On-Premises Customer Notes

This section provides information specific to on-premises Costpoint customers, including release methodology updates, upgrade considerations, and guidance on applying and validating updates.

 

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

This section summarizes updates to the Costpoint Quarterly Release methodology for on-premises customers, first introduced with Costpoint 8.2 (June 2023). This approach helps Deltek deliver features more frequently while maintaining quality and stability.

Deltek delivers Quarterly Releases (QRs) that include new features, defect fixes, and regulatory updates. Calendar Year End (CYE) updates are delivered separately and are compatible with the current year’s Q2 release and later (Q3 and Q4).

Costpoint 8.2 (Deltek’s Innovation Release) follows Deltek’s Product Lifecycle Phases (see Product Lifecycle Phase Descriptions). Each QR is in Active Support for 3 months, then Maintenance Support for 6 months, before moving to Sustaining Support.

Upgrade expectations (on-premises)

To help accelerate upgrades, customers are encouraged to use Deltek-provided or alternative test automation tools. Learn more here.

As part of the Quarterly Release transition, Costpoint version numbers will reflect the year and quarter of release starting with 2025 Q1 (for example, 2025.1, 2025.2, and so on). See Support Lifecycle: Deltek Costpoint Product Family for the full release listing.

Regulatory Enhancements


Federal

1099 CSV Format for IRIS Submission

Costpoint now has the capability to export 1099 information into a CSV file for submission through IRIS. The IRS Information Returns Intake System (IRIS), introduced in 2025, will be the only intake system for FIRE-related forms once FIRE reaches its targeted retirement schedule on January 2027.

With this enhancement, you can generate IRIS-aligned CSV files for 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC directly from Costpoint using existing 1099 reporting logic, helping you prepare for upcoming IRS filing requirements as the transition away from FIRE approaches.

The export applies standard 1099 thresholds and withholding rules, and validates required recipient information before file creation. When record counts exceed IRS limits, Costpoint automatically generates multiple CSV files, helping ensure the output is ready for IRIS submission.

Note: For more information on IRIS, refer to https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-efile/iris-101-07292025.pdf.

 

Important Notes:

  

 

Manage Vendors (APMVEND)

Multiple enhancements have been added to the Manage Vendors screen to support the 1099 CSV file creation capability.

The screen has been updated with a new 1099 tab, where the former 1099’s group box from the Header tab has been relocated. In addition, the following recipient information fields have been added to this tab:

Recipient information is required so the IRS can identify the payee, match reported income to the correct taxpayer, and validate the tax information returns during electronic filing. These fields are validated during 1099 CSV creation.

In addition, all recipient information fields, along with the 1099 Type, Name fields, and the Print 1099 Form checkbox, are now available as query parameters. 

 

 

 Import Vendors (AOPUTLVU)

The Import Vendors screen has been enhanced to support importing recipient information required for 1099 CSV creation. The following new fields can now be included when importing vendor data:

Create 1099 Information (APP1099C)

Enhancements to the Create 1099 Information screen ensure that recipient information are stored with 1099 records to support IRIS-aligned CSV output. The following columns are now populated in the Vendor 1099 Information (VEND_1099) table during the 1099 creation process:

 

 

Edit 1099 Information (APM1099)

The Edit 1099 Information screen has been updated to display key recipient fields used for 1099 CSV creation. The following read-only fields have been added to help identify missing or incomplete data:

These fields can be queried and sorted to assist with data review prior to CSV generation.

 

 

Print/Create 1099s and Magnetic Media (APR1099)

The Print/Create 1099s and Magnetic Media screen has been enhanced with a new option to create a 1099 CSV file for IRIS filing. The following new screen elements have been added:

When you select Create CSV:

 

 

Print 1099 Edit Report (APR1099E)

The Print 1099 Edit Report has been updated to include recipient fields required for 1099 CSV creation. The following fields now display on the report:

These additions help identify missing recipient information that could prevent successful CSV file generation.

 

 

This enhancement requires the following:


401(k) Roth Catch-Up Deduction Sequencing

This enhancement enables Costpoint to apply sequenced withholding for 401(k) and 403(b) deductions so that standard contributions are fully applied before any Roth catch-up contributions are applied. This helps you ensure that employees receive the full intended tax benefits of standard retirement contributions and aligns payroll processing more closely with regulatory guidance under SECURE 2.0 Act.

You can enable this new functionality on the Configure Payroll Settings screen. When enabled, Costpoint suppresses catch-up deductions until the standard contribution limit is reached, then automatically routes excess amounts to designated Roth catch-up deductions within the same payroll. This feature applies to 401(k) and 403(b) plans.

Note: W-2 changes are not part of this Costpoint release and will follow in a future release.

 

Configure Payroll Settings (PRMPRSET)

Use this screen to enable and control catch-up deduction sequencing. The screen adds the Enable catch-up deduction sequencing checkbox to the Payroll Computation/Reporting Options group box. When you select the Enable catch-up deduction sequencing checkbox, Costpoint sequences 401(k) and 403(b) deductions so that standard contributions are applied before catch-up contributions.

Field

Description

Enable catch-up deduction sequencing

When selected, 401(k) deductions will automatically transition to Roth catch-up when the statutory limit is reached. This is unchecked by default.

 

Manage Deductions (PRMDED)

You can now define deduction types that support catch-up deduction sequencing. This release updates the Deduction Type field to support new catch-up deduction type codes for both standard and Roth plans. You can now assign deduction types that represent standard and Roth catch-up configurations for 401(k), 403(b), and 457(b) plans.

Manage Retirement Elections (AOMESSRB)

The application will prevent assigning more than one catch-up deduction for the same plan type. An error will display when multiple catch-up deductions exist for a single 401(k), 403(b), or 457(b) plan type.

A warning will display when a catch-up deduction is assigned without a corresponding base plan deduction.

 

Manage Employee Deductions (PRMEDED)

The application will prevent assigning more than one catch-up deduction for the same plan type. An error will display when multiple catch-up deductions exist for a single 401(k), 403(b), or 457(b) plan type.

A warning will display when a catch-up deduction is assigned without a corresponding base plan deduction.

 

Manage Employee Information (LDMEINFO)

On the Deductions subtask of the screen, the application will prevent assigning more than one catch-up deduction for the same plan type. An error will display when multiple catch-up deductions exist for a single 401(k), 403(b), or 457(b) plan type.

A warning will display when a catch-up deduction is assigned without a corresponding base plan deduction.

 

Compute Payroll (PRPCPR)

The Compute Payroll process will now automatically transition 401(k) and 403(b) deductions to Roth catch-up deductions when you select the Enable catch-up deduction sequencing checkbox on the Configure Payroll Settings screen.

Catch-up deductions remain configured at the employee level but are not calculated until you reach the 401(k) deferral limit on the Manage Federal Taxes (PRMFTI) screen. During the payroll in which the limit is exceeded, only the residual (excess amount) is applied to the catch-up deduction. In subsequent payrolls, the catch-up deduction is calculated based on its configured amount or percentage. This feature does not affect existing deduction calculation logic or limit enforcement, including the group limit.


OBBBA Overtime Report

Costpoint now allows you to report Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime information for One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) compliance using the Print Timesheet History Report screen. This enhancement allows you to identify employees’ FLSA overtime hours and premium amounts directly from historical timesheet data, which is useful if your organization does not use Costpoint Payroll.

You can access this functionality if you have appropriate permissions for the Labor module and labor reporting screens. The feature uses existing posted timesheet data and does not require additional setup beyond configuring applicable pay types. It is available to both Payroll and non-Payroll clients, with removed license restrictions for certain pay type settings. The report uses only historical timesheets and excludes recast overtime transactions, so you may need additional analysis for specific state rules.

 

Print Timesheet History Report (LDRTHFR)

This enhancement updates the Print Timesheet History Report application to include new OBBBA-specific report options. To support this feature, the following updates were applied:

Field

Description

Report Type

Select the type of report to print. Valid options are:

  • Timesheet History

  • Summary FLSA Overtime for OBBBA

  • Detail FLSA Overtime for OBBBA

 

Manage Pay Types (LDMPAYTP)

This enhancement updates the Manage Pay Types application to support OBBBA overtime reporting for all users. This means that non-Payroll clients can now configure overtime-related pay types. You can now select the new FLSA overtime (OBBBA) and Exclude hours from overtime recalculation (OBBBA) checkboxes regardless of Payroll license.

Field

Description

Overtime

Select this checkbox if this pay type is an overtime or premium-type of pay type.

Exclude hours from overtime recalculation

When licensed for Payroll, select this checkbox if hours associated with this pay type should be excluded when calculating the FLSA overtime hours for the employees’ W-2 as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) changes in 2025. The Recompute Taxable Wages screen uses this checkbox to determine if the pay type’s hours from the timesheet should be included when calculating FLSA overtime hours for states that calculate overtime hours on a daily basis. It is not used if a state calculates overtime based on 40 hours per week.

This checkbox is information only if your company does not have a Payroll license.

FLSA overtime (OBBBA)

Select this checkbox if any overtime hours associated with this pay type are based on a 40-hour work week.

If your company has a Payroll license, this checkbox is used by Recompute Taxable Wages when calculating FLSA overtime premium amounts for employees’ W-2’s as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) changes in 2025.

The checkbox is also used by the Timesheet History report to report on FLSA overtime hours and overtime premium amounts.

Michigan Q2 2026 SUTA Electronic Filing: MiUI EFW2 Updates

This enhancement updates Michigan SUTA electronic filing to comply with Version 2 of the MiUI EFW2 file format.

Create Quarterly SUTA Tax File (PRPSMM)

Use this screen to generate the quarterly SUTA tax file for Michigan with the updated EFW2 Version 2 format.

