There is also an option to set a minimum PO Number default, so the system won’t default to anything below the minimum.

1099 Modifier This tool enables you to change documents to 1099 documents if you have incorrectly set up your vendors, or if you forgot to market the 1099 vendor option on your Vendor Card for a year or a portion of the year.
