Enable retainage on supplier transaction definitions

You can enable retainage on Accounts Payable transaction definitions so that Purchasing orders and AR sales invoices include retainage fields in the relevant order and AR sales invoice pages. Purchasing agents and AP clerks can then enter the relevant retainage percentage for the relevant documents.
