AP Bill Reclassification Moves Retainage to Non-Project in AP Retainage Register Report

Hi There,

I’ve encountered an issue with retainage behavior during AP bill reclassification in Acumatica ERP and would like to confirm whether this is expected or a configuration issue.

Scenario:

  • An AP bill is created with a project, task, and retainage applied.
  • The bill is released, and retainage is tracked correctly under the project.
  • Later, I perform a reclassification on one of the bill lines to another project (using the reclass functionality). The original line was code to wrong project about (10% of total cost) The 90%cost  is under project A, and AP retainage is under project A

Issue:

  • The expense is reclassified correctly to the new project.
  • In the AP Retainage Register, the original retainage disappear from Project A,  but appears under a non-project code (empty project / X).

Expected Behavior:
I would not expect the AP Retainage register change the project code but remains under same project code

Questions:

  1. Is this the intended behavior in Acumatica?
  2. Are there specific configurations (e.g., account groups, retainage accounts) required to ensure retainage stays tied to the project during reclassification?
  3. How can I fix this now? Move the retainage appears under Project A in  AP Retainage Registe.

This behavior appears to be expected. AP reclassification moves only the expense lines, not the retainage. If the retainage account is not linked to an Account Group, it loses the project reference and defaults to Non-Project (X).

 

To fix this, ensure the retainage account is mapped to a proper Account Group. Existing records may require a manual adjustment (JE) to move retainage back to the correct project.
