Contact the CAPPS Product Team at CAPPS.Product.Team@cpa.texas.gov with questions or for additional information.

CAPPS Financials Changes

  • IN Browser transactions from prior fiscal years are processed by the USAS to CAPPS inbound processing and will now be archived. These transactions can be unarchived if needed by agencies. This will run statewide for all agencies. (SR 28470)
  • Allows a deposit batch to be unapproved if it has not yet been delivered to the state treasury. This allows users to make corrections to deposits with errors before sending them to USAS. (SR 37215)
  • Secure OMBO_RULE component records and allow them to be queried in both UAT1 and PRD. (SR 41596)

CAPPS HR/Payroll Changes

  • The annual base benefit rate (ABBR) for a dual/concurrent job/dual employee includes the sum of the employee’s salary for all active job records when determining the new fiscal year ABBR amount so ERS is updated correctly and reflects the sum of the employee wages for all active employment instances. (SR 14109)
  • Haz Duty Pay was added to the Total Compensation page so the page reflects all total compensation included on an employee’s insurance salary (ABBR). (SR 49793)
  • The correct edits are firing when Core Human Resources (HR) users enter a promotion for a higher minimum salary group so they use the correct action/action reason code when entering a promotion. (SR 52805)
  • The IAM/TDIS interface updates specific CAPPS security role actions into the corresponding TDIS role actions to be transmitted via the TDIS interface CSV file. (SR 53857)
  • The IAM batch interface successfully processes employees who are dually employed so employee information from CAPPS will be sent to TDIS for processing accurately. (SR 54111)
  • The pre-calc job stream runs to success, turns off the OK to Pay flag, and reports employees configured incorrectly so payrolls can be processed successfully. (SR 54415)
  • CAPPS will automatically lock decentralized superusers from making schedule changes in correction mode once payroll has begun processing so prior month changes are limited only to TL superusers. (SR 54591)
