Collaborate with Viewpoint and your peers by providing us with your input
We need to be able to enter a retainage amount is customer invoices. In the input screen, 'Cost' would be blank and then we would enter the Holdback/Retainage amount under it's own column. I believe this would probably have to be a negative entry.

Agreed - When I need to bill a customer for retainage previously held, whether I have additional revenue to post or not, I make a dummy line on my invoice, save it as a PDF, and then undo the retainage-request line before posting the "new-revenue" portion of the invoice. Suggest Pro-contractor loosen the hand-cuffs, allow negative retainage billings, and remove controls over how much and what sign the retainage field can be in relation to the revenue field. If possible, make these safety flags a warning rather than a hard-stop.
