1. Payroll – Doesn’t print the 941 Form. Prints only a worksheet.
Then we have to type or fill out the 941 downloaded from IRS.

2. We are an S Corp – Have yet to find a way to handle S Corp benefits for shareholders to add in the benefits for FED W/H tax and SUTA; but not tax it for FICA & MED. The taxable codes are only set up for deductions; not other pay. Have been told that there is no solution in Vision; we need to edit our W2’s.

Haven’t had to type a 941 in years and even Quickbooks handles all types of taxable / non taxable benefits.

3. Try to get a balance at the end of any given month, of unbilled reimbursables, and it doesn’t happen. As soon as a billing cycle is run, or additional vouchers are keyed on any given day; the balance changes, even if you run the same report in a prior period. It doesn’t keep track of WHEN the reimbursable was billed, just that it was billed.

Very much project oriented; but lacks in the accounting dept.

i’m too planning for a deployment of Deltek Vision. I was wondering too how things are running for you now.

The Deltek reseller was telling us to run this on 2 separate bare metal servers which i find excessive for only 2 admins and max 30 employees that will only enter timesheets… I’m considering running that on Tyan Tank TA-26 with a single dual core Opteron 2216 and 8 Gigs RAM. I’ll install SQL on a different physical drive array. I know that it’s all M$ unefficient stuff but i doubt that i’d need that much hardware (2 servers or more) for this.

Thanks !

Glad I stumbled onto your blog. I am about to implement Deltek Vision, and would like to run it on VMware servers as well. I see this post is about a year old, how are things running now?

A million thanks for any feedback you have.

The reason we selected Vision is that it does three things for us: First, it supports our mulitple-company organization. Second, it supports all the different types of billing we do (fixed fee, cost plus, rate tables, upset limit, etc.). Third, it has an upgrade path from our old system (CFMS) that allowed us to bring all our data forward.
