Important Highlights

Improvements

• Implemented the ability to print 1099s (MISC & NEC) on pressure seal forms.  In order to print on the pressure seal forms you'll need to select the new Output File Type option "Printer/Sealer Copies".  Once you click "Generate Submission File" the printable 1099s will be generated and a PDF will be available to send to the printer.  Please note, currently if you select both NEC and MISC "Type of Returns" a single file will generate containing both NEC and MISC 1099s.  This is not ideal for printing on the separate forms and we have updated USASR-5027 to ensure separate files are generated.

  •  

    • A couple of things to note.  During test printing we found that if the vendor's contact info is entered in mixed case it will print on the 1099 that way.  We are updating the generation of the print forms to force all name and address information to be in all CAPITAL letters.  We also found that if the Organization & Vendor's name and address fields are too long (beyond 45 characters) they will not display properly on the printed document.  We will be correcting these issues on USASR-5027 as well.

    • Reminder, SSDT is supporting ONE blank pressure seal form for each of the 1099 types.  The forms are 8 1/2 X 11 Z-Fold.

• Ability to change a vendor on a "new" PO without reopening the posting period associated with the PO date.  You cannot change a PO to remove a vendor, making it a multivendor PO.

  • To change the Vendor, select the Repair option on the PO.  From the vendor tab modify the vendor to a new/different vendor.  Again, this can not be modified to a blank vendor.

Internal

• Created a service layer for Civil Proceedings.  This is an internal change only with no impact to the current Civil Proceedings UI.

• Created a service layer for Scenarios.  This is an internal change only with no impact to the current Scenarios UI.
