Accounts Payable - Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to create an Independent Contractor Electronic Filing Report?

The Independent Electronic Filing Report is for the state of California. See Creating Independent Contractors for information on how to mark a business partner as an independent contractor. Because the FEIN is only stored in the Payroll module, you must set up your AP company in the Payroll module. From and To dates are mandatory fields and must be in the same calendar year. Only posted checks are included in the threshold. The report will include independent contractors whose calendar year to date payments have reached or exceeded the set threshold for the first time in the calendar year during the specified from/to period. At present, a hard copy of the report is not available for independent contractors. It will be included in the ASCII output data file if specified.

Where is the name and address coming from for Independent Contractor Reporting?

The first name, middle initial, and last name come from the contact information for the person marked as the independent contractor. The address and the contractor's SSN (i.e., registration number) come from the Business Partner screen.

Can I merge or combine two duplicate vendors/business partners?

This can only be done with a technical work order.

How do I locate batch numbers?

Please refer to Accounts Payable - Locating Batch Numbers for more information.

Why is a posted voucher not available for voiding?

There are a couple of reasons why a posted voucher may not be available for voiding:

  • An invoice with an attached memo will not be available for voiding. Voiding an invoice with an attached memo is handled by writing another memo against the voucher to offset the previous memo. For more information, please refer to Accounts Payable - Entering Debit/Credit Memos.

  • If an AP invoice batch is posted using the Post Invoices (no GL/JC) utility, the batch or invoices cannot be voided. For more information, please refer to Accounts Payable - Post Invoices – No GL/JC.