 

Manage SUTA Quarterly Reporting Data (PRMQRD)

Costpoint uses the Adjustment Reason value from this screen when determining the correct RS 344-345 output for Michigan filings. The Adjustment Reason Description of 00 was updated from “Original submission” to “Original submission of a record that does not include out of state wages.”

 

This enhancement requires patch dbc_820_12151.


Texas SUTA Electronic Filing: TxUS ICESA File Layout

Texas is transitioning to the TxUS unemployment insurance system, and Costpoint now supports generating the Texas wage report file using the new TxUS ICESA specifications. This enhancement helps you prepare Texas quarterly SUTA electronic filings that align with the updated TxUS layout while still supporting the existing ICESA format during the transition.

For Texas processing, Costpoint adds the TxUS ICESA file layout option and keeps ICESA as the default so you can continue filing during the transition period.

Note: The Texas Workforce Commission specifications are subject to change, and clients may still use the old format for Q1 2026 reporting depending on TxUS rollout timing.

 

Manage SUTA Tax File Data (PRMSMM)

On the Manage SUTA Tax File Data screen, you maintain Texas SUTA setup values used to generate ICESA output files, including transmitter contact details. When you select TX (Texas) as the SUTA State, the screen enables the E-mail field so you can provide the submitter email address used by the TxUS ICESA output file.

 

Create Quarterly SUTA Tax File (PRPSMM)

On this screen, you generate the quarterly SUTA tax file for Texas and choose the file layout used for ICESA output. The following are the updates for Texas processing:

Vermont Q2 2026 SUTA Electronic Filing

This enhancement updates Vermont Quarterly SUTA electronic filing to align with the state’s current ICESA file layout requirements for the modernized UI system. It updates Vermont-specific processing on the Create Quarterly SUTA Tax File and Manage SUTA Tax File Data screens so you can generate files that match the revised state format and reporting rules. The update also changes how Vermont employer account numbers, total hours worked, business status indicators, and other file elements are reported.

For Vermont, some controls are now unavailable because the state no longer requires or accepts those values in the same way. This enhancement applies only when the filing state is Vermont.

 

Manage SUTA Tax File Data (PRMSMM)

The Manage SUTA Tax File Data screen now applies Vermont-specific behavior for fields that are no longer used in the updated Vermont ICESA file layout. When you select VT (Vermont) as the filing state, the screen:

Enhancements


General

Opt-In Features

Note: The Opt-In capability is available to Costpoint Cloud Customers only.

As an administrator, use the new Opt-In capability to enable designated new features for your Costpoint users. Opt-In features are optional during a specific timeframe. In a future Costpoint release, the features will be enabled automatically for all users.

This enhancement supports testing by users in your company. When you enable an Opt-In feature in a sandbox database, you give your users the opportunity to experience how that feature will potentially impact their workflow, data, and application use. You control the timing of this testing, which can take place before you enable the feature in a production database and before the feature is automatically enabled for all users in a release.

During the opt-in timeframe, you can also disable most Opt-In features if necessary. Once the opt-in timeframe is complete, the features are automatically enabled in the subsequent Costpoint release. While some Opt-In features may have additional settings or security to enable, most will become standard in the product.

Enable and disable the Opt-In features during the opt-in timeframe in the Manage Opt-In Features (SYMFEATURE) application in Costpoint.

The following Costpoint 2026.3 features include the option to opt-in:

Attention: See Costpoint Opt-In Features for more information.

Throughout the Costpoint content, the Opt-In feature topics will be identified with the following label: (Opt-In Available).

In addition, the opt-in feature topics will include the following statement:

Note: For Costpoint Cloud, you can choose to opt in to this feature for the Costpoint 2026.3 release. The ability to opt in is temporary and will be removed when the feature becomes automatically enabled for all users as part of a future Costpoint release. For more information, see the Opt-In Features section of these release notes.

For more information about Costpoint’s Opt-In capability, see Knowledge Base article #115359 in the Deltek Customer Care Knowledge Base.


Command Center

Agentic Financial Close Phase 2

Command Center’s Agentic Financial Close tab now provides a centralized view of project product and customer product bills that Dela flagged for manual review. Click the flagged count on the Review Customer Product Bills and Review Project Product Bills summary cards to open the Exceptions report on a new tab, where you can view detailed records requiring your attention. From this report, you can also drill through to the Manage Customer Product Bills and Manage Project Product Bills screens. 

Note: To enable Dela to automatically review bills, configure the settings in the Dela Defaults group box on the Configure Billing Settings screen. Assessment results are displayed on the Dela tab of the relevant Costpoint screens. 

In addition, the new Financial Anomaly Analysis summary card highlights the income statement and balance sheet anomalies detected by Dela. You can click the Financial Statement Line field on the drill report to open the Financial Anomaly Analysis application. 

Note: To learn more about Costpoint’s financial anomaly detection process, refer to the Run Financial Anomaly Detection online help topic. 


Buyer Command Center

The Buyer Command Center is now available and includes a Purchase Orders (PO) dashboard tab that consolidates unpaid POs into a single, status-based view. You can review and prioritize POs across the following key stages:  

Two-way match POs are excluded from Pending Receipt and Pending Inspection statuses to ensure accurate classification. The dashboard also excludes Void and Closed POs and displays only POs assigned to you for a more focused review.  

In addition, the table is sorted by POs with the highest number of Overdue Lines to support timely follow-up. Click the PO ID field to open the Manage Purchase Orders screen. You can also open a drill report to view PO line details. 

Note: To access the Buyer Command Center, you must be assigned to the CC__BUYER user group using the Manage Users application. 


Command Center Grid Enhancements

The following updates were made to the grid interface across all Command Center tabs to improve usability:


Improved Drill Link Capabilities from Command Center to Costpoint

The Command Center now supports cascading queries, enabling you to open Costpoint applications with both header-level and refined detail-level filters applied. For example, when you open the Closing Plan application from the Closing Manager dashboard tab, Costpoint retrieves the active closing plan and filters the Tasks subtask by Assigned User and Status. This improves navigation from Command Center to targeted data sets within Costpoint screens that require multi-level query context. 


Streamlined Command Center Module Rights Access

All existing Command Center user groups now automatically include access to the Command Center module, removing the need to assign module rights separately. This update applies to the following user groups: 

User Group ID

User Group Name

CC__ACCOUNTANT 

Command Center Accountant

CC__AI_CLOSE_ANALYST 

Command Center AI Close Analyst 

CC__BUYERS

Command Center Buyer

CC__PJ_PLAN_ANALYST

Command Center Project Analyst

CC__TE_MGR

Command Center T&E Manager 


Accounting

Automated Journal Entry Posting

Costpoint now has the capability to automatically post approved journal entries. This enhancement streamlines journal entry processing by reducing manual posting steps and provides visibility into unsuccessful posting attempts and results across journal entry maintenance, approval, inquiry, and posting applications.

 

 

Configure General Ledger Settings (GLMSETNG)

The Configure General Ledger Settings screen now includes the Allow Auto Posting checkbox on the Approval Settings subtask. Use this checkbox to enable automatic posting for each journal entry type. It is available only when Approval Required is selected.

A new Batch Job Email Notification subtask has also been added, which allows you to configure email notifications for unsuccessful General Ledger batch jobs. This subtask includes the following fields:

 

 

Manage Journal Entries (GLMJE) and Approve Journal Entries (GLMJEA)

The Manage Journal Entries and Approve Journal Entries screens now automatically submit approved journal entries when the auto posting feature is enabled for the journal entry type. 

When you approve and save a journal entry, Costpoint displays a message confirming that the approved  journal entry has been submitted for posting. In the background, Costpoint runs the Post Journal Entry process and passes the journal entry’s fiscal year, period, subperiod, and journal entry number, with Allow Out of Balance Posting cleared by default. 

 

 

Post Journal Entries (GLPJE) 

The Post Journal Entries screen now identifies journal entries processed through auto posting by checking the JE_HDR_HS_AUTO_POST_LOG table. Journal entries posted automatically are excluded from the manual posting process.

 

 

View Journal Entries (GLQJEI) 

The View Journal Entries screen now includes a Journal Entries selection range that allows you to filter results by journal entry number. You can choose to display all journal entries, a single journal entry, or a range of journal entries.

 

 

Print Posted Journal Entries (GLRPOST)

Costpoint now provides the Print Posted Journal Entries screen, which allows you to print a report for journal entries that have been posted. You can access this screen in General Ledger » Journal Entry Processing » Approvals and Posting.

The printed output uses the same format as the report generated by the Post Journal Entries screen.

Use this screen to print or reprint posted journal entries without having to rerun the Post Journal Entries screen.

You can filter the records to be included in the report by: 


Draft Mode for Accounts Payable Vouchers

Costpoint introduces the ability to save Accounts Payable vouchers as drafts. This functionality allows you to distinguish vouchers that are still being worked on from those that are finalized and ready for approval or posting. 

Vouchers saved as drafts remain editable, while submitted vouchers can trigger Dela’s automated approval workflow or be processed through manual approval. This functionality establishes the foundation for future automated posting capabilities.

 

 

Configure Accounts Payable Voucher Settings (APMSETVR)

A new checkbox, Create New A/P Vouchers in Draft Status, is now available on the Configure Accounts Payable Voucher Settings screen.

When you select this checkbox, newly entered Accounts Payable vouchers are created with an Entry Status of Draft, and the voucher submission workflow is enabled. To prevent unintended approval of draft vouchers, Costpoint disables the Approved checkbox in Manage Accounts Payable Vouchers.

If the draft feature is disabled, newly entered vouchers are created as Submitted and are routed through your configured approval process, if applicable.

