Invoicing for Subcontractors Showing Retention and Labour / Material Split

We are a subcontractor that has labour and materials. we also have to hold a retention on the works we do, there is no option for all this when raising an invoice. example below of what we should have


Labour 10,000

Materials 2,000

Total 12,000

Retention 3% 360

Leaves 11,640

VAT payable by the main contractor

CIS 20% on Labour element only 1,940

Due for payment 9,700


There is no possible way to show this with sage - This is very common with sub contractors for large projects.
