Suggestion: Add a "No" to Vendor 1099 checkbox

The problem with only having the single 1099 checkbox (meaning YES) is that you can't tell if the blank checkbox means the vendor doesn't get 1099'd or that you haven't yet determined if they get 1099'd - did you miss that vendor? So every year, you look back through W-9 forms to be sure. If you had the No check box, you'd be more certain that you have already done the work.

I don't know if this is the right place to make such a suggestion. Does anyone know a better way to reach the programmers? Is there a Blackbaud suggestion box? Accounts Payable folks, please vote this up if you agree. Thanks!

    @Tamara Evans, great idea! You can post the suggestion in our IdeaBank and others can vote on it. I'd check the search first for anything already posted with this so you can just vote in that case.

    Thank you Nikki! That's what I needed - a nudge to find the Idea box.

    @Nikki Baldwin What I don't like is (at least in the database) when you click the box for a 1099 because you're not sure. Then you receive the W-9 and they don't need one. You uncheck the box but then when you enter an invoice after that it asks you EVERY time if you want to mark this as a 1099 recipient. ?
