Company Address Book Numbers

You must verify the address book number that is assigned to a company or payer. The system uses this information to:

• Print the company name as the payer's name, on 1099 returns.

• Combine company records for 1099 processing.

Typically, the company number is the same as the company's address book number. The company number has a limit of five characters. The address book number can have a maximum of eight characters. If the company number is not the same as the address book number for the company, you must provide a cross-reference between the two numbers using the Company Names & Numbers program (P0010).

If the Company Address Number field on the Company Setup form is blank, the company number and company address book number are the same. If the Company Address Number field contains a value and the value is not the same as the company number, then the company number and company address book number are not the same and the system uses the mailing address that is assigned to the company address book number.

Information about company address book numbers is stored in the Company Constants table (F0010).
