- 43. A/P Info In versions 4.1 and prior you can enter checks or invoices in the next period, but only for one future period. You can enter checks or invoices for as many periods as you wish in version 4.2 or 4.3 although it is highly recommended that you regularly perform monthly period end processing within 30 days of month end.

- 48. A/P FAQs Q: Can I enter checks or invoices for the next period or next year before closing the current period? A: Yes, but in version 4.1 and earlier, you can only enter invoices and checks for one future period. (ie... if the current period is 12, then future transactions can only be entered for period 1 of the next year.) In version 4.2 and 4.3 you can enter checks and invoices in any future period.
- 49. A/P FAQs Q: When I perform Year End for Accounts Payable, do I lose my 1099 information? A: No. 1099 information gets tracked separately using the “1099 Calendar Year” field found in AP options. In version 4.1 and prior, you can store two years of 1099 data, current year data and one future year’s data. Your current year data will be purged when Form 1099 printing takes place and you have answered “Yes” at the “Do you want to Clear 1099 Payments?” prompt.
- 50. A/P FAQs Q: How long can I wait before I have to print 1099 forms? A: Per Federal law the vendor 1099’s need to be postmarked by Jan 31st and copies mailed to the IRS by Feb 28th.
- 51. A/P FAQs Q: Does my Invoice History File and Payment History file get purged during Year End processing? A: No. The system retains this data until manually purged.
- 52. A/P FAQs Q: How can I manually purge Invoice History and Payment History? A: From the Period End menu select Period End Processing. Click on the “Purge Detailed Invoice/Payment History” radio button. Type in the date through which you want to purge. (ie… if you type in 12/31/05, all invoice history dated on or before 12/31/05 will be purged.)
- 53. A/P FAQs Q: Do I have to print my 1099s before I close AP? A: In version 4.1 and earlier, you can retain 2 years worth of 1099 information. In version 4.2 and later you can retain 99 years of 1099 information. Therefore, you do not have to print 1099s before performing Year End processing in A/P.
- 54. A/P FAQs Q: My 1099s print with last year’s 1099 information. A: If your A/P options show the 1099 Calendar Year as 2009 then clear your 2009 1099 information. First print the 1099s for 2009 by selecting 1099 Form Printing from the Reports menu. Print 1099s for all Vendor Types and Form Types. Answer “Yes” to “Do you want to clear all 1099 Payments?”
- 55. A/P FAQs Q: What happens when you “Clear all 1099 Payments?” A: The “Next Year” 1099 payment information replaces the “Year to Date” 1099 payment information. The 1099 Calendar Year field in A/P options changes to the next year. Note: Do not purge until you are sure that this information is correct. This is especially true if you have not yet printed all of the 1099’s.
- 56. A/P FAQs Q: Can I change the AP options field “1099 Calendar Year” manually? A: Do not change the “1099 Calendar Year” field manually; doing so may result in 1099 payments being posted to an incorrect year. If you have started out with the incorrect 1099 calendar year in the AP options you must first determine whether the “Year-to-Date” column or the “Next Year” column found on the 1099 Payment history screen in Vendor Maintenance is correct. Continued……….
- 57. A/P FAQs …Continued…. If the “Year-to-date” column contains the correct current year information, you may then change the “1099 Calendar Year” field in AP Options to 2010. If the “Next Year” column contains the correct current year information print the 1099s for 2009 and answer “Yes” to “Do you want to clear all 1099 Payments?”
- 58. A/P FAQs Q: How can I change incorrect amounts that were printed on my 1099 forms? A: These amounts can be changed through vendor maintenance. From the Vendor Maintenance screen for the vendor with the incorrect amounts, select the Additional tab click the 1099 History button and manually enter the correct amounts in the boxes with the incorrect amounts.
- 59. A/P FAQs Q: When does the 1099 payment file get updated? A: The vendor 1099 payment file is updated at the time you update the Check Register or the Manual Check Register.
- 60. A/P FAQs Q: I updated my Check Register for a 1099 vendor but the vendor’s 1099 total was not updated. A: For a payment amount to be updated to the vendor’s 1099 total, the vendor must have been selected as a 1099 vendor at the time the invoice was entered/updated. The payment amount can be manually added to the vendor’s 1099 total, by clicking the 1099 History button on the Additional tab in Vendor Maintenance.
