Enhancements


General

Data Sharing and In-App Guidance Updates in System Settings

The Do not capture application usage statistics checkbox in System Settings has been renamed to Allow Collection of Usage Statistics. As a result, you must select the checkbox to turn on data sharing and enable Costpoint's In-App Guidance that highlights new features and provides personalized tips and suggestions to improve your use of Costpoint.

If you clear the Allow Collection of Usage Statistics checkbox to stop sharing data, a message is displayed to inform you that In-App Guidance will also be disabled.


Accounting

Direct EFT File Upload

Costpoint now provides you the option to directly upload EFT files to US bank websites or systems. This eliminates some steps in the previous process where you must store generated EFT files in a repository and require other authorized personnel to retrieve the EFT files and then access your bank’s system and upload the files.

Now, you only must do a one-time setup to integrate Costpoint with your bank’s system, and you can automatically transmit EFT files to your bank in real-time without the need for manual input.

The following enhancements have been applied to Costpoint to support this feature.

 

New Tab in the Product Configuration Utility

Use the new Bank FTP tab in the Product Configuration Utility to set up and store the bank FTP server connections needed to generate and directly upload EFT files to bank systems. You must provide information such as the Bank FTP ID, connection type, FTP host, port, user, password, and company ID to set up a connection. 

After you configure the connection information, you can view the details on the new Bank Integration subtask on the Manage System Integration Accounts screen.

 

Manage System Integration Accounts

The new Bank Integration subtask has been added to the Manage System Integration Accounts screen.

This subtask displays the Bank FTP IDBank LoginPassword, and Confirm Password fields. It only allows you to update the Bank LoginPassword, and Confirm Password fields, but you cannot add, copy, or delete a record. 

The records on this subtask correspond to the bank integration information you set up on the Bank FTP tab of the Product Configuration Utility. 

If you did not set up bank integration information in the Product Configuration Utility, the Bank Integration subtask does not display.

 

Manage Company Bank Accounts (US Banks)

The new Bank Integration group box, which contains the Bank Integration ID field, has been added to this screen to allow you to link your company's bank accounts to credentials that are available on the Bank Integration subtask of the Manage System Integration Accounts screen.

The Bank Integration ID you assign to a bank account will be used to upload EFT files to your bank’s system when you select the EFT Direct Upload checkbox on the Create EFT File screen.

If you did not set up bank integration information in the Product Configuration Utility, the Bank Integration ID field is disabled.

 

Create EFT File

The new EFT Direct Upload checkbox has now been added to the Create EFT File screen. Select this checkbox to upload created EFT files directly to the website or system of the bank account you entered on the Bank Abbr field. This checkbox is displayed only if you selected ACH as the EFT Format Type and is enabled only if the Bank Abbr value you entered has a valid Bank Integration ID on the Manage Company Bank Accounts screen.

If the EFT file is generated and the upload is successful, the message “EFT File has been created and connection to the bank was successful” is displayed. However, if the connection to the bank system is unsuccessful, the message “The EFT file has been created, but connection to the bank has failed. Please upload the file directly to the bank.” is displayed, and you must manually upload the file.


EFT International Format

Costpoint is currently being enhanced to have the feature to create ACH files for outgoing International ACH Transactions (IAT) bound for your vendors’ banks or financial institutions outside the United States. This enhancement is limited only to the creation of ACH files for IAT. Other EFT files for Non-US banks must be created using third-party tools.

Two Accounting screens have been updated to partially support this enhancement. The full functionality of the feature will be available in a future release.

 

Manage Vendors (APMVEND)

The ACH Code drop-down list has been added to the EFT Info (Non-US) subtask of the Addresses subtask.

This refers to the transaction code to be entered in positions 02-03 of the Entry Detail Record in the ACH file. It identifies the transaction as a debit or credit, and the type of account the transaction is intended for.

The ACH Code drop-down list has the following options:

You must first select the Non-US EFT Active checkbox on the Addresses subtask for you to be able to save the ACH Code you selected. If you select an ACH Code but the Non-US EFT Active checkbox is cleared, the ACH Code defaults to None when you save the record.

The ACH Code also displays on the output when you print a Current Record Information report for the EFT Info (Non-US) subtask.

 

Import Vendors (AOPUTLVU)

This screen now has updated validation rules and messages when you import a vendor that has its Non-US EFT Active flag set to Y

Condition

Message Type

Message

The Non-US EFT Active flag is set to Y, but the Non-US Bank ID is blank.

