Updates to the New Costpoint Release Methodology for On-Premises Customers

This section provides the latest updates to the new Costpoint Release Methodology for On-Premises customers originally announced with the release of Costpoint 8.2 in June of 2023. The new release methodology allows the Costpoint team to deliver new features faster, while ensuring a higher level of quality and stability. 

As a reminder with the launch of Costpoint 8.2 in June of 2023, Deltek has moved to a Quarterly Release methodology. Quarterly Releases (QRs) will include new features, defect fixes, and regulatory updates. Deltek will continue to provide monthly Maintenance Releases (MRs), except for months when a QR is provided, which will include fixes for high severity defects and regulatory updates. Deltek will provide a separate release for the Calendar Year End (CYE) updates.

Costpoint 8.2 is referred to as Deltek’s Innovation Release and will adhere to the following Product Lifecycle Phases schedule (see Product Lifecycle Phase Descriptions). With the release of each Quarterly Release, the previous Quarterly Releases will move into Maintenance Support. Quarterly Releases will remain in Maintenance Release for nine months beyond their release date. After this nine-month period, they will move into Sustaining Support.

Costpoint 8.1 is referred to as Deltek’s Long-Term Support release and moved into Maintenance Support (see Support Lifecycle: Deltek Costpoint Product Family) on June 1st 2023 and will remain in Maintenance Support thru April 1st 2026. As a reminder, in Maintenance Support, Costpoint 8.1 will not receive any new features while continuing to receive new tax, legal, and regulatory updates and hot fixes for severity 1 issues. 

Costpoint 8.2 customers should apply, at a minimum, two QRs each calendar year. This allows for customers to skip a QR when planning their annual upgrade schedule. Following this upgrade schedule ensures customers can request individual hot fixes for critical defects.   

This information is also available in KB Article 114963.

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:

1. Go to People » Employee Self Service » Payroll and Benefits » State Withholding.

2. Populate the Credit Amount with the total allowance amount from line 6 of your 2024 IA W-4.

3. 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.

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.

Costpoint Authentication Provider (CAP) in Costpoint Business Intelligence

The deltek_cap_sql.properties file in Costpoint Authentication Provider (CAP) was updated to address the issue with Project Role Security in a multi-company setup. If you are an existing Costpoint Business Intelligence and CAP user, Deltek recommends that you reinstall CAP to get the latest files. You can see instructions in installing CAP in the Costpoint Business Intelligence 8.2.12 New User Installation Guide or the Costpoint Business Intelligence 8.2.12 Upgrade Installation Guide.
