Hi Kimberlina,
I've got some help about this.
When you create a deposit, you can choose the Accounts Receivable account in the ACCOUNT field and enter the name of the customer in the NAME field. In this way, the transaction will show up in your customer's Transaction List as deposit.
If this is something that you need to enter as a retainer, just follow the steps in this article: How to record a retainer or deposit.
We're just around if you have more questions.