 

 

Manage Accounts Payable Vouchers (APMVCHR)

The Manage Accounts Payable Vouchers screen now supports the entry and maintenance of draft vouchers and indicates whether a voucher has been submitted. 

When the draft feature is enabled, the following screen elements display: 

For submitted vouchers that have not been posted, the Submit button changes to Unsubmit. Click Unsubmit to revert the voucher as a draft, allowing you to make additional changes before resubmitting the voucher.

When the draft functionality is enabled, vouchers that you enter or create from other Costpoint screens are created as drafts and remain editable until submitted.

If Require Approvals is selected in Configure Accounts Payable Voucher Settings and the voucher amount exceeds the value entered in Approval Required Above:

 

 

Approve Vouchers (APMVCHRA)

The Approve Vouchers screen has been enhanced to exclude draft Accounts Payable vouchers from the approval process when the draft feature is enabled.

 

 

Reverse Posted Vouchers (APPREVVR)

When you reverse posted vouchers, Costpoint sets the Entry Status of the reversed vouchers to Submitted, maintaining the existing behavior that reversed vouchers cannot be modified.  

Approval details are populated based on the setting of the Approve Vouchers checkbox at the time you run the reversal process. 

The following table describes how the Entry Status and approval details are populated for reversed vouchers:

Approve Vouchers

Print Voucher Edit Report (APRVCHR)

The Print Voucher Edit Report screen now includes an Entry Status group box containing the Draft and Submitted checkboxes.

Use these checkboxes to filter vouchers to be included in the report by Entry Status. The checkboxes are selected and disabled by default. They become enabled when you select Unposted Only in the Posting Status group box.

The selected Entry Status options also display in the report output.

 

 

Print Pending Vouchers Report (APRPEND) 

When you print a Pending Vouchers report, only submitted vouchers are included in the output.

 


View Voucher History Inquiry (APQVCHRH)

The View Voucher History Inquiry screen now includes the Entry Status field in the Voucher History Table window. This field displays only when you select Include Unposted Vouchers

For unposted vouchers, the field displays Draft or Submitted. For posted vouchers, this field is blank.

 

 

Import Accounts Payable Vouchers (AOPUTLAP) and Import Accounts Payable Multicurrency Vouchers (AOPUTLAM) 

When you import vouchers using these screens, Costpoint sets the Entry Status for each voucher after the import process completes. If the draft feature is enabled, imported vouchers are created with an Entry Status of Draft. If the draft feature is disabled, imported vouchers are created with a Submitted status in the database, but the Entry Status field does not display in Manage Accounts Payable Vouchers.

 

 

Create Recurring Accounts Payable Vouchers (APPRECVR) 

When you create recurring Accounts Payable vouchers, Costpoint assigns a default Entry Status for the new vouchers. If the draft feature is enabled, vouchers are created with an Entry Status of Draft. If the draft feature is disabled, vouchers are created with a Submitted status in the database, and Costpoint assigns approval details based on the current approval setup, including manual approval and Dela approval.  

However, the Entry Status field does not display in Manage Accounts Payable Vouchers when the draft feature is disabled.

 

 

Import TE Expenses/Advances (AOPUTLTE) 

When you import records using this screen, Costpoint sets the Entry Status and approval details for vouchers created by the import based on the Mark Vouchers as Approved checkbox selection and whether the draft feature and approval options are enabled in Configure Accounts Payable Voucher Settings.

The following table describes how the voucher Entry Status is populated when the voucher is created:

Create Accounts Payable Vouchers (PRPAPVCH) and Post IWO Journal (IWPPOST)

When you run the Create Accounts Payable Voucher screen in the People domain or the Post IWO Journal screen in the Projects domain, Costpoint sets a default Entry Status for the vouchers created from these screens.

If the draft feature is enabled, new vouchers are created as drafts. Otherwise, their status defaults to Submitted.


Draft Mode for Purchase Order Vouchers

Costpoint introduces the ability to save PO vouchers as drafts. This functionality allows you to distinguish vouchers that are still being worked on from those that are finalized and ready for approval or posting. 

PO vouchers saved as drafts remain editable, while submitted vouchers can trigger Dela’s automated approval capability or be processed through manual approval.

 

 

Configure Purchase Order Voucher Settings (POMAPSET)

A new checkbox, Create New PO Vouchers in Draft Status, is now available on the Configure Purchase Order Voucher Settings screen.

When you select this checkbox, newly created PO vouchers are created with a Status of Draft, and the voucher submission workflow is enabled. To prevent unintended approval of draft vouchers, Costpoint disables the Approved checkbox in Manage Purchase Order Vouchers.

If you leave the Create New PO Vouchers in Draft Status checkbox cleared, newly created PO vouchers are assigned a Status of Submitted and are routed directly through your configured approval process, if applicable.

 

 

Manage Purchase Order Vouchers (POMPOVCH)

The Manage Purchase Order Vouchers screen now supports the entry and maintenance of draft PO vouchers and indicates whether a PO voucher has been submitted.

To support this functionality, the following screen elements are available when Create New PO Vouchers in Draft Status is selected in Configure Purchase Order Voucher Settings:

When the draft functionality is enabled, PO vouchers that you enter or that are created from other Costpoint screens will default to Draft status. Draft PO vouchers remain editable until they are submitted.

If the draft functionality is disabled, the Status field and Submit/Unsubmit buttons are hidden, and PO vouchers default to Submitted status in the database.

 

 

Approve Vouchers (APMVCHRA)

The Approve Vouchers screen has been enhanced to exclude PO vouchers with a Status of Draft.

Only PO vouchers with a Submitted status are available for approval.

 

 

PO Voucher Status Assignment from Approved Invoices

When PO vouchers are created from invoices approved through the following screens, Costpoint sets the voucher Status based on the Create New PO Vouchers in Draft Status setting in Configure Purchase Order Voucher Settings:

If the draft feature is enabled, newly created PO vouchers will default to Draft status.

Otherwise, newly created PO vouchers default to Submitted status and can proceed directly to the approval process, either through Dela’s automated approval workflow or through manual approval, when applicable.

 

 

PO Voucher Status Assignment from Creation Screens

When you import or create PO vouchers using the following screens, Costpoint sets the Status for each voucher based on whether Create New PO Vouchers in Draft Status is selected in Configure Purchase Order Voucher Settings:

If the draft feature is enabled, newly created PO vouchers default to Draft status. Otherwise, the vouchers default to Submitted status in the database.


Fiscal Year and Period Support for Bank Reconciliation

This feature enhances bank reconciliation processing by adding fiscal year, period, and subperiod support across bank statement entry, bank transaction acceptance, inquiries, and bank reconciliation reports. You can associate bank statements and cleared bank transactions with specific accounting periods and view reconciliation results and reports by either statement date range or accounting period.

 

 

Manage Bank Statement Information (GLMSTMT)

You can now assign fiscal year, period, and subperiod values to bank statements using new fields added to the Bank Statement Info Detail table window:

When you enter a Bank Statement Ending Date, Costpoint automatically defaults the fiscal year, period, and subperiod based on the accounting period that includes the ending date. When you upload a bank statement, Costpoint uses the ending date from the upload to as default values for these fields.

You can modify the fiscal year, period, and subperiod, and enter values regardless of whether the Bank Statement Ending Date falls within the selected combination. 

This update does not modify existing records. If the Fiscal Year, Period, and Subperiod fields were not previously populated, you must manually enter the values. Manual entry is required only if you already enabled the Enhanced Bank Reconciliation feature in Costpoint 2025.3. Otherwise, the fields are automatically populated. 

 

 

Accept Bank Transactions (New) (GLMACPTN)

Fiscal year, period, and subperiod information have been added to the Accept Bank Transactions (New) screen.

In the GL Transactions table window, the following fields are now available:

In the Bank Statement table window, the following fields are now available:

Fiscal year, period, and subperiod values default from the Date Cleared based on the accounting period in which the date falls. These fields are required and can be edited to populate missing cleared period information. The new fields are available for query selection.

 

 

Transfer Plaid Bank Transactions (CMPPLDDAT)

Plaid-imported bank transactions now include accounting period information.

When a new bank statement record is created from a Plaid import, the fiscal year, period, and subperiod for the transaction are populated based on the bank statement ending date.

The populated values are stored in both the BANK_ACCT_END_BAL and BANK_ACCT_STMT_DTL tables.

 

 

Accounting Period Selection Option for Reports

You now have a new option for filtering records included in bank statement and bank transaction inquiry and reports.

A Date Type group box has been added to multiple inquiry and reporting screens, allowing you to specify whether records are retrieved by Accounting Period or Statement Date Range

When you select Accounting Period, use the Fiscal Year, Period, and Subperiod (Costpoint Advanced only) fields, added in the Selection Ranges group box, to specify the accounting period to be used to retrieve inquiry or report data. Report headers also reflect the statement end date and the selected fiscal year, period, and subperiod.

This enhancement has been applied to the following screens:

 

 

Process Bank Transaction Acceptances (GLPBATCH)

The Fiscal Year, Period, and Subperiod (Costpoint Advanced only) fields have been restored in the Bank Acceptance Info group box and are required when you process bank transaction acceptances.

When you enter a Date, Costpoint automatically populates the fiscal year, period, and subperiod based on the accounting period in which the date falls. 

If you delete the values of these fields and run the process, an error displays.

 

 

Accept Bank Transactions (GLMACPT)

The old Accept Bank Transactions screen is no longer available. All bank transaction acceptances must be processed using Accept Bank Transactions (New) (GLMACPTN).


Period Status Change Tracking

Costpoint now monitors and records changes to the status of accounting periods, subperiods, and the journal entry code statuses associated with them when you update and save or close periods in the following General Ledger screens: 

Changes are written to audit log tables, along with the previous and new values, the user who made the change, and the timestamp.

