Merged idea

This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit PCA-I-426 Allow application of cash receipts to unbilled contract retainage..

Remove version 3.6 requirement to bill retention before applying cash receipts Merged

The ability to bill retention should obviously remain available, but the requirement to process it as its own billing before a cash receipts can be applied to it just causes extra steps.  The only reason Tech Support could give me for the improvement was so the Customer Transaction Report for the project will show all the billings and receipts in order.

    This enhancement was awful.  There are so many good suggestions on here, and Viewpoint decided to go with this one.

    Couldn't agree more.  This program has already increased my work load because of the horrible entry process - but to add the unnecessary requirement of billing retention is RIDICULOUS!!!  REMOVE THIS PLEASE!

    This is a must!!! Our customers often pay retention early and adjusting invoices messes everything up!! It allows for ALOT odf errors to be made.

    Agree - we receive a lot of payments with the customer releasing portions of the retention or we held 10% and they processed our payment at 5% - it makes it very cumbersome to go back and enter another invoice or adjust the invoice so we can receive payment.  We should be able to receive partial payments against the retention.  Please bring this feature back!

    This process is REDUNDANT and adds EXTRA WORK!  It should be an OPTION to bill the RETENTION if a Customer wants to, but DONT block the ability to process payments received!!!
