Payments - The payment flags control the selection of checks for the vendor.
- If Hold All Payments is checked, then the system will not generate checks for that vendor - even when payment vouchers exist for that vendor.
- If No Purchases is selected, the system will not allow payment vouchers to be entered for the vendor.
- If Separate Check is selected, then the system will generate a separate check for each outstanding payment voucher for the vendor. Otherwise the system will print one check for the grand total of all outstanding payment vouchers when checks are printed.
- If Always Take Discount is selected, the system will select that voucher for payment even when it is not scheduled for that selection period, if waiting until the next regular selection period would cause the firm to lose the discount entered for that voucher.
- The Payment Group allows the user to define if a vendor's payments should be selected within a defined group. The group is created and defined by typing in the group name. For example, a firm might want to always pay a particular set of vendors in the first week of the month. They could type the code WK1 in the payment group field for all of those vendors, then select checks by that payment group.
- Taxes- The taxes portion is used to supply information that pertains to the
issuance of tax documents.
- If Gets 1099 is checked, then this vendor is set up to generate a 1099 if they meet the minimum disbursements required by the IRS to get a 1099 form.
- Report as: The selection made here will determine the field on the 1099 form where the amount paid will be entered, based on the type of payments made. Options include Rents, Other Income, Non-employee Compensation, and Gross Proceeds to Atty.
- Tax ID Type: User can select Federal ID number or Social Security number. This option determines where the dash will be inserted.
