If you are interested in having your custom reports added to your Report Manual, file a ZenDesk ticket and specify which of your custom reports you would like to update.
Tip of the Week
Be Proactive With Your 1094C and 1095C
If you are processing and/or printing your 1094/1095 forms via Avionté, be proactive and pre-view your reports NOW! Whether you are using Greenshades, printing in office or exporting to another vendor, you will need to generate the feed to process your Avionté_1094C and Avionté_1095C forms.

You might also find it helpful to run the standard report View Greenshades Errors for any year/quarter. It will show all of the Greenshades errors, the date that the last feed was generated and who it was generated by.

Generate Feed and XML
Greenshades is accessed through your normal Avionté core application login.
  1. From the Main tree, select Weekly Process.
  2. Click on the Generate Green Shade shortcut button. The Green Shades window will load.
  3. Choose the proper Company & Date Information.
  4. In the File Info section choose your designated folder to store the XML on your local machine. You are able to delete this folder once the quarter end process has been completed.
  5. From the shortcuts, select the Generate Feed & XML button. You will receive one of the two messages listed below. Proceed accordingly with section A or B below.
A. File Generated
When the feed and XML have been successfully generated, the File Generated message is loaded. This message informs you that your file has been generated and is ready for use in building all of the year end returns. The XML file has been sent to the location that you designated.

Click OK in the File Generated message, continue processing your Avionté_1094C / Avionté_1095C forms according to your workflow.

B. Error Generating Feed
If you have received errors and your feed and XML were not successfully generated, you will be asked if you would like to see the errors. 
  1. In the Error Generating Feed message select Yes and the Error tab will open.
     
  2. You must make corrections to the severe errors in order for your 1094C / 1095C reports to generate data.
  3. After you have corrected the errors, return to the Details tab.
  4. Click the Generate Feed & XML button again to re-check for errors.
  5. After all severe errors are addressed, click the Generate XML shortcut button. The XML will generate.
When the file has generated, continue processing your Avionté_1094C and Avionté_1095C forms according to your workflow.
