  2. On the toolbar of the Accounts form, click New > New Account.
  3. Enter a retainage account, which should be an accounts receivable account such as 116.00 - Retainage Receivable.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 for each retainage account that corresponds to each of your accounts receivable accounts.
