Changes from 2.1.14 to 3.1.00
Enhancements in Version 3.1.00
- System/Company/Backup and
System/Company/Restore.
The Backup and Restore functions have been retooled to be
more robust and smarter — and separate on the menu.
They now display the progress
of the backup and restore operations for your review.
If a problem occurs
that affects the integrity of the data, the operation
stops. You can use the information in the Progress box
as a troubleshooting tool.
-
System/Company/Company Access Control.
The new Company Access Control
function lets you manage users' access to the selected company.
The user access settings you make with this command are for a single company;
they do not apply to any other 21st Century companies, if they exist.
System/Access Control is unchanged. It resides on the menu
in the same place as always and lets you set user access across
companies as before.
-
Payroll/Print/Certified Payroll Register.
You can produce the Certified Payroll Register from
the weekly payroll Timecards each pay period.
For each employee, the report prints the Job-Phase, Job-Category
and Job Title (Job Title is taken from Configure/Employee
Personnel tab) to further identify the work done.
The report shows daily regular hours, overtime hours, and rates.
Taxes, deductions, and net pay for the week are also shown.
If you check the box to show employee detail, for employees
who worked at more than one category within a job, the report
prints daily hours and rates for each Job-Category within a job
and total taxes, deductions, and net pay for the job.
-
Payroll/Configure/Global Employee Update.
You can now add, modify, and delete pay factors for all
employees or for selected employees. Add and Modify display
the selected factor's configurable attributes for completion.
Delete displays no attributes. When you "post" the action,
the system executes the selected action on the selected factor
for the selected employees.
-
Transfer to Adagio Job Cost has
been updated. Payroll will interface with any current version
of Adagio Job Cost.
Problems Fixed in Version 3.1.00
-
Payroll/Print/Payroll Register.
-
The Payroll Register's calculation of overtime based on an
overtime multiplier has been made more robust. The
overtime rate and pay amount will now be calculated correctly in
all situations.
-
The Payroll Register now prints correctly for companies
that are departmentalised by Category.
-
The Payroll Register company total for "Gross income" was
sometimes incorrect.
The report failed to add the employee gross income amount for
reversing entries to the company totals. This has been corrected.
-
Payroll/Configure/Employees.
In companies with G/L departmentalization, when you edited and saved
changes for multiple employees in the same Configure/Employees
session, the program applied the first employee's department
assignment to the employees beyond the first one edited,
regardless of whether or not department edits were done.
This has been corrected.
-
Payroll/Print/Taxes Activity.
The Taxes Activity report now prints correct totals
when printed from Preview mode.
-
Payroll/Configure/Custom Pay Summary and
Payroll/Print/Custom Pay Summary.
-
Payroll/Print/Custom Pay Summary now
produces month-to-date totals based on the month associated with
the ending pay period ID specified rather than the sum
for all records of the relevant month, regardless of what year.
-
Payroll/Print/Custom Pay Summary now
prints columns that contain parentheses correctly.
-
Payroll/Print/Custom Pay Summary no longer displays
an error message when you select "All exp. reimbursements" as the
"Factors to include."
-
Generic Import Timecards.
The generic Import Timecards program has been updated. It is now
compatible with the current version of Payroll.
-
Payroll/Void Checks.
The specific issue that caused Payroll to close abruptly when you
attempted to void a check has been resolved. You can now void
a check successfully without encountering an "Access Violation" crash.
-
Payroll/Calculate Payroll.
In certain situations,when you clicked "Done" or "Finish Later,"
Calculate Payroll would fail to post some of
the data you entered in the Calculate window, such as hours worked
or amounts paid out.
The system assumed that it posted successfully and discarded the new data, so
clicking "Done" again appeared to be successful also, but was just saving
old data or zeroes.
This situation has been remedied. The Calculate Payroll buttons now
behave as expected and the appropriate data is posted.
-
Payroll/Calculate Payroll/Manual Pay Distribution.
Prorated departmental distributions, based on manual pay distributions
in a company that is departmentalised by G/L segments, did not always
add up to 100%. Also, the handling of precision on the manual pay
percentages was inconsistent.
These calculation issues have been resolved. The departmental
distributions are calculated correctly and consistently.
-
Payroll/Electronic Filing/NACHA Prenote File for Direct Deposit.
The NACHA Prenote procedure now correctly calculates the check digit
that will verify the Payroll bank account number in the NACHA DD file
control record.
