Our financial audit includes an audit of our change control process. We were written up this year because developers (internal and gold partner consultants) had the ability to make code changes and deploy those changes to production. We reviewed the available roles in LCS with our gold partner and the conclusion was that the developers would require Environment Manager to be effective in their jobs. This role still allows the user to deploy to production. Please introduce a Deployment Manager role that will only allow the user to deploy to production.

On the Vendor screen there is a option to update the vendors 1099 data. This performs a process which updates the vendor transactions based on the current tax settings of the vendor. For example, if half way through the year I determine that the vendor has the wrong box assigned, I can update the value on the vendor screen and then run the Update 1099 and all transactions will be updated to reflect the new box assignment. Recently the IRS introduced an NEC box which we will use on most of our vendors. After updating all of the vendors for this change, we would like to update the vendor 1099 data in mass. This seems like an obvious thing to have under the periodic task section. the bath job should allow you to select the year and filter on things like the 1099 box to limit the scope of the update.
