Manage Retainage Release Timing in Vista Export
Currently, when we export a retainage invoice from Trimble Pay to Vista, it creates both a $0 AP invoice and a release retainage batch. However, since we’re not always ready to release the retainage for payment, we have to manually delete the release retainage batch in Vista.
We would like the ability to export the $0 retainage invoice to Vista without automatically generating the release retainage batch. Alternatively, if the batch must be created, we would prefer greater control over when that happens—for example, only after the retainage invoice has been marked as "ready to pay" by the payment approver, rather than at the time of invoice approval or export to Vista.
Agreeing/confirming the statement in the original post! Treating the release of the hold code on a retainage invoice should work similar to a 'regular' invoice. Please have TP create the Vista AP Release Retainage batch only after the retainage invoice has been marked in Trimble Pay as "Ready to Pay". If the AP Release Retainage batch is posted when the retainage invoice is exported from TP to Vista, there is risk that the retainage could be paid when it should not be because the RT hold code is removed.
We have had the situation where the retainage is paid in Vista, but the Retainage Invoice in Trimble Pay was not marked as "Ready to Pay". And in some of those cases, we have seen a pattern where the lien waiver is not getting released in that situation.
I hope there will be more votes on this to make a change on this!
