Overview
Project retainage is billed through a separate process through the Bill Retainage screen. The process of billing retainage is very similar to creating an AIA bill. 
...
Like AIA billings all retainage billings that are in progress are displayed when you enter the screen. If you are creating a new retainage billing click the "New AIA" button. Otherwise double click on the retainage billing that you wish to continue working on.
...
Entering the project number will populate the application period based on the current GL period and the invoice date is filled in with the current date. The application number will be automatically determined based on the amount of AIA's that have been previously entered against the project. If you wish to lump all material, freight, install, and tax totals into one line then check the "Rollup invoice line detail" checkbox or if you need to see the breakdown leave it unchecked. The "CMA Edition" checkbox should be checked if you wish to print the CMA (Construction Managers Assignment) edition of the AIA.
