If you wish to pay a Salesperson as a 1099 employee, much like an installation subcontractor, this can be done. With some setup, the Salesperson Payables System module will interface with A/P Open Item Maintenance so that 1099 payments to Salespeople can be posted without requiring you to exit the module. If you are interested in using this feature, a G/L Account for Salesperson Expense entered in the Branch Maintenance screen. Contact Support to add this once you've created the account.
After this is set, there are applicable fields that need to be completed in the Salesperson Maintenance module. At the bottom left of the screen, when the Sub Contractor box is checked, you will select the applicable A/P Vendor ID for the Salesrep.
Please note: You do not need to create a "matching" A/P Vendor ID, since there are only 3 characters for Salesperson ID, but you WILL need to set up a Vendor ID specific to each Salesperson for this process to work.
Make sure you add the Salesperson's SS# in the Vendor Maintenance screen.
After setup is complete, open the Salesperson Payables process. When you mark a commission as Paid, the system will automatically open the A/P Open Item Maintenance screen and populate the available fields. Review or complete the information, then save. The system will return you to the Salesperson Payables module so you can continue processing the next commission.
