Weekly Dynamic: 1099 Fixes

It's that time of year, did you setup all your 1099 vendors properly throughout the year? Did you get W-9's from everyone to ensure that you have the correct tax id number? You didn't? Well this proves that you're normal and you're not a superhero from outer space, sorry.
But you still have to do your 1099's. The biggest issue is fixing vendors that weren't setup as 1099 vendors. You can use smart lists or other reporting options to get the amounts paid to these vendors, once you have identified them. In Dynamics GP, you change 1099 totals in Cards-Vendor-Summary-Period (NOT the Yearly button).  Once in the Vendor Credit Summary window, you can adjust a particular period to correct the vendor's 1099 amount.
Those who work for bosses with a touch of OCD may have to update the correct period for each payment. But then, you folks are most likely to have this right in the first place. For everyone else, you can use period 12 to make your 1099 adjustment. Simply change the 1099 Amount line to properly adjust the 1099 amount.
Keep in mind that this may not be the total. A vendor may have started as a 1099 vendor and then flag was turned off mid year. It's possible that all of a vendor's payments should not be on the 1099.
In addition I have 2 videocast on 1099's ready to go. Technical difficulties have prevented their release but they should be out soon.
