Sage 100

I think I have seen this but I can't find it now. How do you ""unhide"" 1099 Form Printing on the AP reports menu? Is there a Run function like the one in GL?

Found it! It is File, Run, *UNHIDETAXFORMS

That brings up an interesting thought...I sometimes see posts of utilities and wandered how you know that. If I don't see it in the Upgrade guide, then I don't know it exists. Has someone created a cheat sheet of all these 'unhides"" or utilites for Evernote.

@JaneCavanaugh was this in 2013? I just tried it in 2014 version and nothing happened. does anyone know if Sage took them away completely in 2014?

I was trying it in v2014 yesterday also, and got nothing.

It doesn't work for me either. I think that's a good thing though. Since they're not supported, I've been taking the time to use SY_MENU_UI to hide them on Sage 2013 systems to prevent people from using them.

it may be a good thing, but we just upgraded a client yesterday from V4.4 to Sage 100 2014. One of the ""features"" of this upgrade is that the old Form 1099 Printing functionality no longer exists because everything is expected to flow through Aatrix. That being said, Aatrix/Sage 100 is only capable of handling 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, and 1099-DIV forms. this client needs 1099-R forms. The way they handled this in the past was to store the information as if the payee was a DIV recipient, and then move fields on the old Crystal to correlate to the correct boxes on the 1099-R field. Thankfully, we discovered this YESTERDAY, and not December 31 we offered her two options (besides contacting Aatrix and possibly Sage to consider adding this as another 1099 type) First choice is to leave V4.4 intact and at the end of the year, populate the totals and run the form from the old version. This leaves LOTS of room for error. our other thought was to take that old 1099 form and reassign it to non-work tables and set it up as a Custom Crystal in AP. I'm thinking this is the better option, and since the form is really already there, it should only be a matter of re-assigning the proper files and fields. Maybe a few hours' work?

More often than not I see my customers picking up a 1099 form typer program and brute forcing it

I will suggest that to them. Apparently this client has a lot of 1099R forms and they are concerned about accuracy.

Aatrix has a site where you can upload 1099R information but you can only electronic file. It doesn't support printing. My client with 25 forms decided to type them.

@RonGouveia - I'll check out that site. if we can export it to excel or some other format from Sage, and then upload it, they might be interested in that.

Thanks Ron!
