Sage 500 ERP 1099 Tax Year 2020 Stand-Alone Updates - Refreshed

If you have previously downloaded this year's 1099 Stand-Alone Updates for Tax Year 2020 before 7:00 AM PST on December 28, 2020, then you should redownload them as a couple of things have changed.  Also, be sure to download and READ the release notes for the best experience.

    Ok, so what to do with databases that have been updated with either one of the two previous 1099 stand-alone updates for 2020?   Do they just need the data fix?    Or do any other database objects need to be updated?

    Either way, how exactly do we fix the databases that have been broken by previous updates?   I have two clients that have had previous update (the 2nd one) installed already.

    hello Ramos,

    Reports, including Vendor 1099 Activity Report, are used for cross checking data validities. 1099 Activity Report is the only report that we can use to verify1099 data being send. Without this report, we are assuming that data to Atrix is accurate. In our case, database and client portion updates were applied two times- one original TY 2020 then after first refresh. We have one server with one database that already been upgraded. What are remedies for us? Do I need to apply TY 2020 server upgrade with 1/8/2021 refresh again? Or is there any query that should be run to resolve problem with report?

    Ramon - What exactly is the status of the 1099 updates now?  I saw on Friday that you told people to not process 1099s until further notice.  But that notice is now removed.  So does it mean it's safe to process, or should we wait for update 3?    Also, we still need answers to the question of how to apply the latest update on databases that have been updated by the 2 previous releases already.    Please advise so that I can answer my clients' questions.

    Should the existing releases on the Sage Knowledgebase be removed for now since they are incorrect?

    Sorry about the late response.  I had hoped to have refresh #3 today, but due to technical issues with my systems that started at midnight, I cannot get them built and out.  Refesh #2 an prior will create valid 1099 submissions, but do not handle history that well.  Refresh #3 will handle history better.

    While refresh #2 will generate correct 1099 submission data to Aatrix, if possible, I think waiting for #3 would be best if someone has not started the process yet.  There will be an updated data fix for prior versions that expands upon the one recently create in early January (that datafix is actually added to the installs to make refresh #3 happen before the fact rather than after the fact, which is better).  At the moment, I am waiting to get my systems problem resolved.  We recognize that time is of the essence, which is why I know the systems issues problem popped up after midnight earlier this morning.

    I am not sure what you are referring to when you say "refresh #2" "refresh #3"

    is this problem part of the SAGE 500 -2020 Update ?    

  • in reply to Maria Murphy

    Maria, since the Original release of the standalone 1099 update for Sage 500, there have been 2 refreshes/fixes so far to that update.    The 3rd one (refresh #3) is imminent, as soon as Ramon's computer is fixed.    Hope this clarifies it.

    Hi Ramon,  Any luck with the refresh #3?  What's the ETA?

  • in reply to John Lian @The ERP Group

    Refresh #3 has been coded and will be built tonight.  Barring any hiccups, I would expect the new database install and the source code install to be posted Friday afternoon.  I will post a message when they are available from the portal.  Sorry for the delays and grief.
