I've been doing journal entries this entire time for Retainers and not using the Deposit field, but when I'm doing 150-200 invoices at a time, doing that many journal entries just plain sucks.  Sorry, there is no other word for it.  For what we pay for this system every year, there should be viable process for recording, processing, and reporting retainers that works and doesn't take hours of our time to maintain.  Is it really that much to ask for?
