1099 Process > Invoices
-
View and change 1099 invoice and vendor information from the 1099 batch process. This can be completed at any time during the year, it doesn’t have to wait until the 1099s are being created.
- Remember you must click to open the vendor to make the change. No changes can be made to the vendor from this window.
- You can sort by the Send 1099 column to get all the vendors together.
1099 invoices modification
- As soon as you save changes the AP History will be modified.
- This process can be completed any time before 1099s are generated in January 2022.
- Invoices can be modified after the 1099s have been generated. This will change the history but the generate step will need to be done again so any manual information modified will be lost.
- Tip: You can do this a little at a time in the same batch. Use the filters to only see the 1099-Misc invoices.