 

 

Manage Accounting Periods (GLMPD)

When you save changes on this screen, Costpoint logs status change details in the following tables:


Manage Subperiods (GLMSUBPD)

When you save changes on this screen, Costpoint logs status change details in the following tables:


Close Periods (GLPCLOSE)

When you successfully close a period, Costpoint logs the resulting status changes, depending on which accounting periods, subperiods, and journal entry code statuses are affected. It also sets the Status of all journal codes in that period to Closed for each affected company and adds audit log rows for each company/journal code combination. These changes are recorded in the following audit log tables: 


AI PO Voucher Automated Approvals - Additional Enhancements

This feature allows you to use Dela to create a purchase order from a requisition and complete the process without manually creating the PO on the Create Purchase Orders screen.

Note: This enhancement is coded under Opt-In Feature 2411396 which is dependent on Feature 2307499 in the Opt-In tool and both are automatically enabled in Costpoint 2026.4. 

 

 

Import Purchase Order Vouchers

This application now supports AI-assisted approval when imported PO vouchers meet the required conditions. If AI approval is enabled and the voucher qualifies, Costpoint can automatically approve the voucher or recommend it for approval. The voucher record also stores AI review details such as approval description, confidence level, date and time, and reason. 


Approve PO Invoices (POMAINVC)

You can now use AI-assisted auto-approval for PO vouchers created from supplier-approved and internally approved PO or subcontractor invoices.

This change also applies to the following screens:

 

 

 

Recompute and Print Discrepancies (POPPOVCH)

These applications now use AI-assisted approval logic when creating PO vouchers. When the voucher qualifies, Costpoint can approve it automatically or recommend it for approval, depending on user setup. The applications also update the DELA result fields and support the same notification and manual review behavior used in other voucher approval flows.

This change also applies to the following screens:

 

 

 

This change requires the following:


Intelligent Character Recognition for Creating PO Vouchers

Costpoint now supports creating purchase order vouchers using Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) and Content Management Integration (CMI). This enhancement lets you attach and scan PO invoices and have Costpoint automatically extract invoice data and load it into a new PO voucher. This feature reduces manual data entry while ensuring that existing purchase order validations and matching rules continue to apply.

 

 

Manage Purchase Order Vouchers (POMPOVCH)

When the Manage Purchase Order Vouchers screen is set up with the CMI functionality, the Attach & Scan option becomes available in the Attach drop-down list. This option allows you to upload and scan a PO invoice and automatically populate PO voucher fields using extracted invoice data.

When you scan an invoice, Costpoint extracts the following information:

Costpoint displays the extracted invoice information in a Scan Results pop-up, where you can review and update the data before creating a voucher. Some extracted details, such as invoice line quantities and unit prices, are not displayed in the initial scan results view but are loaded onto the PO voucher when you apply the scan results.

When you click Apply in the Scan Results pop-up, Dela then processes the extracted invoice data and determines whether a PO voucher can be created.

Dela performs the following checks using existing Costpoint logic:

Note: If no packing slip and/or receipt ID is provided, Costpoint searches and loads all available receipts associated with the purchase order.

During matching, Dela evaluates:

All other existing validations that apply when manually creating and saving a PO voucher also apply when vouchers are loaded through ICR.

 

Validation Messages

Costpoint may display the following messages if it encounters issues during processing:

Condition

Type

Message

Behavior

Purchase Order is already closed

Warning

This Purchase Order is already closed.

Costpoint still allows data to be populated on the screen. This is an existing validation and behavior.

Purchase Order ID or release does not exist in the PO_HDR table

Error

Purchase Order / Release does not exist.

Costpoint does not load any information on the screen.

Vendor name on the PO invoice does not match the vendor for the PO ID

Warning

Vendor Name on the PO Invoice does not match the Vendor Name associated to the Purchase Order.

Costpoint does not populate the vendor from the scanned invoice. Instead, it populates the vendor associated with the purchase order.

Receipt ID does not exist for the purchase order

Warning

Receipt ID is not linked to the specified Purchase Order.

Costpoint does not load the receipt ID or any receipt details on the screen.

Packing slip does not exist for the purchase order

Warning

Packing Slip is not linked to the specified Purchase Order.

Costpoint does not load the receipt ID or any receipt details on the screen.

 

 

 

 

 

Costpoint automatically creates the PO voucher and assigns a Draft or Submitted status based on whether the draft feature is enabled. If approval is required, Costpoint can trigger Dela’s automatic approval or route the voucher through the manual approval workflow.

 

This enhancement requires the following:


Capture & Contracts

Assessment Ratings (Opt-In Available)

Note: For Costpoint Cloud, you can choose to opt in to this feature for the Costpoint 2026.3 release. The ability to opt in is temporary and will be removed when the feature becomes automatically enabled for all users as part of a future Costpoint release. For more information, see the Opt-In Features section of these release notes.

Costpoint now allows you to exclude selected rating codes from performance score calculations. This update provides more control over how assessment scores are calculated by ensuring that only applicable factors impact the results.

The following applications have been updated for this enhancement.

 

Manage Performance Rating Codes (CTMCART)

You can now select the new Exclude From Calculation checkbox for each rating code. When this checkbox is selected, any assessment factor that uses the rating code is excluded from the overall assessment score.

A new Update Contracts button is now also available on this screen to apply changes made to the Exclude From Calculation checkbox. When you modify the Exclude From Calculation value for a rating code, Costpoint displays a prompt reminding you to save your changes and click Update Contracts to apply the updates. Clicking Update Contracts updates all contract records that use the modified rating code and recalculates scores across the following levels in Manage Contracts:

 

Manage Contracts (CTMCNTR)

On the Assessment Details subtask of the Performance Ratings tab, each factor now includes an Exclude From Calculation checkbox. The checkbox defaults to the value defined for the rating code on the Manage Performance Rating Codes screen and cannot be edited in Manage Contracts. To modify this setting, update it in Manage Performance Rating Codes.

When an assessment factor is excluded, Costpoint removes it from the score and recalculates the percentage automatically. Updates are reflected immediately on both 

The field label in Assessment Details has also been updated from Total Score to Section Total Score.

 

Calculation Behavior

Some rating codes (such as Not Applicable (NA), Insufficient Data, or similar values) are informational and are not intended to affect scoring.

Previously, all responses were included in the calculation, which could lower the overall score even when certain factors were not applicable.

With this update, excluded rating codes do not contribute to the score. As a result:

This behavior is particularly relevant for organizations that must record responses for compliance or audit purposes without affecting scoring.

For example, a contract includes five assessment factors, each worth 10 points. One factor is marked Not Applicable (NA) with a score of 0.

The NA factor remains in the calculation and contributes 0 points.

Result: 25 out of 50 = 50%

Costpoint removes the factor from the calculation.

Result: 25 out of 40 = 60%

In this scenario, excluding the NA factor prevents it from lowering the overall score.


CPARS Creation Agent (Opt-In Available)

Note: For Costpoint Cloud, you can choose to opt in to this feature for the Costpoint 2026.3 release. The ability to opt in is temporary and will be removed when the feature becomes automatically enabled for all users as part of a future Costpoint release. For more information, see the Opt-In Features section of these release notes.

This enhancement extends Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) functionality in Manage Contracts by introducing AI-based extraction of CPARS documents and expanding the Performance Assessment data model. Uploaded CPARS documents can be scanned to populate structured assessment fields, reducing manual data entry.

 

AI-Based CPARS Data Extraction

You can upload CPARS documents using the Attach & Scan option in Manage Contracts. PDFs are supported (image format only). Costpoint performs the following logic:

 

Performance Assessment Tab Updates

The Performance Assessment tab includes new and updated fields to support structured CPARS data:

 

New Other Areas Details Subtask

A new Other Areas Details subtask on the Performance Assessment tab captures evaluation factors not included in standard assessment categories.

 

Manage Application/Content Links (SYMCMIAL)

This update adds a new ICR Scan Type drop-down list to this screen to support scan routing for different AI-driven document processing scenarios.

ICR Scan Type allows administrators to specify which scanning prompt is invoked when documents are processed using the Attach & Scan functionality on the Manage Contracts screen. Valid values include:

This new drop-down list displays only when the Show Scan button checkbox is selected in Manage Application/Content Links. The CPARS option is available only if CTMCNTR is selected in the Application field. 


Proposal Generation Agent for Government Solicitations (Opt-In Available)

Note: For Costpoint Cloud, you can choose to opt in to this feature for the Costpoint 2026.3 release. The ability to opt in is temporary and will be removed when the feature becomes automatically enabled for all users as part of a future Costpoint release. For more information, see the Opt-In Features section of these release notes.

Costpoint includes an AI-enabled proposal generation agent that helps you process government solicitation documents and create structured, compliant proposal content.

The agent uses AI and Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) to ingest solicitation files, such as Requests for Proposal (RFPs) and amendments, extract key requirements, and generate a structured proposal outline with annotations. You can then assign contributors, draft content in Microsoft Word, and track proposal progress through approval workflows.

This capability reduces manual effort when reviewing solicitation documents, creating outlines, organizing requirements, and coordinating proposal development.

A new application has been added, and several existing applications have been updated to support this enhancement.

To use this functionality, follow this general procedure:

1. Define proposal settings on the Configure Opportunity/Proposal Settings, Manage Contract Management Roles, Manage Contract Management Document Types, and Manage Capture Stages screens. 

2. Use the Manage Opportunity Proposals screen to create a proposal, upload solicitation documents, generate the outline, assign sections, and notify contributors.

3. Use the Costpoint Word add-in to draft content, submit sections for approval, and review, approve, or reject sections.

4. Track section and proposal status in Manage Opportunity Proposals.

Attention: For more details about this enhancement as well as on the step-by-step procedure on using the agent, see Proposal Generation Agent in the Costpoint online help.


