Example Setup

In this example, three retainage rules are set at change order levels 000 and 001 and at the billing line level. The calculation is based on 100 percent completion of the contract. The control flag is set to blank to create retainage in A/R with no deferred taxes.

Draw and rated draw billing lines are excluded from the calculations.

These retainage rules are set up in the Retainage Rules Table program (P5204):
