How to adjust subcontract retention

You can define a retention scheme when creating a subcontract. If the wrong scheme was added, you can remove it and add the correct scheme.

Retention can only be changed if no invoices or valuations have been linked to the subcontract. If any cost has already been processed, the retention field will be locked.

1. Remove the existing retention

  1. Go to Project and open the relevant project.
  2. Click Subcontracts in the project menu row.
  3. Open the subcontract you want to edit.
  4. Go to the Summary tab.
  5. Scroll down to the Retention section.
  6. Click Remove retention.

Once removed, you can add a new scheme.
