Hello,

Please how do i handle retention on a supplier invoice. This is the expected invoice journal entry with a 5% retention agreement for example.

Invoice
Dr item 5000
Dr VAT (18%) 900
Cr Vendor 5605
Cr Retention (5%) 295

How do i get this result on BC?

Business Central doesn't really have anything out of the box for invoice retentions without customizing the system or getting an add-on that does it.

You could try to use invoice prepayments, on an order you would create a prepayment invoice for 5%. This would essentially be your retention agreement/invoice. Then you would post the final invoice for the remaining 95%. This way from 2 orders you would have 2 invoices, 1 for 5% and 1 for 95%.

As Valentin mentioned, this functionality is not available in BC, I remember it is in AX.

Hopefully the discussion below can give you some tips.
