Contents of the Print 1099 Edit Report Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Print 1099 Edit Report screen.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Field Description
Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Sort By

Field Description
1st Sort
  • Taxable Entity: This is the default sort option. Leave this option selected if you want to sort your report by taxable entity. If you save your print parameters for this report, this sort option is identified in the Query table as TAXABLE ENTITY.
  • Pay Vendor: Select this option to sort your report by pay vendor. When you select this option, the At Taxable Entity option is cleared and disabled. If you save your print parameters for this report, this sort option is identified in the Query table as PAYVEND.

You can save your sort options and selection criteria for this report with or without printing. After you make your selections, click to save. Enter an alphanumeric identifying code and a short description for this set of print parameters. Then click OK. Later, use Query from this screen to access the print parameters you created and run the same report without having to enter all the information over again.

If you want to keep these parameters but want to run a slightly different report, use Clone to copy the parameters and make minor changes to them without changing your saved parameters.
