Vendor Compensation is the total amount a vendor has been paid across every project in your workspace for the selected time period.

FlipperForce aggregates every expense assigned to that vendor, regardless of which project it came from, so a contractor who worked on three houses shows one combined total.

Per IRS guidelines, if a contractor provides both labor and materials as part of their service, the full invoice amount is typically reportable, so the total expense amount is included.

Auditing the total

We believe in "trust, but verify." If a vendor's total looks higher or lower than expected, you can easily audit the numbers:

• The "View Expenses" Link: Next to each vendor in the 1099 Report, you will see a View Expenses link.
• Global Vendor Expense Report: Clicking this link will take you to a detailed Global Vendor Expense Report filtered specifically for that vendor.
• Cross-Project Visibility: This report shows a line-by-line list of every single expense, including the Project Name, Date, Category, and Amount across your entire portfolio.

This transparency allows you to quickly identify if an expense was miscategorized or if a specific project's costs are pushing a vendor over the $600 threshold.
