency, the Leone, has been redenominated by removing three zeros from the denominations. The new currency code representing the new valuation, SLE, was added to Vantagepoint in April 2022 and is available for any processing needs during the redenomination process. Both the old (SLL) and new (SLE) codes are now available on the Currency Options form (Settings » Currency » Options). The Deltek Vantagepoint API also supports both codes beginning in April 2022.

The Sierra Leonean currency will continue to be the Leone and this will not change after redenomination. However, SLE will eventually replace the old currency code, SLL, as the official currency code. The Bank of Sierra Leone will adopt the new code in the local system, but SLL will remain in use until further notice. During the transition period, both the old and new Leone will be in physical circulation for at least 90 days.

Upgrade Touch Server to PHP 8.1.4

The Touch Server for this version of the Vantagepoint mobile application has been upgraded to support PHP 8.1.4.

Private IP Addresses

The General tab of the Weblink utility now includes an Allow Private IP Addresses grid. Use this grid to enter and save a set of private IP addresses to use with the Weblink utility. Normally, any calls to outside webservices are blocked if their URL is in a private address space, but now any IP address in this grid will be allowed for calling webservices in PIM or in Workflow.

Update General Ledger API Endpoints for PSA Module to Support the FilterHash Functionality

The general ledger API endpoints for the Vantagepoint PSA module 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.

Billing Invoice, AP Voucher, and Expense Report Enhancements for Canadian and UK Customers

This enhancement applies only for the integration with Canadian and UK QuickBooks Online databases. Vantagepoint billing invoices, accounts payable vouchers, and expense reports that are added to QuickBooks Online during synchronization now allow for tax by line item, even when the tax amount is zero.

During synchronization between Vantagepoint and Canadian and UK QuickBooks Online databases, the following now occur:

• Vantagepoint billing invoices are added to QuickBooks Online. Billing invoices with tax have the required tax by line item. You no longer receive the “Item cannot be stored in QuickBooks” error message during integration.

• When Vantagepoint AP vouchers and expense reports with tax are added to QuickBooks Online, they have tax by line item.