Warning

Non-US Bank ID (NON_US_BANK_ID) is missing for this Non-US EFT record. Non-US Bank ID is required when creating outgoing IAT Files for EFT payments.

The Non-US EFT Active flag is set to Y, but the ACH Code is blank.

Warning

ACH Code (S_ACH_TRN_CD) is missing for this Non-US EFT record. ACH is required when creating outgoing IAT Files for EFT payments.

The Non-US EFT Active flag is set to Y, but the Bank ID (ABA No.) and Bank Account fields are not blank. 

Warning

Warning: Bank ABA Number and Bank Account must be null for a Non-US EFT record. The record will be imported with those values set to NULL.


CRM & Contracts

Downloading and Importing Updated FAR/DFARS Clauses and Provisions

The latest lists of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses and provisions are now available for download on the Deltek Costpoint Document Resources page. These updated lists were released by Acquisition.GOV in September 2023. You can import these files into Costpoint to apply up-to-date clauses/provisions to your contracts and subcontracts.

 

Downloading FAR/DFARS Files

You can download the latest FAR/DFARS lists from Deltek Support Center. Click the following link to go directly to the Deltek Costpoint Document Resources page:

Note: The input files are designed so that you can readily import them into Costpoint. You can, however, still rename the files or change the content if necessary. 

Below each button is a Last Updated On date indicating when the file was last updated (formatted as mm/dd/yyyy).

If you need assistance in uploading the documents, click the Importing Deltek Costpoint FAR/DFARS button. This brings up a page with information on importing FAR/DFARS clauses and provisions into Costpoint.

Print Data Dictionary Report (SYRDD)

The Print Data Dictionary Report now provides information about the following, which were added for this feature.


Print Form W-2c and W-3c with Data on Blank Stock

Prior to this release, you can print Form W-2c only on pre-printed forms from recommended vendors. To avoid alignment problems in using pre-printed forms, Costpoint adds the ability to print Form W-2c on plain paper on the Print W-2s screen.

 

Print W-2s (PRRW2)

A new W-2c (Form with Data) group box provides the following options for printing W-2c copies to plain paper.

Field

Employer and Employee Information from Generated or Manually Entered W-2s Are Now Stored by Costpoint

When you generate W-2s/W-2Cs from the Create W-2 Table screen or enter the W-2s/W-2Cs on the Manage W-2s and Manage W-2Cs screens, Costpoint now stores the following information:

This enhancement will allow Payroll managers to reprint the employee and taxable entity information for a W-2/W-2C that displays all the W-2 data as it was at the time of the original printing and not use current data for Employer Tax ID, Employer Address, Employer Name, Employee SSN, Employee Name, and Employee Address.

 

Create W-2 Table (PRPCW2)

The application features the following updates:

 

Manage W-2s (PRMW2)

The application now displays the employee’s name and address at the time of the W-2 creation using the new fields in the FED_W2_FILE table.

 

Manage W-2Cs (PRMW2C)

The application now populates the previously reported SSN and employee name from the new fields in the FED_W2_FILE table. The fields will remain enabled.

 

Print W-2s (PRRW2)

The application now populates the employer and employee name and address information from new fields in the FED_W2_FILE table. This will show the employee and employer information at the time the W-2 was created.

 

W-2s (ESMELECW2)

The application now displays the Employer Tax ID, Employer Address, Employer Name, Employee SSN, Employee Name, and Employee Address from the W-2 table (FED_W2_FILE) instead of from the associated table (TXBLE_ENTITY, EMPL). This allows employees to view the original addresses.

 

Print Data Dictionary Report (SYRDD)

The Print Data Dictionary Report now includes information about the new columns in the FED_W2_FILE and FED_W2C_FILE tables.


Roth-Only Catch-up Contributions For High Earners and the Option for Roth Employer Match and Non-Elective Contributions

The United States Congress passed the Secure Act 2.0 which requires employees who made above a certain amount in the prior year to make catch-up contributions to a post-tax Roth individual retirement account (IRA) instead of a pre-tax 401k. The act was originally set to go into effect in 2024 but was later delayed until 2026.

To address the requirements of the new legislation, Costpoint added a new report to display employees who qualify for catch-up contributions, their deductions, age, and income. On the Manage Federal Taxes screen, a new field was also added to hold the prior year’s income requirement threshold for Roth IRA’s.

