My client would like to be able to create a quote or invoice for an entire project and then bill % or flat amounts against it. They would also like to be able to see the estimate for the whole project, how much has been billed, paid and how much remains to be billed. I used to do this easily in QuickBooks but I can't figure out how to get this functionality in Xero. I have tested out Xero projects but it doesn't seem to be possible there either unless I'm doing something wrong.

Additional purpose: allow for deposit/partial payments from customers and support them also being clear about the status and progress
