AP Retainage Invoices

Can we connect a retainage AP invoice to the original invoice that the retainage was being held from to clear out the balance?

For example: Invoice # 1234 is for $1000 with a $200 retainage. We write a check to the vendor for $800. The vendor sends us a bill later, invoice # 5678, for that $200. How do we show that invoice # 1234 is paid in full?

    We don't enter the retainage invoices from the subcontractors. The retainage is sitting in AP ready to pay so there is no need for an invoice to be entered (as we see it).

    If you want to enter the invoice, one way is to enter it as a zero invoice with two distributions, one positive and one negative for $200 with the coding the same for both distributions. You can then select the retainage and this zero invoice when you pay the retainage to the subcontractor. That way, the invoice number is in their AP history showing as paid.
