Creating final holdback invoices
The preferred method to request final payment for holdback is to print a progress bill report.
Important! Because the holdback has been included in the previous progress billing applications, you must credit the holdback amount before you can create a separate holdback invoice. Follow the six parts of this procedure to release the holdback, create a holdback credit, apply the credit, and create your holdback invoice.

Create a holdback credit invoice and use the amount of holdback due as the Price of the credit.
