Example Setup

In this example, one retainage rule is set at the contract level. The calculation is based on 30 percent completion of the contract. The control flag is set to blank to create retainage in A/R and no deferred taxes. The T and M line has no schedule of values.

This retainage rule is set up in the Retainage Rules Table program (P5204):

Retainage Rule	Description
