EBMS Year End Payroll Update - Steps to Follow

The current update will include the 2018 W-2 and 1099 tax forms. You can run this update at your convenience but it should be run prior to closing the 2018 payroll year. If the 2018 payroll year is already closed, go to Payroll > Utilities and run the Tax/Deduction Rate Update...

Notice for all Windows 8 users:
You will receive a Windows protected your PC message. You will need to click on More Info below the message and select Run Anyway.

From any computer with EBMS installed, run the payroll update from the link above. This can be done at any time even if you have not yet completed the last payroll of 2018. Various messages will come up, depending on your Windows version and setup. After double-checking the information, choose Allow or Run or Open to continue the process. If you have an anti-virus program running, it will warn you that a malicious script has been detected. Choose to Allow/Authorize this Script. The update requires a login to EBMS with administrator permissions. When the update has run successfully you will receive the message that the “2019 tax files have been copied successfully for this company!”. This needs to be repeated once for each company that you have setup in EBMS (it does not need to be on each computer).

Important! The tax rates in EBMS will not update until you close the payroll year, download the automatic update, and run the "Tax/Deduction Rate Update" utility under Payroll > Utilities.

How do I activate a vendor to receive a 1099 form?

My Inventory Count doesn't match my Report - Why?

Inventory Count doesn't match Report

If a customer's inventory count does not match the report they are running, it is usually the result of something not being processed.

You will have to look at what is:

• On hand
• Available
• Shipped

If they have outstanding (shipped items) that are not "processed" yet, it will affect what shows up as On Hand, but will not affect the report they print out.

The reports only look at "processed" transactions. Posting and processing are not the same thing. Post first then process.
