Error when creating invoice with form 1099 amounts

Marnee Dearman

We are trying to create an invoice that includes the form 1099 box numbers and amounts.

According to the sample the box numbers are in this format:

"form_1099_box_numbers": [
{
"number": "7-Nonemployee compensation",
"state": "SC",
"amount": 50.0
}
]

On my invoice the form 1099 box number is like this:

"form_1099_box_numbers": [
{
"number": "7-Nonemployee compensation",
"amount": 50.0
}
]

We also tried:

"form_1099_box_numbers": [
{
"number": "7",
"amount": 50.0
}
]

We get this error:

{"Error":"Failed to save invoice","Details":["Invalid Code table entry: Box number"],"ErrorPath":"cap1099distribution.-1.boxnumber"}

I guess Im using the wrong code table entry box number, but I dont know what exactly they should be. I have looked in the Fields and table in Control Panel but dont see anything listed for 1099 box numbers.

@Marnee Dearman
Apparently the “number” is the name of the box. This worked:

"form_1099_box_numbers": [
{
"number": "Nonemployee compensation",
"amount": 50.0
}
]

To BlackBaud please update the documentation. This is very confusing.
