AP Retainage Releases

This object lets you release amounts retained on AP bills until completion of a construction project.

After the details have been satisfactorily addressed by both the project owner and the construction company, you create a retainage release for the amount still owed to the vendor/subcontractor. You can release some or all of the owed retainages if there are still outstanding issues.

You must configure retainage in your company as described in the Sage Intacct product help.
