Effect of Retainage on Check Runs

In Check Runs, an Include Retainage check box is available to be used for search criteria. If you check the box, then when doing a search for invoices to pay, the retainage amount is brought into the check run so that the proper amount can be paid.

Once you select Include Retainage for the Check Run for the invoices selected, then the system brings over to the Check Run tab the Amount to Pay and the Retainage Amount to Pay for those items selected based on how search was done. You can then edit those amounts.
An error message appears if you enter an amount that is greater than is left to pay.
On the Check Format, you can select to show Non-Retainage Paid, Retainage Paid and Retainage Amount.
When checks are printed, the Check stubs show the amounts you choose for the format, i.e., can include Non-Retainage Paid, Retainage Paid, and Retainage Amount.
Note that Amount Paid = Non-Retainage Paid + Retainage Paid.
