To manage 1099 Reporting within Unimarket, Community Administrators must follow a specific configuration process covering global settings, individual supplier profiles, and invoice processing.
Global Configuration
To turn on the feature, go to the Administration module > Modules > Invoices. In the 1099 Reporting tab, check the Enable 1099 Reporting box.
Management Settings:
Default for Suppliers: Choose Reportable or Non-Reportable based on the majority of your supplier base.
Default 1099 Reporting Code: Set the most common code for reportable suppliers. This can be overridden at the supplier or invoice level.
Managing Codes: You can deactivate unused codes by unchecking the Active column.
Creating 1099 Codes
If you need to add a new code:
Click +Add 1099 Code.
Code: Enter the code for your ERP system (use only capital letters, digits, hyphens, and underscores).
Description: Enter a description that users will see when creating invoices.
Click Add or Add More.
Individual Supplier Settings
Administrators can override global defaults for specific suppliers:
Go to Administration > Suppliers.
Select the supplier and click the Settings tab.
Navigate to the Invoicing header.
1099 Reportable: Choose to inherit the global default or manually select Reportable or Not Reportable.
1099 Reportable Code: Assign a specific code if different from the default.
Once completed, scroll to the bottom of the screen and select Save.
Impact on Invoicing
Once enabled, a 1099 Reportable section appears on the Create Invoice screen.
Reportable Suppliers: The code box is visible and can be edited for that specific transaction.
Non-Reportable Suppliers: The code box is locked and cannot be edited.
Best Practice: If a supplier's status varies by transaction, set their default to Reportable. This gives users the flexibility to confirm reportability on a case-by-case basis. If they are never reportable, keep the setting as Not Reportable.
