Redwood: Create and Edit Purchase Orders with Retainage Terms

Create and edit purchase orders with retainage terms by specifying retainage rates and maximum retainage amounts using a Redwood page. If needed, you can set up different retainage rates by schedule for the same purchase order line. Invoices matched to such purchase orders will automatically withhold an amount as per the specified rate. The maximum retainage amount sets the limit up to which you can withhold retainage from matched invoices.

Tips And Considerations

  • Use the Manage Document Styles task under the Procurement Offering to enable retainage for existing or newly created user-defined document styles.
  • You can't enable retainage terms for seeded document styles: Standard Style, Consignment Purchases Style, Configure to Order Style, and Outside Processing Style.
  • The Retainage fields are hidden by default on the Purchase Order and Change Order lines. You can use the column management to configure the columns that are hidden.
  • Retainage terms are read-only for supplier and requester users.
  • When duplicating the purchase order, the retainage rate and the maximum retainage amount from the original (parent) schedule and line are automatically copied to the corresponding schedule and line in the duplicated order.
  • Extensibility capabilities are now supported for retainage fields on both the Purchase Order and Change Order pages.
