Getting Message that a 1099 Record Already Exists for a Vendor

As the program gathers the voucher distribution lines flagged to be included on a 1099, it looks at the Vendor record to see if the vendor is set for a 1099 and places the 1099 type in the field in the Work File called “1099 Type.”  If more than one vendor has the same Tax ID (this includes more than one Vendor record with a blank Tax ID field), the program will return a message that a duplicate was found and let you know it is creating a record for the “second” vendor in the Work File and flagging the 1099 type as None.  If you are running this for the first time, you may have to go through this process quite a lot if you do not gather Tax ID information up front from your vendors.  Below is a sample of the message that appears when duplicate Tax IDs are found:

The 1099 type is NOT changed on the Vendor record itself but instead in the 1099 work file.