Manage Opportunity Proposals (CTMPROP)

This enhancement introduces the Manage Opportunity Proposals application, a new workspace for creating, structuring, and managing proposals generated from government solicitation documents.

Note: This application requires the separate PL (Manage Opportunity Proposals) add-on license in addition to the CTM (Capture & Contracts) module license.

Manage Opportunity Proposals integrates AI-driven outline generation, contributor assignment, document management, and workflow tracking into a single interface.

This application supports the full proposal lifecycle:

Costpoint automatically updates proposal status based on section-level progress and workflow activity.

You can link proposals to opportunity records. When linked, Costpoint synchronizes key data between the opportunity and proposal to maintain alignment throughout the capture and proposal process.

When creating and managing proposals, note the following: 

To access this new screen, go to Capture & Contracts » Opportunities » Manage Opportunity Proposals.


Manage Opportunities (CTMOPP)

This enhancement introduces proposal integration within the Manage Opportunities application.

On the main screen, the following fields have been added:

On the Status tab, the Stage field has been renamed to Capture Stage

On the RFP Info tab, the RFP Dates fields have been reformatted into four columns. These dates now synchronize with the proposal when a proposal is linked to the opportunity.

On the Team tab, a new Email column has been added to the Opportunity Employee Team subtask. Information on this subtask now populates the Proposal Team subtask in Manage Opportunity Proposals when a proposal is linked to the opportunity.

On the GovWin IQ subtask of the main screen, the following changes have been made:

On the Documents subtask of the main screen, when a proposal is linked to the opportunity, documents associated with that proposal also display on this subtask. If the Include in Outline checkbox is selected for a document in Manage Opportunity Proposals, you cannot delete that document from the Documents subtask in Manage Opportunities.


Import GovWin IQ Data (CTPIQDAT)

Integration has been updated to populate the new GovWin IQ URL field added to the GovWin IQ subtask in Manage Opportunities.


Configure Opportunity/Proposal Settings (CTMOPSET)

Previously labeled as Configure Opportunity Settings, this application has been renamed to Configure Opportunity/Proposal Settings to reflect the addition of proposal-related functionality.

A new Proposal Settings group box allows you to configure how proposals are created and managed. You can enable automatic assignment of proposal IDs for records created on the Manage Opportunity Proposals or require manual entry. You can also restrict users to viewing only the proposal sections assigned to them.

You can specify the default location for generated proposal documents and select the template file used when creating proposal documents.

In the Label Settings section, a new Proposal Date column has been added. This column is enabled only for RFP Dates 1–12 and allows you to designate a date as either a Proposal Due Date or an Award Date. Only one RFP Date can be assigned to each option. If you assign more than one RFP Date to either the Proposal Due Date or Award Date, Costpoint displays an error message.


Manage Contract Management Roles (CTMROLES)

Use the new Proposal Access column on this screen to define what each role can do in the opportunity proposal workflow. Valid options are:

These permissions apply to both the Manage Opportunity Proposals application and the Costpoint Word add-in.

Because users can be assigned multiple roles, access can vary by section. For example, you can have Edit access to one section as a technical writer and Full/Approver access to another section as a proposal manager.


Manage Contract Management Document Types (CTMDOCTP)

This application has been renamed from Manage Document Types to Manage Contract Management Document Types

The screen now also has the new Proposal Default checkbox, which allows you to mark a document type as the default for proposal-related documents. Only one document type can be set as the proposal default at a time. By default, this checkbox is selected for the RFP document type, but you can change it. Costpoint uses the selected document type during proposal processing, including when creating proposal documents and handling proposal-related files.


Manage Capture Stages (CTMSTAGE)

Manage Opportunity Stages has been renamed to Manage Capture Stages to reflect broader capture process support, aligning stage management not just for opportunities but also for proposal workflows introduced in this enhancement.

The following system-defined stage codes have also been added to this screen:

In addition, the Grouped Stage Name column has been renamed to BI Stage Name.


Approve Prospective Customers (CTMCUSTA)

When you approve a prospective customer, Costpoint now updates all associated proposals to use the newly created active customer ID. This process runs automatically when the record is saved with an Approved status.

Only the Customer ID on the Manage Opportunity Proposals screen is updated; all the other data are not affected. 


Manage User Groups (SYMGRP)

Two user groups have been to support proposal workflows:


Microsoft Word Integration (Costpoint Word Add-in)

The Costpoint Word Add-in enables proposal contributors and approvers to work directly in Microsoft Word while remaining connected to Costpoint.

The add-in includes a dedicated ribbon tab and side panel that mirror key functionality in Manage Opportunity Proposals, allowing users to perform proposal-related tasks without leaving Word.

You can:


Framework

'Have an Idea?' Option in Ask Dela Interface

A new "Have an Idea?" offering has been added to the Ask Dela interface, allowing you to submit suggestions for improving Dela. This feature provides a streamlined way to capture Dela-related feedback from users who may not have access to the Idea Portal. In-App Guidance must be enabled to use this feature. You can enable In-App Guidance on the In-App Guidance tab in Configure System Settings.


Breadcrumb Navigation Enhancement

Breadcrumb navigation has improved navigation efficiency. When enabled via the Screen Configuration Panel under the avatar image, breadcrumbs allow you to click on a specific breadcrumb to open the navigation menu and focus on the selected area. Hovering over a breadcrumb displays a copy icon, enabling you to copy the full breadcrumb path. This setting is stored per device for personalized usage.


Dela AI Package

Deltek introduces the Dela AI Package which provides support for Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling Dela to operate as both a client and a server when connecting with external AI tools and platforms. It also includes the AI Agents Framework in the Extensibility Tool, giving users the ability to build custom AI agents, integrate AI-driven capabilities, and extend AI functionality within Costpoint.

 

With this enhancement, organizations can extend Costpoint beyond its core functionality by enabling external AI solutions to interact with Dela, supporting more connected, cross-platform AI workflows.


Domain-Based Passkey Support

Costpoint 2026.3 supports domain-based passkeys, so users can use the same passkey across Costpoint environments or URLs within the same domain. Previously, passkeys were tied to a specific URL, which could require users to create a new passkey when switching environments or when a URL changed. No administrator setup is required; if needed, users are prompted to register or update their passkey during sign-in.


Enable Web Services in Costpoint

Costpoint 2026.3 adds the Manage Web Services (SYMWIC) screen, which provides a faster way to make Costpoint applications available as Data Web Services. You can select an application and create import or export web services based on the operations the application supports, instead of configuring each endpoint in the Web Integration Console. 

Use export web services to read data from Costpoint and import services to add or update records. For example, if the Manage Project User Flow (PJMBASIC) screen supports reading, adding, and updating project records, you can make it available as an export service to retrieve project data and as an import service to create or update project records. 

The Manage Web Services screen makes the full selected application available as a web service, including its supported subtasks and fields. It also shows applications already available as web services, including the integration method ID, module ID, and whether each method is for import or export. You can create a new integration method and module or add a new method to an existing integration module. 

This screen does not replace the Web Integration Console. Use the Web Integration Console when you need more control over the specific subtasks or fields included in a web service. 



Enhanced Mobile View

This release includes an enhanced mobile view with a new navigation and action model. In mobile view, navigation controls and application actions are now consolidated in a bottom action bar, making them easier to access on smaller screens.

Actions that were previously available in the page header, such as Save and Query, now appear in the bottom action bar or the More options menu. This update also includes redesigned navigation controls, including an updated Back button and larger mobile controls.


MCP Integration – Dela as a Server

Dela can now operate as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling authorized external AI tools to connect to Costpoint through a standard interface.

This enhancement allows you to extend Costpoint by connecting AI platforms, such as Copilot or other MCP-compatible tools, to access Dela capabilities and interact with Costpoint data and workflows.

This release establishes the foundation for cross-platform AI integrations and expanded workflows across your organization’s AI ecosystem. Enable the new Dela MCP server connection on the Dela tab in Configure System Settings.

This feature is included in the Dela AI Package.


New User Interface Enabled for All Users

The new user experience is now the default user interface for all users. This update standardizes the user experience across Costpoint.

The following updates are included:

These changes help provide a consistent interface and simplify navigation as you move to the new UI.


Preview Button for Print-Type Applications

A new Preview button has been added after the Print button on the Action bar for print-type applications (Print Organization List, etc.) allowing you to review your output before printing. The Action button is now hidden for print-type applications unless actions are available. If actions become available via a child record, the Action button will dynamically appear. This ensures a more intuitive interface by displaying the button only when relevant.


Installation

MR Installer

CPWebIntegrationUtility.cmd Update

Missing parameters have been added to the CPWebIntegrationUtility.cmd.


LinkViews

Cleanup of Unused Parameters in the View Process

Unused parameters in the View process have been cleaned up to streamline functionality and improve maintainability. 

New URL Rewrite Rules on Web Server (IIS)

 

To support the new 2026.3 capability that lets you use Costpoint as an MCP server with ChatGPT, M365 Copilot, and other MCP-compliant chatbots, configure two new URL rewrite rules on the Web Server (IIS). The QR installer (Web Tier option) and DeltekCostpoint82MaintenanceReleaseInstallation.pdf provide guidance for this configuration.


Materials

MRO: Service Requests & Work Orders

The Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) is a new module to manage service requests and work orders for items that require maintenance, repair, or overhaul.

Use service requests to record the item that needs work, add service lines for the required tasks, and perform work directly on the service request. You can add parts as components or load them from a bill of materials (BOM) when one is available, then issue the parts to the service request. When additional work must be completed, you can generate a work order that includes service lines, parts, and labor charged to the service request. Labor charging for work performed directly on the work order is planned for a future phase.

