About the AR Release Retainage Detail Form

You can use the AR Release Retainage Detail form to review and manipulate released amounts for invoice items. You can access this form by clicking Release Details from the AR Release Retainage form.

Once the amount of retainage to release has been calculated for an invoice, use this form to manipulate the released amount for each item on the invoice. The percentage/amount specified here for invoice items does not affect the total amount of retainage released for the invoice.

If the total amount of retainage released is not enough to include all the items on an invoice, only the items that were included display in the grid. For example, if an invoice has three lines, but the amount of retainage released only covers one item, then items two and three will not display in the grid.

Retainage Tax

If you include retainage in tax calculations and you have specified to "distribute tax to retainage" (option in AR Company Parameters), the Line Open Retg Tax column shows the total of open retainage tax for the selected line. You will note that although the retainage tax is displayed in this column, it is also included in the Line Open Retg amount, since that amount reflects the total retainage amount due.

The total amount of release retainage (including retainage tax) displays in the Release Amt column. If you have chosen to display the Release Retg Tax Amt column (i.e. checked the 'Show in Grid' option in F3 Properties), it will show the amount of the retainage tax released.

Note: If you include retainage in tax calculations, but are not distributing tax to retainage, the Line Open Retg Tax amount will be 0.00 and no retainage tax will be included in the Line Open Retg amount.
