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.

  • 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.
