How to handle customer deposit for work to be invoiced as completed

CynthiaHolt

I am not seeing how to post a customer deposit payment. Ideally, the cash would be posted to a deposit liablity GL account, but show up as unapplied cash or credit on account for the customer to be applied to periodic invoices as work is completed.

I only see a way to post a payment directly to an invoice.

I could account for the deposit via JE but that would not address making the funds available to apply to future invoices.