In addition, the Secure Act 2.0 section 127 permits employers to offer short-term emergency savings accounts (ESAs) to non-Highly Compensated Employees. A new deduction was added for Emergency Savings Accounts.

 

Print Employees Eligible for Retirement Catch-Up (PRPCATCHUP)

Use this screen to print information relating to employees over 50 with catch-up retirement contributions. Print this report any time to see if employees have reached their catch-up limit or to determine which employees meet the high-income threshold for the previous year.

You can print the report for:

The application will use the new Roth Catch-Up Wage Threshold field on the Manage Federal Taxes screen to determine the threshold for high earners. The report displays the employee’s prior year earnings, age, earning type, deduction code, deduction type, YTD deduction amount, contribution code, contribution type, YTD contribution amount, and the total YTD deduction/contribution amount. When the first sort is by employee, the report has a subtotal for each employee for YTD deduction/contribution amounts and the total of deduction/contribution amount.

 

Manage Federal Taxes (PRMFTI)

The Manage Federal Taxes screen adds the following field:

Field

Description

Roth Catch-Up Wage Threshold

Enter the prior year wage threshold amount that was defined by the U.S. government at which retirement contribution catch-ups will be required to be in a post-tax Roth IRA.

This amount will be used by the Print Employees Eligible for Retirement Catch-Up screen to determine which employees must make retirement catch-up contributions to a post-tax Roth IRA.

 

Manage Deductions (PRMDED)

A new Emergency Savings Accounts (ESA) deduction type, which can be used by employers who offer short-term ESAs to non-Highly Compensated Employees, was added to the Manage Deductions screen.


W-2 2023 Copy A Substitute Form Fillable PDF Update and Approval

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires that the Substitute Black-and-White Forms W-3 and W-2 (Copy A) for Tax Year 2023 must comply with the IRS Publication 1141. Forms W-3 and W-2 (Copy A) must be approved by Social Security Administration (SSA).

The Print W-2s application was updated to reflect the updated forms. The changes to the forms are as follows:

2023 Form W-3

2023 Form W-2

The IRS provides the following reminders to employers:

Attention: For more information, refer to:


Planning

Added Profit and Loss by Program Report

The new Profit and Loss by Program application (Organization Budgeting » Profit and Loss Reports) displays the labor and non-labor resources assigned to programs as well as the org budget program trends for the selected fiscal period.

[image]

On the Details subtask, the row directly beneath each revenue and expense line item displays the org budget program name, assigned orgs, and related accounts.

For orgs that are not assigned to any program, the program row displays Unassigned.

[image]

Refer to the online Help for more information.


Cost Type Descriptions Now Customizable within Costpoint

The Customize Standard Labels screen (Admin » System Administration » Workspace Customization) in Costpoint was updated to include the Budget Sheet labels, enabling you to customize these labels wherever they display within Planning.

Note: To learn about modifying the labels, refer to the online Help for Customize Standard Labels.

From the Customize Standard Labels screen, you can customize the following labels:

The modified versions of the labels are applied wherever they display in Costpoint Planning. To illustrate the difference between un-customized and customized labels, several images follow below.

The following is an example of the standard (un-customized) Staff Hours budget sheet label:

[image]

In Project Budgets/EACs, for example, the standard (un-customized) label still displays:

[image]

The following is an example of the same label customized:

[image]

In Project Budgets/EACs, for example, the custom label also displays:

[image]

Other labels customized on the Customize Standard Labels screen may also be applied to the Planning interface. For example:

[image]I

The text shown above, for example, displays on the Planning menu as follows:

[image]


Create Top Level Budget/Outlook Updated for Web Services

To improve compatibility with Web Services and enhance usability, the Create Top Level Budget/Outlook screen (Organization Budgeting » Budget/Outlook Processing) was converted from a maintenance application to a process application.

Instead, after you select screen settings, click the Process icon ([image]) to run the utility.

These fields enable you to save your selections for reuse, either by using Query to find the ID or by using the ID for a scheduled job.

Note: Also due to the conversion, the underlying application ID was changed from bnp_oapaom5 to bnp oapbotl.


Enhancement to Advanced Search Criteria

The Resource Search Criteria section of the Advanced Search screen includes two new search fields:

Previously, details for trainings and courses were aggregated under Skills.

