For more than 60 years, IRS law required businesses to prepare and mail a Form 1099 to any non-corporate service provider receiving $600 or more in payments during a calendar year. The law ensures that sole proprietors report their income and that businesses everywhere shoulder the administrative cost of tax compliance. In yet another disappointing provision of “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,” Section 9006 on page 737 greatly expands this administrative burden by requiring that the form be prepared and mailed for payments on tangible goods in addition to services. But wait…there’s more! Not only has Congress expanded the types of transactions on which to require Form 1099 reporting, but businesses must now also report on all purchases from corporate sellers, as well. So, if I have 1,000 vendors, I can expect to send all of them a Form 1099, which will cost me $440 in postage alone.
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Ca) has introduced a bill in Congress to repeal this provision of PPACA, and this bill has languished in the House Committee on Ways and Means since April.
Incidentally, Sage Accpac ERP supports the IRS electronic filing requirement for filers of 250 or more Form 1099s.

The answer is yes!
First off Accpac is multi-lingual. Sage Accpac supports installing more than one language at a time, and languages are associated with users. There is not a French version of Sage Accpac nor a Spanish version; instead you can add French or Spanish as installed languages. Then you can have some users running French, some Spanish, and some English. This is especially important for International companies with branches or divisions in several countries. Of course the data in the database only has one version of each string, so if a French user enters say a batch description in French then a Spanish user will see this description in French. But all the forms, reports and messages will be in the correct language for each user. Out of the box English, French, Spanish, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) are supported by Sage Accpac ERP.
Thanks to Stephen Smith for this information.

- In the company or person context type, for example, %software in the Company Name field and select the Find action button.
All companies containing the word "software" are returned from this search.
