Retention Release 'processing' date overrides 'due date'

When processing retention release using the 'Retention Release' option (from the Subcontract Payment Authorisation Screen), all the invoice dates (entered/received/due) are overridden by the date of processing (i.e. 'today').


This means that retention release invoices are always paid late, because we can't see (nor extrapolate) the actual due date - even through BI reporting.


I maintain that this is a system bug, but Jobpac have categoried it as a feature suggestion. Hopefully this issue can be corrected in a future release.


A suggested work-around was to use the 'Progress claim that can also release retention' method (while only processing a retention amount and not a claim amount). But this seems contrary to the implied purpose of the 'Retention Release' function.
