Understanding the Clear A/P Workfile Program
If you use the A/P ledger method or a combination of the A/P ledger and G/L methods, ensure that you run the Clear A/P Workfile program (R04CLRFP) to delete previous year records from the 1099 A/P Worktable (F045143) before you begin processing 1099 returns for the current year. Do not run this program again for the current year unless you make a substantial mistake, such as when you run the Build A/P Workfile program (R04514FP) twice for the same type of return, and so cannot easily correct errors by adjusting records in the F045143 worktable.
The Clear A/P Workfile program removes all records in the F045143 table, including any adjustments that you entered using the Enter A/P Workfile Adjustment program (P04510FP). The Build A/P Workfile program (R04514FP) adds records to the F045143 table each time you run it.
