  • Report Control Information is used to set up transmitter and payer information, such as company address, phone numbers and payer numbers, Suppliers and business units that will be included in reports, and piggyback states. This is something that should be done for each year’s 1099 Processing, even if you ran 1099 Processing in PeopleSoft the previous year.
  • This process combines the voucher and payment information in the withholding transaction tables. The system then uses these tables to generate the Withholding reports.

Related QRGs

  • Vouchers by Supplier process to view all of the Supplier withholding transactions by Voucher.
  • Withholding Payments page enables you to review all payments and associated vouchers made to withholding entities by Supplier.

  • The Withholding Invoice Line Update process can be used to update withholding information for a withholding Supplier at an invoice line level.
  • The Update Withholding process must be run after making changes using either the Withholding Supplier Update Process or the Withholding Invoice Line Update Process.
  • You can adjust withholding manually if necessary. This process is for manually adjusting posted withholding transactions by Supplier or adding withholding entries from a legacy or third-party system.
  • This process creates a flat file for the IRS and populates the “Withholding to Send” and “Copy B” tables. The system then uses the data to create a file for the tax entity, or IRS, and forms for the Suppliers.
  • The 1099 Withhold to Send Detail Report lists all the information created by the 1099 reporting process and is a replica of the data in the file that you are sending to the IRS.
  • When you are ready to send your IRS file, you will need to send it electronically to the IRS.
  • The final step in the entire 1099 process is to run the WTHD_SENT Process, which is the Withholding Sent File.  Note: Do not run this process until you have sent your file to the IRS and received confirmation of successful transmission.
