Step 2: Update CDM+ Mobile

CDM+ 11.1 includes support for Mobile Receipts. In additional to the CDM+ 11.1 beta, you will need access to the beta release of CDM+ Mobile 2.3. Email support@cdmplus.com to request access to the beta. Include:

  • For each individual who needs access to CDM+ Mobile 2.3:
    • Their name

You do not need to update all CDM+ Mobile users to CDM+ Mobile 2.3. You can elect to provide the beta to only those users wanting access to mobile receipts while other users run the published version of CDM+ Mobile.

CDM+ Mobile 2.2 or later is required to access CDM+ 11.0.x databases.

Payroll

...

includes a correction tax calculations for Georgia State Income Tax. Previously the standard deduction was mis-calculated at $4,600.00 for the year for those filing as Married. CDM+ 11.1 uses the the correct deduction of $3,000.00 for the year for persons marked as Married Filing separate Return. These deductions are defined in Table E on page 42 of the Employer Tax Guide. Because of this mis-calculation, it's possible employee state income tax for 2020 has been under-withheld. We recommend review YTD withholdings and, where necessary, add additional state tax withholding to catch up employees to avoid owing any state taxes when filing 2020 returns.

FTP Sync (Self-Hosted Clients)

The FTP sync feature has been removed from automatic backups for self-hosted clients. A file sync feature is not specific to Suran's software and can be accomplished using a number of 3rd party tools. 

Multiple Credits and Debits to the Same Asset on a Single Ledger Entry 

In CDM+ 11.1, all credits and debits to assets with the same account number are combined into a single item on the bank reconciliation. This behavior has been present in previous releases for Advanced Fund Accounting, but is now present for all clients regardless of the Advanced Fund Accounting setting. This change allows the Bank Reconciliation window to function predictably when multiple asset accounts share the same number and Advanced Fund Accounting is not enabled—a rare, but legitimate configuration.

This change assumes a ledger entry represents at most a single financial transaction per bank account. If you are accustomed to entering multiple deposits and withdrawals to and from a single bank account on a single ledger entry, CDM+ 11.1 will no longer allow you to clear that activity as independent debits and credits. Instead, enter a separate ledger entry for each financial transaction to your bank account. If you have routine bank activity you enter, such as 3rd party payroll, consider using Recurring Ledger Entries to optimize this process.

This change can also cause an undesired impact if you use the same account number on multiple assets to designate separate bank accounts in the chart of accounts. In this situation, re-number your chart of accounts to use a distinct account number for each asset representing a distinct bank account.
