This is just a great example of how QBO is more interest in selling apps and services than they are addressing improvement in the functionality of the program.  If they can't quickly monetize it, then it goes to the bottom of the list.  This is a major issue that they still have not fixed.  Everyone takes deposits, we all know how they need to stay as a liability until delivered and then properly applied.  Why can't they address this simplistic issue!?  HEY INTUIT!  Stop trying to sell me on 3% early payment features and fix a problem that all of us have to pay people on a wasted "work around" for every time.  Then maybe we can take the benefit and savings from our increased productivity and buy some more of your services!  If you don't make us waste money, we have more money to spend!  Simple accounting.    I give you guys 90 days to fix this and if not I am jumping over to Xero Accounting System.  For the money we pay you, you should be much more attentive to what we need, instead of what you think you can sell us more of!
