ACCUBUILD DESKTOP
•CORRECTION - When opening a company in AccuBuild where the AccuBuild Document Management System (ADMS) was not installed, a message would be displayed indicating that the new invoice routing feature could not be done without ADMS. The new invoice approval process requires the ADMS Module to be installed in order to route invoices for approval to project managers etc. This message will no longer be displayed.
MY ACCUBUILD REPORTS

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
•ENHANCEMENT - Performance Improvement on Folder Templates - The Folder Templates for new master records on clients, jobs etc. were causing a long wait period after the Save Button was clicked due to the number of folders that had to be added and secured with each new master record. The code for creating these folders has been enhanced and now performs over 17 times faster. For example, a folder template of 32 folders was normally taking over 2 minutes to create on a new master record (client, job etc.) and this process now takes around 7 seconds on average. NOTE – The code to add a folder template to an existing master record folder was also changed to speed that process up with the same speed improvements.
JOB COST
•ENHANCEMENT - The Job List (Update Jobs menu) screen was loading slow when there were a lot of user defined folders and/or folder templates (ADMS) associated with each job due to preliminary ADMS folder security code that was being executed each time the job list was loaded. This process has been moved and will only be executed if the user clicks on the Documents Tab of the job list. The job list should now load faster no matter how many ADMS folders exist.
PAYROLL
•Federal Tax Withholding Tables as of December 27, 2012 - Although the IRS says it intends "to issue guidance by the end of the year on appropriate withholding for 2013", some AccuBuild customers will have to process their first 2013 payroll before that guidance is issued. Therefore, the 2012 withholding tables will remain in place with this release and will be used for the first few payrolls of 2013. A new software update will be issued once an official guidance from the IRS is released.
•The following State withholding tax tables for 2013 have been updated in this release:
•California - 2013 (Prop 30) revised tables •Georgia – updated for exemptions and allowances for 2013 – tables are the same. •Hawaii – Updated for new SDI Cutoff Limit (Weekly) for 2013 - $921.78 weekly – Max Tax $4.61 •Idaho •Illinois •Indiana County Tax – Hancock county tax •Kansas •Kentucky •Maryland •Michigan •Minnesota – Update exemptions to $3900 from $3800 •Nebraska •New Mexico •New York - (New York State and City of Yonkers) •North Dakota •Oregon •Puerto Rico •Rhode Island
•W-2 Format changes are included in this release for 2012 W-2s.
•The Electric File Specification has been updated to comply with required changes for the 2012 W-2 Electronic Format - EFW2.
•ENHANCEMENT - The Tax Rates Tab on the Payroll Properties screen has been updated to handle the new Additional Medicare Tax for payroll starting in 2013. This new tax is effective January 1, 2013 on all wages over $200,000 paid to any one employee. This additional medicare tax is not matched by the employer.
•ENHANCEMENT - PRECHECTAX.RPT - The traditional version of the pre-check tax register report updated with new tax and subject wage fields to accommodate the new Medicare Additional Tax.
•ENHANCEMENT - The Handwritten Payroll Check screen has been updated to accommodate the new Medicare Additional Tax.
•FICA – TOTAL Medicare – This needs to be the Total of ALL Medicare taxes being withheld on the employee's check including the Normal Medicare and the Additional Medicare added together.
•FICA – Additional Medicare – This is the amount of Additional Medicare that is included in the above TOTAL Medicare amount. This amount must be entered separately even though it is included in the Total Medicare Amount so that it can be excluded from the employer burden tax amount during the posting process. Additional Medicare is NOT matched by the employer like Normal Medicare taxes are.
•ENHANCEMENT - The Override Automatic Tax Calculations option has been updated to accomodate the new Medicare Additional Tax.
•Normal Medicare (Tax Amount and Subject To Wages) – These fields represent the Normal Medicare Amount ONLY and does NOT include any of the Additional Medicare Tax.
•Additional Medicare (Tax Amount and Subject To Wages) – These fields represent the Additional Medicare Amount ONLY and does NOT include any of the Normal Medicare Tax.
•CORRECTION - When the Employee List icon was pressed on the Payroll Time Card Screen, an exception error was displayed indicating that an operation could not be performed on a closed dataset called "PRTCBAT" and at that point the AccuBuild Program had to be closed via the task manager "End Task" option. This problem has been corrected in this release.
•UPDATED - The name of the FUTA tax report has been changed from '2011 FUTA Tax Liability Report' to 'FUTA Tax Liability Report' so there won't be any confusion on whether this report can be printed for non-2011 wages. This report was introduced in 2011 when the FUTA tax rate changed mid year from .8% to .6%. The 'actual tax amount' field will calculate at a rate of .8% when the report date range is set prior to July 1, 2011. If the date range is July 1, 2011 or later, the 'actual tax amount' field will calculate at .6%. Be sure to read the documentation on this report for an explanation of the over/under accrued field.
