Accounts Payable
• Get the vendor setup properly BEFORE the first
payment
• Be sure to use the correct 1099 code (do NOT use
MISC alone – it needs a two digit number after it –
MISC-07 is the common one)
• Multiple 1099 types for the same vendor are not
easy to handle – best practice is to setup a
separate vendor card for each 1099 type
• Making Adjustments (VLEs are editable)
