suggestion to add a field in the Maintain Vendors: Purchase Info window where you could select from a dropdown what type of entity the Vendor is based off their W-9.
Why; because previous experience working for several years at a US CPA firm preparing 1099s annually during the month of January you do not need to send C-Corporations 1099s; it is not a requirement. If Sage could include the entity type that is already on the W-9 the costs charged to clients for CPA firms to process their 1099s would be reduced and reflected in their billing for those processing fees.
I am happy to discuss further GAAP & Tax reporting requirements & ideas to make Sage software products more effective.
