New soft error in effect for two Spend Categories
A new soft error/warning will occur when the Spend Categories SC00118 (Other Purchased Services) & SC00035 (Other Personal Services) are utilized.
This soft error will appear if either of these two spend categories are utilized in the following purchase activities:
- Ad Hoc Payments
- Requisitions
- Purchase Orders
- Change Order
- Supplier Invoice Requests
- Supplier Invoices
- Supplier Invoice Adjustment
- Supplier Contracts
The soft error that will appear is as follows:
“This Spend Category reports as income on the 1099 tax document. Please confirm that the proper Spend Category is being utilized for this payment. ONLY use if no other Spend Category applies.”
When reviewing 1099s for 2023, the Payments Team determined that Spend Categories SC00118 and SC00035 were frequently misused, resulting in a large volume of adjustments. They ask users to be diligent in determining the appropriate Spend Category for a transaction. If you have questions regarding these Spend Categories, please contact the Payments Team.
For more information about 1099 applicability, please refer to the Payment Services Vendor Management webpage.