This enhancement applies to Advanced Search in the following applications:

[image]

Select your desired value for each field, and then click Find Resources to display the employees that possess the specified skills, trainings, and courses.

If you want to configure the drop-down selection criteria, use the following applications to add, delete, or modify items:


Project Budget/EAC Mass Utilities Updated for Web Services

To improve compatibility with Web Services and enhance usability, the action buttons (for example, Create EAC) on the Project Budget/EAC Mass Utilities screen (Project Budgeting » Controls and Utilities) were converted to drop-down list items in a new Process field. For example:

[image]

Note: The Process drop-down list is dynamically updated based on the option selected from Status under Budget. In earlier versions, the action button was either enabled or disabled based on the status. Now, the Process drop-down list displays only actions that are valid for the currently selected budget or EAC.

The area of the screen where projects were selected for processing is now replaced by a Selection Ranges section, which includes a Projects drop-down list that provides options for processing all, one, or a range of projects. For example:

[image]

If you select Range from Projects, the Start and End fields are enabled, where you can click to select the starting and ending project IDs, respectively, for processing. For example:

[image]

Conversely, if you select One, only Start is enabled, and neither field is enabled if you select All.

Since the utility is now a processing application, click the Process icon ([image]) after you set all parameters.

Note: Due to the conversion, the underlying application ID was changed from bnp_bgmbpmu to bnp_bgpbpmu.


Revenue Amounts Added to New Business Budgets by Period

In New Business Budgets (Planning » New Business Budgets), the Analysis by Period subtask (formerly named Burdened Cost) now includes revenue amounts in addition to the cost amounts. This update enables Planning to calculate and display the profit amount and the profit percentages on both cost and revenue.

The inclusion of revenue along with raw and burdened cost amounts, and the subsequent profit calculations, provides a more complete analysis of budget performance per period.

Revenue is totaled at the top of the report and expense is totaled at the bottom, directly above profit.

[image]

Projects

Project Workforce Start and End Dates for Employee/Vendor/Vendor Employee

In preparation for an enhancement that will allow you to add start and end dates to each employee, vendor, and vendor employee in a project workforce in Costpoint, updates have been made to several applications.

This future enhancement will allow you to limit an employee’s or vendor employee’s work time within the project. In addition, you will not need to remove employees from the workforce, and you will be able to perform a historical review of project workforce records.

 

Updated “Workforce” Label  

The “Work Force” label on field names in the following applications has been changed to “Workforce”: 

 

New Columns on Tables 

Start Date and End Date columns have been added to the following database tables: 

These tables are used by the following applications: 

 

Start and End Dates Included in Import

The Import Project Master Data application has been updated to include the new Start Date and End Date fields in the input file when importing project workforce records. Affected input file layouts include the following: 


Reports & Analytics

Business Intelligence

Updated Data Dictionary Report

The Data Dictionary report now includes the Time & Expense (T&E) data dictionary table. In addition, the underlying Admin model now exposes data from Costpoint, Planning, and T&E for the data dictionary. 

Print PO Header NAICS Code Business Size and Size Standards on Purchase Order

You can now save the NAICS Size Standards in the PO Header and include the following on the printed PO regardless of business size:

To support this enhancement, the following updates were made to the Procurement Data module:

Updates to Home Dashboard

The My Timesheets section of the Home Dashboard now also displays and links to timesheets that have a status of Missing. The list includes missing timesheets for the previous 10 timesheet periods.

In addtion, to improve the efficiency of querying timesheet data from the Home Dashboard or other areas of Costpoint, such as Business Intelligence, the underlying timesheet summarization tables within Time & Expense are now immediately updated when timesheets are saved, including any automatically calculated overtime.


Time & Expense

Resource Work Schedule Updates

To improve general usability for the Resource Schedules/Leave screen, the following updates were applied:

Note: This button disables when a query is pending.


Timesheet Enhancements

The following enhancements were made to both Timesheet functionality and display to promote ease of use.

 

Reposition Work Schedule in Split Screen View

After you select Work Schedule from the More menu, you can drag it to the right side of the Timesheet application screen in Split Screen view. This layout can be saved.

 

Timesheet Correction Reverses Status When No Changes Made

As a convenience for users, the timesheet correction process was amended so that, if no changes are implemented after the user clicks Correct, a notice displays reading, "No changes were made to this Timesheet." When the user clicks OK to dismiss the warning, this has the effect of performing an Undo Correct action, and the timesheet returns to its original state.
