Other updates to Sage Intacct Construction
This release includes the following updates to improve your Sage Intacct Construction experience.
Gain more flexibility in posting retainage
You can now post retainage amounts to multiple General Ledger (GL) retainage offset accounts for purchasing transactions. To support more flexible retainage posting, we've added two new settings to purchasing transaction definitions:
Lets you map retainage account and offset account combinations (debit and credit). Available when you select Enable retainage.
Enables the Is retainage? column in the Transaction posting AP or GL account mapping section of the Posting configuration tab where you can configure account mappings.
Lets you map additional retainage account and offset account combinations (debit and credit). Available when you select Enable retainage and Enable additional posting.
Enables the Is retainage? column in the Additional GL posting account mapping section of the Posting configuration tab where you can configure additional account mappings.
To use this feature, define at least one GL retainage and GL retainage offset account combination (debit and credit) on each applicable transaction definition. If no retainage offset accounts are defined, Sage Intacct defaults to the retainage offset account configured in Accounts Payable.

Analyze advanced retainage calculations more effectively
We've enhanced the Advanced retainage calculation log to help you review and share retainage calculations more efficiently. You can now:
Customize column order to suit your preferences, and save custom layouts for future use.
Export calculation log information to a CSV for enhanced analysis, reporting, and sharing.
In addition, the log now sorts calculations by Primary document ID and Calculation sequence automatically, making related calculations easier to review and analyze.

Prevent duplicate source line conversions
If you've configured Purchasing to convert multiple documents into a single transaction, you can now hide source document lines that have already been selected for conversion.
In Purchasing configuration, we've added a new setting called Do not allow source lines to be converted more than once per document. When enabled, the Source document line ID field on a transaction displays only lines that have not yet been selected, reducing risks for converting the same line multiple times.
