Setting up Vendor using W9

SUGGESTED

This is our first year using Sage 50 for printing 1099s and I have quite a few W9s that have both a name & business name filled out, but only see one name field in the vendor record.  How do you set up the vendor record to match the W9.  (I was able to use the remit address page to set up a different address) but can't see where I can add both name fields.  Thanks in advance for your help on this.

    Yes, you are correct. There is only one Name field in Vendors record. As a workaround you can use one of the 5 Customizable Fields for the Business Name.

    1.Go to Maintain, Vendors...

    2.Click on Customize these fields for your business (bottom right side)

    3.Enter the desired titles for the fields . Example, Business Name

    4.Click OK

    5.Close the Maintain Vendors screen

    6.Reopen the Maintain Vendors screen

    You should now see a Customized Field titled Business Name. This field will be available for all Vendors. Select the Vendor ID and type in Business Name. Click Save when done.
