Retainage Control G/L Account
If you require retainage to be posted to its own GL account, then you can create a Retainage Control G/L Account as in the following example:
Customer Posting Groups
In the Customer Posting Groups specify "Retainage Control Account".
Payment Terms
Create Payment Terms record (or records) for retainage release.
Sales & Receivables Setup
Specify "Retainage Release Postfix" in the section "Background Posting" in "Sales & Receivables Setup".
Check the flag "Allow Manual Retainage Lines" if you want to add retainage or retainage release lines to sales documents manually.
