Hints & Tips
The GROSS PAYMENT is the total payment including the retention deduction. This lists the total number of payments associated with retention, but not the total number of payments assigned to the customer or supplier. Unallocated payments, or payments relating to transactions that do not incur retentions may not necessarily be included in this total.
The message "*** Attention: retention deductions has not been fully allocated" may appear on the report if the retention adjustment has not been completely assigned to outstanding invoices or other transactions. While it does, on occasion, make sense to have unallocated payments in the system, it generally doesn't make sense to have unallocated retention deductions. (In other words, why try to deduct retention when you have not completely indicated which transactions the retention is to be deducted from?). This warning message reports that there may be information missing from the system, that may be needed in order to complete the report.
