1099 2021 Print Alignment Release 10.0.23

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mark Schurmann2 93

We just deployed release 10.0.23 to our test environment to resolve print alignment issues for our 1099s.  We only issue MISC and NEC types.  This release includes changes for the 2021 1099s.  While the alignment is very, very close, the left justified values are need to move 1 to 2 characters to the right.  

It looks like a similar topic is opened each year at the 1099 deadline. I thought I'd get the stream started early.

There a lot of variables in play:

1.  I'm printing the form from the PDF off of the government website.  When printing this it is important to select "Actual Size" rather than "Fit".  This makes a noticeable difference in the printed document and thus the alignment of the 1099 data.

2.  I am also printing the 1099 from d365 to a PDF.  I then print to the form in step 1 using the same printing rules.

3.  I am currently printing to a inkjet printer from my home.  The 1099s will ultimately be printed on a Xerox printer in the office.  This is a variable, but I don't think this shouldn't matter.

I'd really like to avoid customizing the report when it is so close.  I'm hoping someone might have a trick up their sleeve.

    RE: 1099 2021 Print Alignment Release 10.0.23

    To assist the rest of the D365 community with the 1099 printing, I thought I would provide some info on the successful completion of the 1099 alignment issue.

    After applying the 10.0.23 release and removing the customization that was causing trouble (see previous post), we attempted to print the 2021 1099s for MISC and NEC forms to pre-printed stock purchase at the local office supply.  The initial print alignment was awful.  We then figured out that the pre-printed stock had a 1/2 inch tear off on the right side.  We removed the tear off prior to loading the stock in the printer and both the MISC and NEC 1099s printed perfectly.  

    I believe that the tear off is there simply to pad the form to 8 1/2 x 11 for printers that cannot adjust to the 8" width.  I imagine that this is pretty uncommon.  There may be other 1099 stock that does not have the tear off.  It would seem that the D365 alignment assumes a form width of 8".  We will look for 8" x 11" stock next year.

    One other note to tie this up in a bow.  We did not print directly to the printer from D365 using the Document Routing Agent.  Instead we printed the 1099s to a pdf file and then printed the PDF.  When doing this, it is important to set the print parameter to "Actual Size" rather than "Fit".  

    I hope other will find this post helpful.

    Our partner determined that there was a customization to the 1099 report from the prior year that was preventing the execution of the 1099 changes made in the 10.0.23 release.  After the customizations were removed the 1099 NEC and 1099 MISC printed perfectly.

    The screenshot should show the problem.  The first character of the left most fields is outside of the boxes.  The description of this fix does not quite describe what we are seeing.  Plus we've applied the quality update to the 10.0.23 release, so if this was a hotfix available for 10.0.23, it would already be deployed to our test environment.  The item appears to be for 10.0.25.  If that is when it will be available, it won't do anyone any good because the 10.0.25 release will not be GA until mid February.  1099 deadline is 1/31/2022.