The following are the changes across updated and newly added applications for the new module:

 

Manage Parts (PDMPART)

A service request item type is added to Item billings to allow parts to be used on service requests. This is visible when the MRO license is enabled. A new checkbox, COTS Item, is added to mark items as Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS). The MRO license is not needed to see/use the COTS Item checkbox.

 

Manage Services (PDMSERV)

 

A service request items type is added to allow parts to be used on service requests. When the MRO License is enabled, the field displays as SR Item Type.

The valid Service Request (SR) item type is Invoice, where the item is eligible for invoicing as soon as the sales order (SO) is approved.

 This change also applies to Manage Item Billings (PDMIBILL).

 

Manage Routings (RUMROUT)

 

You can now mark routings, via the new MRO Routing checkbox, as MRO-specific, making them available for work orders and preventing changes if they are already in use.


Manage Maintenance Types (RUMMAINT)

 

You can now create additional maintenance classes—such as Maintenance, Corrective Maintenance, and Predictive Maintenance—and define frequencies and required labor hours.


Manage Warehouses (INMWHSE)

 

Several new transaction descriptions are added to allow you to assign MRO transaction types (Issue to Service Request, Issue to Work Order, Work Order Receipt, Service Request, and Work Order) and autogenerate numbering for these transactions.


Manage Sales Group Abbreviations (PDMSALES)

 

You can now enable sales group abbreviations for use on service requests via the Service Request checkbox.


Post Inventory Journal (INPEDJNL)

 

You can now post inventory journals using new MRO transaction codes for issuing service requests and work orders.


Manage Inventory Projects (INMPROJ)

 

You can now use the new MRO Project checkbox to control whether inventory abbreviations are available for MRO and exclude inappropriate abbreviations from manufacturing orders.

The Last MO field changes to Last WO when the MRO Project checkbox is selected.

 


Manage Service Requests (ROMMSR)

 

Use this screen to create and manage service requests for MRO work. Create a service request header for the item being serviced, add service lines for the work to be performed, add components when applicable, and create work orders for lines that require additional more complicated work.


Enter Service Request Issues (ROMISSU)

 

Use Enter Service Request Issues to issue components to a specific service request line or to all lines on a service request.

Materials Parallel Processing: Create MO WIP Variance Journal Entry (PCPWIPV)

Costpoint users who are logged in to separate companies now have the ability to run processes concurrently with other users in Create MO WIP Variance Journal Entry (PCPWIPV). If multiple users are logged into the same company, they will still not be able to run the Create MO WIP Variance Journal Entry simultaneously as this only impacts multi-company users.


Punchout Vendor Updates

Enhancements have been applied to vendor punchout processing to ensure that punchout-related purchase order data is retained when purchase orders are archived and that vouchers created from punchout invoices are assigned the appropriate entry status during creation. These updates support consistent downstream processing of punchout purchase orders and vouchers.

 

Archive Purchase Orders (POPARCH)

The Archive Purchase Orders screen has been enhanced to ensure that vendor punchout information is retained when purchase orders are archived.

When you archive a purchase order that contains vendor punchout data, punchout-related fields are copied from the purchase order header to the purchase order history tables.

People

Auto-post Imported Timesheets

Timesheet and payroll administrators who have access to the Labor module can now use Dela to:

This enhancement also adds audit and tracking fields so you can review how Costpoint evaluated and processed each timesheet.

You configure auto-posting by timesheet cycle on the Manage Timesheet Periods screen, where the functionality is disabled by default. In this release, auto-posting applies to imported timesheets for salaried employees. Costpoint does not auto-post hourly employees. New employees may not be auto-posted until enough historical timesheets are available for comparison. Posting reports are saved to the Print Archived Reports location.

You can review the results of auto-post analysis on the Manage Timesheets, Manage Correcting Timesheets, and View Timesheet History Inquiry screens, where the following new fields have been added:

Field

Description

Outcome

This field displays the outcome for the timesheet during the auto-post analysis. Values are:

  • A: Dela Authorized for Auto-Post

  • NA: Dela Evaluated Manual Posting Required

  • NR: Dela Evaluated Review Advised

  • R: Dela Recommended

Reason

This field displays the reasoning behind the auto-post outcome.

Analysis Date

This field displays the date and time of the auto-post analysis.

Mode

This non-editable field displays the auto-post mode for the employee’s timesheet cycle at the time of the auto-post analysis.

Application ID

This field displays the application ID where the auto-post analysis was performed.

Process

Note: This field is not currently being used but is reserved for future use.

This field will display the process within the application where the auto-post analysis was performed. This would only be applicable for applications that contain multiple processes, such as Apply timesheet Adjustments in Batch Mode.

Posting Status

This field displays if the Dela posting was successful. Values are:

  • P: Dela Posted

  • F: Posting Failed

This field is blank if the timesheet is either unposted or manually posted.

This field will only be populated if the auto-post mode for the employee’s timesheet cycle is set to Enforce.

Original Dela Confidence Factor

This non-editable hidden field displays the Auto-Post Confidence for the employee’s timesheet cycle at the time of the auto-post analysis.

 

Manage Timesheets (LDMTIME) / Manage Correcting Timesheets (LDMCTIME)

You can review the new auto-post analysis fields on the Entry Information tab after Costpoint analyzes an imported timesheet. You can also query by the new auto-post fields.

When you create correcting timesheets on the Manage Correcting Timesheets screen, D and N correcting timesheets do not inherit auto-post status values from the original timesheet. Those fields remain blank until a future phase populates them.

 

View Timesheet History Inquiry (LDQTHF)

You can use the View Timesheet History Inquiry screen to review auto-post analysis details for posted historical timesheets.

You can review new auto-post analysis details on the Entry Information tab for posted timesheets. You can also query by the new auto-post fields.

 

Manage Timesheet Periods (LDMTSPD)

You can use the new Auto-Post Options tab on the Manage Timesheet Periods screen to configure auto-posting for each timesheet cycle. This tab includes the following fields:

Field

Description

Auto-Post Mode

Select the mode to be used for timesheet auto-posting for salaried employees. This drop-down field is part of the auto-closing process.

There are three options:

  • Recommend

  • Disable

  • Enforce

When you select Enforce or Recommend, Dela will compare an employee’s current timesheet to the employee’s historical timesheets to score how closely it matches prior timesheets.

Dela compares the timesheet’s score to the Dela Confidence Factor number to determine if it should be selected for auto-posting. A higher confidence factor indicates that the timesheet must have a very close match to prior timesheets. A lower confidence factor indicates that there can be some differences between them.

Enforce will allow Dela to automatically post any timesheets approved by Dela. Recommend means that Dela will not automatically post the timesheet but will make a recommendation based on the Dela Confidence Factor. You can review the timesheets before posting. Disable turns off the auto-post functionality so it is not used by Costpoint.

Auto-posting may be used for timesheet cycles where the employees normally work a regular schedule that does not vary and few or no edits are required in the Labor module.

Dela Confidence Factor

The Dela Confidence Factor allows you to specify how certain Costpoint should be before accepting a match between an employee’s current timesheet data and the employee’s historical timesheet data. This setting is a value between 70 and 100.

  • Low Confidence Level (e.g., 70): Costpoint will accept matches even if it is not very sure. This might result in more matches, but some could be less similar to the historical data.

  • High Confidence Level (e.g., 100): Costpoint will only accept matches when it is very sure. This might result in fewer matches, but they will closely resemble the historical data.

Adjust this setting based on how closely you need the results to match the historical data. Higher values mean more similarity, while lower values mean more flexibility in variation.

This field is enabled only when the Auto-Post Mode is either Recommend or Enforce

Posting Error Email Addresses

This field is required when the Auto-Post Mode is set to Enforce. If an error causes a timesheet posting failure, an email notification will be sent to the listed email addresses.

Note: Existing fields on this screen are now on a separate Timesheet Options tab.

 

Import Timesheets from Deltek Time and Expense (LDPUPET) / Import Timesheets (AOPUTLTS)

You can use the Import Timesheets from Deltek Time and Expense screen or the Import Timesheets screen to trigger auto-post analysis for imported timesheets when the associated timesheet cycle is configured for auto-posting.

Costpoint selects imported timesheets for auto-post analysis when the related timesheet cycle uses the Enforce or Recommend mode and the timesheet has not already been analyzed. Hourly employees will be excluded from auto-post analysis. Dela evaluates salaried employee timesheets against historical timesheets and returns an outcome and, when applicable, a reason.

When the timesheet cycle uses Enforce, Costpoint either authorizes the timesheet for auto-posting or marks it for manual posting. When the timesheet cycle uses Recommend, Costpoint either recommends the timesheet or advises review.

Costpoint posts eligible timesheets individually through the Post Timesheets screen and updates the auto-post fields in the timesheet header and, if posting succeeds, in timesheet history.

If posting fails, Costpoint sets the posting status to Failed and sends a notification to the email addresses defined on the Manage Timesheet Periods screen. If the import process fails and the timesheet is not inserted into the header table, Costpoint does not run auto-post analysis and does not populate auto-post fields.

 

Print Data Dictionary Report (SYRDD)

The Data Dictionary Report now includes the following new auto-post fields on the Timesheet Header (TS_HDR) and Timesheet Header History (TS_HDR_HS) tables.

Field

Description

AUTOPOST_MODE_CD

This is the auto-post mode when the timesheet was analyzed.

  • E: Enforce

  • D: Disable

  • R: Recommend

AUTOPOST_CONFID_NO

This is the Dela confidence setting of the timesheet cycle when the timesheet was analyzed. This is a hidden field.

AUTOPOST_OUTCOME_CD

This field indicates the outcome.

