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?

    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.

    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%.
