When creating invoices, is there anyway to get initial monetary deposit (the “deposit to secure services” which is how I usually do jobs) to show up on the itemized list of activities/fees on the invoice? The outstanding balance at the bottom reflects the payment, but I’d like it to actually have a line of its own, too, so it’s clear to clients that I did get the deposit and credited them for it.

At this point my solution is to include a note in the customer message field, but that’s a bit awkward, and could possibly be overlooked too.

Thanks.
