Question	Answer
Do I need to build the 1099 A/P Worktable (F045143) if I use the 1099 A/P Workfile Adjustments program (P04510FP)?	If you use the A/P Ledger method, you should build the F045143 table unless you have only a few 1099 forms to prepare. If you have to prepare only a few 1099 forms, you can use the Enter A/P Workfile Adjustments program to enter the 1099 information. If you use the G/L method, but you use the Enter A/P Workfile Adjustments program to enter additional records, do not build the F045143 table. However, before you enter any adjustments, you must clear the F045143 table.
Why does the F045143 table contain data from a previous year?	The Build 1099 A/P Workfile program (P04514FP) adds records to the F045143 table without clearing it first. If you have records for a previous year in the F045143 table, clear the table by using the Clear 1099 A/P Workfile program (R04CLRFP), and then run the Build 1099 A/P Workfile program. Be aware that the Clear 1099 A/P Workfile program clears all records from the F045143 table, including any adjustments that you add by using the 1099 A/P Workfile Adjustments program. If you made adjustments, you must enter them again after you clear and rebuild the F045143 table.
