The new way to release subcontractor retainage it nice, and easy to do. HOWEVER, paying that released retainage is not because there is no good way to pull in just released subcontractor retainage. The released retainage does not pull into the AP Payment work file with the subcontractor payable balances. The released subcontractor retainage does not go to type subcontractor payable and the only way to pull it into the payment work file is by vendor. This become even more problematic when a vendor can have a purchase order and a subcontract. It is also time consuming because you need to add them one at a time, and when you are paying upwards of 30 subcontractors or more on a project, and paying multiple projects, a process that used to take just a couple minutes now takes 10x as long or longer.

I agree, if I want to pull the retainage in by project I cannot mark it just to pull the subcontractors, it pulls in the job materials also. Not sure why it had to change I find it very time consuming also.
I wish I could vote for this a thousand times. I don't understand why the Pay Type was removed from the AP Payment Workfile in the first place.
