We are upgrading to E10.1.600 from E9. To do our own reporting using E9 for 1099 vendors, we check 1099 on Supplier entry and then use our custom report to do what we want.
Now the system will not allow us to do this stating “a valid 1099 code is required”.
If we try to setup A MISC code, system asks for a 1099 Form type.
There doesn’t seem to be anywhere to enter a 1099 Form type to make it available in drop down for 1099 code maint?!
Anyone have any ideas? I’d hate to have to use a UD field to carry data that we used to do with system standard 1099 field on vendor
Did you setup the code and box for 1099 under Financial Management - Accounts Payable - Setup (1099 Code and 1099 Box)
There is also a standard conversion to create the initial data for 1099 processing. That is under User Run Conversions and has the description Create initial data for US 1099 Reporting
You may want to contact your CAM. There was a significant change in 1099s with the recent update to 10.1.600.x. I want to say it has something to do with a country code. 1099s are now country specific, including the US. We had to get a country specific license for the US from Epicor (I don’t believe it cost us anything because it should have been included) then work with support to get it working. There is a conversion program that needs to be run as well.
Quick note for any dedicated hosted customers finding this - I had to run conversion 920. We did not have anything at 9010. The conversionID is cvap0042
We just encountered this ‘valid 1099 code required’ error trying to update a supplier record in 10.2.300. We’re currently upgrading to 11.2 so I anticipate we’ll run into it there as well. This is a supplier (consultant) we imported from our previous system. THIS thread is the first thing I’ve seen on the subject. Can you give me a little background so I know how to approach it?
I also can’t find where a supplier would be designated a 1099.
After digging into this a little further I found the fields mentioned above. Turns out that we actually process 1099’s outside of Epicor, though we do use the field ‘PaymentReporting’ to identify them as such. If that field is checked, the field ‘TINType’ needs to have a value in it.
I’m at a different company now and haven’t looked at the 1099 area in awhile. If you still need help, Heather might be able to help? @ERPSysAdmin, can you help Tim?
