Enter A/P Workfile Adjustment

This table lists frequently asked questions about the A/P workfile adjustments, and their answers:

Question	Answer
I receive a duplicate error message when I adjust records in the F045143 table by using the Enter A/P Workfile Adjustment program. Why?	You can make only one entry in the F045143 table for each combination of company, address book number, and type of return. Rather than trying to add a new transaction, inquire on the supplier first and then change the existing transaction to reflect the sum of the two entries.
I am trying to adjust records by using the Enter A/P Workfile Adjustment program, but the Company Tax ID field is highlighted with error 3813. Why?	Verify that the company number resides in the Address Book Master table (F0101). Next, determine whether the company's address book record has the Tax ID field populated. You can verify the value in the Tax ID field using the Address Book Revisions program (P01012) or Supplier Master Information program (P04012).
I am trying to inquire on a supplier by using the Enter A/P Workfile Adjustment program. No information appears on the form. Why not?	No transactions currently exist for the supplier. Click the Add button on the Work With 1099 A/P Workfile Adjustments form and add a new transaction for the supplier.
To adjust an amount for a supplier by using the Enter A/P Workfile Adjustment program, do I inquire on the record and change the existing line or do I add a new line for the difference?	The answer depends on whether the amount was generated using the A/P ledger or G/L method. If you use the G/L method, add the adjustment record to the F045143 table. To view the adjustment for the supplier record, run the 1099 A/P - G/L Combined Register, which combines the F045141 and F045143 tables and prints the details for each supplier. If you use the A/P Ledger method, locate the existing record and change the information. The Enter A/P Workfile Adjustment program enables only one transaction for each combination of company, address number, and type of return.
When I enter a Social Security Number (SSN) in the Tax ID field by using the Enter A/P Workfile Adjustment program, the number looks like an employer identification number (EIN) with dashes in the wrong place. Why?	The person/corporation code in the supplier master record contains the value N (noncorporate entity), which designates an EIN format. Use the Supplier Master Revision form and change the code to P to print the number using the SSN format.