  • A: Dela Authorized for Auto-Post

  • NA: Dela Evaluated Manual Posting Required

  • NR: Dela Evaluated Review Advised

  • R: Dela Recommended

AUTOPOST_REASON_DESC

This is the description of the reason for the auto-post outcome.

AUTOPOST_TIME_STAMP

This is the date and time of the auto-post analysis.

AUTOPOST_STATUS_CD

This field displays if the Dela posting was successful.

  • P: Dela Posted

  • F: Posting Failed

AUTOPOST_SOURCE_CD

This is the auto-post transaction source.

AUTOPOST_PROCESS_CD

This is the auto-post process source.


Project Period of Performance (POP) Logic in Close Leave Year

This enhancement updates the Close Leave Year screen to use the standardized project period of performance (POP) validation logic. This update ensures consistency with the common POP logic introduced in Costpoint across various timesheet and payroll applications. You can enable this functionality through the Show Period of Performance Warning Message checkbox on the Configure Project Settings screen. When enabled, Costpoint evaluates whether transactions fall within valid project dates.

POP validation now uses a consistent approach across all affected processes, including lookup of project dates up the project structure when necessary. For validation, Costpoint will use the Subperiod End Date and not the transaction date.


Redesigned Close Leave Year Report, Enhanced Error Reporting, and Reversal Capability

The Close Leave Year application has been redesigned so you can understand your processing choices more easily, review clearer reports, and reverse a previously closed leave year when you need to make corrections. It also improves error reporting so processing issues can be reviewed together instead of stopping the process one issue at a time.

This update is intended for HR and payroll administrators who manage leave year-end processing. On the Close Leave Year screen, Process Type defaults to Close Leave Year, and Reconciliation Method defaults to Costpoint Reconcile Leave Balance. When multicurrency is enabled, the New Balance Method and Payout Method options are hidden and default to the current leave year hourly amount. The enhancement also adds acknowledgement requirements so you must confirm key processing conditions before you close or reverse a leave year.

You can reverse a previously closed leave year only when the leave cycle is eligible for reversal. The adjustment fiscal year, period, and subperiod must be available for data entry, and reversal is not allowed after at least one leave type has been transferred in the new leave year. The process also warns you when leave accruals, manual leave adjustments, or payout activity exist in the new leave year.

 

Close Leave Year (LDPCLSLVYR)

On the Close Leave Year screen, you can now choose whether to close a leave year or reverse a previously closed leave year, review clearer processing options, and generate redesigned reports that make year-end leave processing easier to review.


Timesheet Defaults Based on Pay Type and Project Combination

Costpoint provides the ability to define timesheet default values based on a combination of project and pay type. This enhancement introduces a new level in the defaulting hierarchy that allows you to configure defaults specific to both a project and its associated pay type.

Previously, timesheet defaults could be defined only by project or other existing levels. This enhancement improves configurability by enabling more precise defaulting for different labor scenarios.

This enhancement enables you to:

This functionality is particularly useful when separate accounts or classifications are required for regular, overtime, or other pay types.

 

Manage Project/Pay Type Timesheet Defaults (LDMPPTD)

A new Manage Project/Pay Type Timesheet Defaults screen is available in the People » Labor » Timesheet Defaults menu, located below the Manage Project Timesheet Defaults screen.

You can use this screen to define default values for a specific combination of project and pay type.

You can configure defaults for the following fields:

The Apply to Lower Levels option allows you to apply the defined defaults to lower-level projects within the selected project hierarchy.

Note: The Manage Project/Pay Type Timesheet Defaults screen is not available if Union functionality is enabled. The Reference 1 and Reference 2 fields may be hidden depending on licensing.

 

Pay Type and Project Combination Defaulting Hierarchy Update

Costpoint adds a new defaulting level for project and pay type combinations. The new level is processed after Manage Project Timesheet Defaults screen in the timesheet defaulting hierarchy. This updated hierarchy allows Costpoint to evaluate project and pay type-specific defaults before proceeding to lower-priority default sources.

The updated hierarchy is:

The new project/pay type defaulting logic is triggered when you enter or update a pay type on a timesheet line. The Project field is not automatically populated by this enhancement.

 

Default Field Population

When both project and pay type are entered and a matching record exists on the Manage Project/Pay Type Timesheet Defaults screen, Costpoint can default values for the following fields:

If a matching project/pay type default exists and one or more timesheet line fields already contain values, the screen will confirm with you before replacing existing information.

 

Application Updates

The new project/pay type defaulting logic is now incorporated into the following applications:

These applications now include an additional defaulting step that evaluates project/pay type defaults when applicable.

 

Database Updates

A new LAB_PROJ_PT_DFLT (Project Pay Type Timesheet Defaults) table has been added for this feature:

The Print Data Dictionary Report screen has been updated to include this new table.


Update Employee Address Information Through Dela

Costpoint now enables you to add and update employee address information through a guided, conversational interface in Ask Dela or Microsoft Teams. This capability reduces the need to navigate multiple application screens and streamlines address maintenance for both Human Resources (HR) administrators and employees.

You can enter natural language prompts to manage address information from the Manage Employee Information screen in the Employee module or the Address/Phone screen in Employee Self Service. Dela then guides you through the process and helps complete the requested update.

You can use prompts such as the following:

Access to this capability depends on your application or module permissions. HR administrators can update employee address records, while employees can update their own address information through self-service. All updates follow existing validation rules and audit tracking. In certain scenarios, such as vendor-linked employees or payroll state changes, Costpoint may require additional confirmation or processing.

This enhancement does not allow updates to inactive or terminated employees without confirmation and does not support direct deposit updates due to privacy considerations.


Update Employee Salary Details, Job Titles, and Manager Information through Ask Dela and Microsoft Teams

HR administrators and users with the right access can now update an employee’s salary, job title, and manager through Ask Dela in a guided conversation, including from Microsoft Teams. This reduces the need to open the Manage Employee Information screen or the Manage Employee Salary Information screen to make routine updates and helps you complete employee record maintenance faster.

Access to this enhancement follows your existing security setup. To update Annual Amount, Payroll Salary Amount, or Hourly Amount, your user ID must have Suppress Labor cleared in Company Rights for the login company, and you must have full rights either for the applicable screen or for the Employee module. When Dela saves a change through chat, Costpoint uses the same validation and defaulting logic that runs when you update records on the Manage Employee Salary Information screen.

This enhancement also improves auditability of AI-driven updates by recording agent usage when data is added or changed through Ask Dela or Teams. If you do not have an existing salary record for an employee, you must first create one on the appropriate screen; and if you have Labor Suppression enabled, you cannot change salary amounts through Ask Dela.

 

Manage Employee Information (LDMEINFO)

On the Manage Employee Information screen, you can initiate employee updates through Ask Dela and complete the update flow in Teams or in Costpoint as needed. The following are the updates:

 

Manage Employee Salary Information (LDMEHIS)

On the Manage Employee Salary Information screen, Ask Dela can update salary details using the same validations and defaulting logic you get when you update records directly on this screen. The following are the updates to the application:

 

Print Data Dictionary Report (SYRDD)

On the Print Data Dictionary Report screen, the data dictionary now includes the new People-module AI agent usage table that tracks AI-driven updates. The following are the updates to the application:

 

This enhancement requires the following:


Planning

Ability to Override Hours and Cost Ceilings in Project Budgets / EACs

You can now selectively override specific Costpoint ceiling calculation routines for Project Budgets / EACs by using override checkboxes on the Revenue Setup subtask. This feature enables Planning to ignore hours, burden, or cost ceiling enforcement logic during revenue calculations for forecast periods, without affecting other budget/EAC versions. The enhancement simplifies long-range planning for incrementally funded contracts and reduces the need to duplicate budget/EAC versions or modify ceilings in Costpoint projects.

The following checkboxes have been added to the Revenue Setup subtask:

By default, all override checkboxes are cleared. To enable these options, select the Override Settings checkbox. When these checkboxes are selected, Planning ignores the associated ceiling routines during revenue calculations for forecast periods. These overrides affect reports in Analysis by Period and Revenue Analysis.

Note: Override selections apply only to budget/EAC versions with a Working status. Newly created budget/EAC versions inherit the override settings from the source version. Changes to override settings do not affect previously created versions.


Budget and EAC Summary Comparison Report

A new Budget & EAC Summary Comparison application was added under Planning » Project Budgeting » Supplemental Reports. This report allows you to view budget and EAC values side by side across all relevant WBS levels, including project, task, labor category, and resource. It enables quick comparisons between planned (Budget) and expected (EAC) outcomes without switching screens or manually reconciling data.

Key Features:


Color-Coded Health Indicator for EAC

The Project Budgets / EACs application now visually flags the health of each EAC using color-coded statuses. These indicators are based on factors such as overspend risk, delays, and frequent changes, enabling you to quickly identify budgets that require attention.

A new EAC Health Indicator column has been added to the Project Budget Status table. This column evaluates the status of each version using five key variance signals:

The EAC Health Indicator column displays one of the following statuses:

 

New EAC Health Indicator Subtask

A new EAC Health Indicator subtask provides detailed visibility into how Costpoint calculates EAC health. It displays a variance comparison between the selected EAC version and the final project budget, and it includes the calculation of EAC age.

The subtask includes the following fields:

Related Updates

EAC Health Inquiry via Ask Dela

Ask Dela now supports EAC health queries. It identifies EAC health inquiries and retrieves relevant data. Health information is sourced from the Project Budgets / EACs application and the EAC Health Indicator subtask. Dela provides system-calculated EAC health values and does not perform calculations or modify data. For projects with multiple EACs, Dela can summarize health across versions.

Important: For the initial query, include “EAC Health” or use the terms “Estimate,” “Completion,” and “Health” (in any order) to improve AI-driven insights.

Note: A link to the EAC Health Indicator subtask is always included in Dela’s response.


