Using the Advanced Subcontractor Feature
To use the Advanced Subcontractor feature, you must add the subcontractors or vendors to the job and assign the subcontractor to a cost code. When the vendor's invoice arrives for payment, you create a payables transaction entry and distribute the invoice to the job and cost code. If you selected the Pay When Paid setup option, the voucher is put on payment hold. You can release the hold on the payables transaction after you have been paid. Once the subcontractor's job is complete, you generate retention invoices.
Editing Accounts Payable subcontractor retention is not supported. The Advanced Subcontractor Module is not updated when an Accounts Payable subcontractor transaction is edited.
