Retention Control Overview

As a Head Contractor, you can lock the retention on subcontracts. When it is not locked, Subcontractors can change the percentage of billable retention.

Why Unlock Current Period Retention?

Unlock current period retention to allow Subcontractors to adjust the amount of retention held for the current period billing.

The system displays the contract settings on the Contract Maintenance page.

See Managing Subcontracts.

(Optional) Change Default Retention

Change this number to reduce the retention for this period and the remaining billing periods.

Unlock Retention

The Subcontractor cannot modify retention setting locks retention. It prevents Subcontractors from modifying the retention when entering a progress claim.

Deselect this setting. Once deselected, Subcontractors can change retention amount held on their Enter Progress Claim page.