Consistent Display of Pending Calculations Across Planning Views

Pending calculations, such as pending approvals or pending values, are now computed and displayed consistently across all Planning experiences, including budget, EAC, dashboards, and reports. This ensures that you can trust the accuracy of the data you see, enabling confident and informed budgeting and EAC decisions without confusion caused by inconsistencies.

A new Pending Data Source option is available on the Integration tab of the Configuration Settings screen. This field enables you to select the source for pending calculations:

This enhancement affects the results of the following reports:


Enhanced Data Capture for AI Insights

This enhancement enables deeper analysis, such as predictive trend modeling, compliance auditing, and issue troubleshooting. It also gives AI the ability to evaluate how budgets evolve over time, offering insights into client behavior and system usage.

Key Benefits:


Enhanced Unit Budgeting in Project Budgets / EACs (Phase 3)

In the previous release, budgeting by units was implemented in Project Budgets / EACs and the top-level reports. Phase 3 extends this functionality to the level-down report, increasing visibility into how units affect budgeting and reporting.

In the Level Down Projects Future Revenue application, a Units option is now available in the Cost Type lookup. This option enables you to view unit-based revenue calculations with existing revenue breakdowns.

An expandable Units row is also available in the Revenue Breakdown sub report, where Units data displays when available.


Enhancements to Ask Dela

Ask Dela is expanded in the Project Budgets / EACs application in this release. This feature provides a context-aware assistant that delivers smart suggestions, key updates, and data insights based on your current screen and project context. It enables you to take timely action, reduce manual guesswork, and maintain accurate, compliant, and up-to-date project financials.

When you open a budget or EAC, Dela provides default suggestions to help streamline your workflow, including:

Note: Use the words “estimate,” “completion,” or “EAC” to help trigger AI-driven insights.

Note: You can filter by project's EAC or BUD. Use the words “project” and “budget” to help trigger AI-driven insights.

 

New Budget Analysis Application

In support of AI functionality, a new Budget Analysis application was added under Planning » Project Budgeting » Active Level Reports. You can run and view the report by selecting a project or by using the link to the application included in Dela’s response.

Multicurrency Functionality in Planning

Costpoint now enables you to convert an employee’s hourly cost from the paid currency (transactional currency) to the company’s functional currency. This ensures that budget and report costs are displayed consistently in the functional currency, which improves accuracy and simplifies financial analysis.

A new Convert rates using Multicurrency option was added to the General tab of Configuration Settings. By default, this option is disabled.

When this option is enabled, Costpoint retrieves the employee’s Currency option in the Manage Employee Salary Information application (People » Employee » Basic Employee Information » Manage Employee Salary Information » Salary Info) and the company’s Functional Currency in the Set Up Company application (Admin » System Administration » System Administration Controls » Set Up Company). Costpoint then applies the applicable exchange rate from the Currency Schedules application in Time & Expense » Expense » Expense Controls to convert hourly costs for use in budget calculations and reports.

For example, if an employee is paid in EUR (€) and the functional currency is USD ($), with an hourly cost of €50 and an exchange rate of €1 = $1.10, Costpoint calculates the cost as $55 per hour for all budget calculations and reports.


Units Functionality in New Business Budgets

The New Business Budgets application now includes budget by unit functionality, similar to the Project Budgets / EACs application. Enhancements have been made to Revenue Setup/Ceilings, Revenue Analysis, and Analysis by Period subtasks to incorporate unit-based budgeting. Additionally, a new Units subtask has been added to streamline unit-specific budget management. These updates provide greater flexibility and precision in tracking and analyzing budgets by unit.

 

Units Added to Revenue Setup/Ceilings Subtask

New fields were added to the Revenue Setup subtask to streamline revenue calculations. The subtask now supports unit-based budgeting to improve budget configuration.

Anomaly Detection for Pool Journals

Powered by Dela, Costpoint now detects anomalies in cost pools and indirect rates. When you compute pool rates, you can select the new Run AI Analysis checkbox on the Compute/Print Pool Rates screen to evaluate rate calculations and pool balances against historical patterns and identify anomalies before journal entries are created.  

You can then review flagged variances as well as compare current and past pool data on the Pool Analysis Inquiry screen, where AI-generated summaries provide context so you can investigate and resolve issues more efficiently. To access this new application, click Projects » Cost and Revenue Processing » Cost Pool Processing » Pool Analysis Inquiry.


Multi-User Processing for Compute/Print Pool Rates (PJPCOMPP)

The Compute/Print Pool Rates application now supports multi-user processing, allowing users in different companies to execute processes concurrently. If two users within the same company try to start the process, one of the users will get an error message.


Project Initiation Agent (Phase 1)

You can now prompt Ask Dela, or use the Costpoint Microsoft Teams app, to create new projects. This is phase 1 of a multi-agent process to set up a fully functional project in Costpoint with all possible applications completed. 

To create a new project, you can copy an existing project or define required fields and project structure, with support for building and validating the project WBS through a conversational workflow. After creating a project, Ask Dela provides a link to Manage Project User Flow that displays all project IDs that were set up.

Reports & Analytics

Revenue Formula Added to Model

The revenue formula has been added to the model for the Project Status Report (PSR). This update displays Revenue Formula at the revenue level on the PSR, providing greater transparency and clarity for revenue calculations.  


Business Intelligence

Nonconformance Dashboard

 

The Nonconformance Dashboard is now available in BI, providing a centralized view for monitoring nonconforming materials, analyzing trends, identifying impacted orders, and evaluating average days to disposition. Built on the Materials BI Package, the dashboard includes key performance indicators (KPIs), Pareto analysis, summary views, and order impact details to support faster decision-making and more effective material management. The Nonconformance Dashboard is available in Team Content » Materials.

Automated User Group Mappings for Standard BI User Groups

 

The Utilities program now automates user group mappings for the standard BI user groups. This enhancement builds on the capability setup automation introduced in 2026.2 and reduces the manual effort required for both Deltek Cloud teams and on-premises customers. By eliminating the need to add members to each Costpoint group before mapping, the update streamlines setup and helps reduce the risk of manual errors.

Report Views Added to Billing Folder for Core Accessibility

 

Report views for Goods List, Parts List, Services List, and Item Vendors have been created from their source locations and made available in the Billing folder. This ensures accessibility to these reports as part of the core Product Definition, even though their original locations are tied to an add-on module.

Workforce Start and End Dates Added to Projects Package

 

Workforce start and end dates have been added to the Projects package within Project Reporting. This addition provides greater visibility into workforce timelines, enabling more accurate tracking and planning for project resources.

New Active/Inactive Flag for Project Account Groups in Projects Package

 

The Account Group Active (Y/N) active/inactive flag has been added for project account groups in the Projects package. This update makes it easier to identify active and inactive entries, improving visibility for project reporting and management. 

New Vendor Columns

 

Additional columns have been added to Vendor in the Accounts Payable package. New columns include LGBTQ+ OwnedPunchout VendorPunchout Maximum AmountPunchout Vendor Enabled (Y/N)Invoice Integration (Y/N)Invoice Notification (Y/N)Invoice Notification Email (Y/N)Vendor Status, and SM Subcontractor (Y/N). The CMMC Level column has been removed. In addition, the Subcontractor (Y/N) column has been renamed Payment Control (Y/N) to align with the naming used on the Manage Vendors screen.

New Billing User Group Status Fields

 

The Billing Group Active (Y/N) field has been added to the Billing package to indicate whether a billing group is active. In addition, the Billing Group Active (Y/N) field and the Bill Group Description field have been added to the Project Reporting package. These updates improve visibility into billing group status and strengthen the organization of billing-related data across packages.

New Manage Manual Checks Application Fields

 

The Manage Manual Checks application now includes three new fields to support payment tracking and data entry. The Payment Transaction Type field identifies the payment source, such as EFT, check, wire, or credit card. The Payment Reference Code field captures authorization numbers or longer check numbers for payment tracking. The Additional Notes field lets you record supplemental information related to the manual check. Together, these additions provide more complete payment details and improve manual check recordkeeping.

New Project Status Details Fields in Project Planning Reporting Package

 

The Project Status Details (EREPORT_PROJ_DETAIL) table now includes additional fields to support project planning reporting. These fields provide more detailed budget and actual amounts for allowable and unallowable costs, including burdened amounts and unposted transactions. 

These additions provide greater detail for tracking and analyzing project budgets and actuals, supporting more comprehensive financial reporting and decision-making.


Time & Expense

Allow Start/Stop Time in Minutes

You can now calculate Start/Stop Summary time in minutes, benefiting from greater accuracy in entering time when Start/Stop Detail cannot be used, such as when premium pay is also required. This helps prevent rounding-related validation issues that can occur when saving timesheets and improves accuracy for organizations that rely on start and stop time entry.

This option is enabled when the Calculate Start/Stop Time in Minutes checkbox is selected in Timesheet Classes (Time » Timesheets). With the checkbox selected, you can specify a starting date in the associated Effective Date field. The Start/Stop Summary option must also be selected from the Entry Mode drop-down.

The update also extends minute-based visibility to timesheet review areas through the addition of a Minutes column, so managers and approvers can see the same level of detail on the Manage/Approve Timesheets screen and related timesheet views. Together, these changes improve consistency across time entry and review, reduce confusion caused by rounded values, and support more accurate payroll and approval processes.


Approve and Reject Leave Requests in Dela

Managers can now review and approve employee leave requests directly in Dela. This allows managers to take timely action from one place without needing to switch between multiple systems.

Note: For a general introduction to Ask Dela, see the Introduction to Ask Dela video available on the Deltek Learning Hub, which includes, for example, instructions on adding Costpoint to Teams.

The images below provide examples of the types of questions that will help you accomplish these tasks.
