1099's combine two vendors with same EIN



Description of Issue

How to print 1099s for Vendors with same EIN?

Context

Cause

1099s pull from the Vendors SSN or FID, so if two vendors share the same EIN, the program cannot differentiate between the two.

Resolution

There are 3 options:

  1. Take the EIN off one vendor in the Vendors program
  2. Print the vendor 1099 who still has an EIN
  3. Remove the EIN off the vendor you just printed and put it on the other to print at separate times


  1. Update one Vendor from an Active to a Stop status within the Vendors program.
  2. Once that is done, import any 1099 amounts that was on that vendor to the vendor remaining active to combine the 1099 amounts


  1. Merge the two vendors in the Vendors Merge program.
    1. This will take the history of one vendor and combine it into the vendor you are merging it with
    2. Then there will only be one Vendor, with combined information/history
