Automatic posting issued documents with retainage
PANTHEON
A certain part of receivables from customers can be posted to a separate account – the retained funds account.
The responsible person enters the retainage percentage or amount (depends how the agreement with customer is made). This can be done in several places:
1. in Subjects register, different value for each customer
2. in Document Type register, different for each document type
3. in Document itself, manually, different for each document number.
In this case, for subject Datalab Ltd. for period 01.06.2025.- 31.08.2025. enters percentage of 5, and for period 01.09.2025.-31.12.2025. enter the value of 100,00 EUR. This means that if issued document is created in first period, program will calculate percent and in the second period, program will take into consideration amount of retainage.
