Quantech 6.0 (SP7 and SP8)

[Guest bdielman]

We will be upgrading to SP7 and SP8 over the coming weekend. Has anyone run into any issues regarding these two releases?

Thanks in advance!

We have vru/web access and had not been running the vru data base as a live database but ran the vrumove function each day. When we recently applied the service packs the only issue that we ran into was that the vrumove no longer worked (locked up every time you tried to run it) and we had to switch to running the live database. They did get us a fix for this about a week later.

doesn't appear to be any problems with the svc packs themselves.

svc pack 8 has a top heavy distribution program that is suppossed to be run (or at least should be run), so read your notes that come with the program. its buried in there.

we have encountered one issue. had an owner that quit in 2000. he is still an owner with a balance, system still treats him as key, though he has not performed svc for a year.

I guess it is one of those quirks - system must be looking at ownership first, rather than term date.

The system will treat the owner as key for the plan year ending 12/31/2001 because the old rules apply (regarding lookback, etc.)

The top heavy testing module should make the determination of the top heavy status for the plan year ending 12/31/2002 based on the balances as of 12/31/2001 BUT invoking the new rules. This should have this owners balances excluded from the test. NOTE: Census for 2001 will still show him as key because he is for 2001 processing. He will become former key (or some other code) when eligibility is first run in 2002.

Hope this helps!
