Leave both (A) and (B) amounts as zero if you do not want to ask for replenishment.
Click Next.
When there is only one retainer account for the matter, it should be the standard account, so RTG Bills won't ask us to choose an account each time we enter a retainer.

If you do not want the retainer to be applied automatically, click Check None to remove all of the check marks.
