Individual ITC's may supply slightly different instructions depending on the policies and procedures of the ITC.  Therefore, these procedures are intended to be general guidelines only.

Pre-Closing Procedures

The following pre-closing procedures can be completed any time prior to closing the calendar year.

•  

  1.  Use the Vendors grid to review the TIN type (SSN or EIN) for all 1099 vendors to make sure they are correct and identified.

  Tip
  In the Vendors grid, add the 'Type 1099', 'Tax ID Type', 'ID #" and 'YTD Total' columns to the grid.  Under 'Type 1099' filter by <> non 1099 to query all 1099 vendors. You can then use the YTD Total to filter on amounts (i.e. >=600). You can also save your filtered grid by using the 'REPORT' button.

  
  

  Note
  title Mass Change Tax ID Type
  Issue: For any districts imported before 08/28/18, the Vendor import did not properly import Classic's Tin Type for vendors whose Classic TinType was set to EIN.   Step-by-Step instructions and the mass change definition file are available to clean up the data for those districts who were impacted. USASR-3296 corrected this problem and was included on the 7.8.3 release on 8/28/18 so any USAS instances that were imported with version 7.8.3 or later do not need to perform the mass change routine.

  
  

•  

  2.  Run the SSDT 1099 Vendor Report to check 1099 data in order to ensure 1099 names, addresses, ID # and amounts are correct.   By default, the report includes all 1099 types.  You have the ability to include all 1099 types regardless of YTD amounts or those meeting the IRS requirement.  You may also run the report for specified 1099 Types (i.e. royalty payments)

  Note
  title Mass Change Locations
  Issue: For any districts imported before 7/11/18, the Vendor import did not create a separate 1099 locations for those vendors whose Name 2 field in Classic started with "1099:". Step-by-Step instructions and the mass change definition file are available to clean up the data for those districts who were impacted. USASR-3165 corrected this problem and was included on the 7.7.0 release on 7/11/18 so any USAS instances that were imported with version 7.7.0 or later do not need to perform the mass change routine.
