Generate the Work File

After you enter data on the Form 1099 Processing form and define the state IDs, you generate a work file. The work file contains all the 1099 data currently in your vendor records.

You generate the work file before you use the Form 1099 Editor to change data in the work file. The edits that you make have no effect on the data in the database.

Prerequisite: You must set up state identification numbers before you generate the 1099 work file.

To create the work file:

1. On the Navigation menu, click Accounting > Form 1099 Processing.
2. On the toolbar of the Form 1099 Processing form, click Generate Work File.

After you generate the work file you can edit it, verify payments, preview 1099s, and transfer 1099 data to a disk file for electronic reporting.
