2 minute read time.

Software Notice 16-D for Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate was sent on 2/25/2016.

What's new in this update
The following changes were made to help with preparation of the Affordable Care Act 1095-C forms:
A new check box was added to the Affordable Care Act Compliance Details window. If you do not select the Employee enrolled in employer-sponsored self-insured healthcare plan check box, covered individuals are no longer included on the 1095-C form for that employee. You no longer see a “Rejection Alert” message in Aatrix regarding covered individuals for those employees.
When you enter a covered individual who has a social security number that starts with zero, the full social security number now displays correctly in Aatrix.
When you enter a covered individual without a social security number but include the date of birth, the date of birth now displays correctly in Aatrix.
