Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to bhajia stall.
This is a planning reference for bhajia stall. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional bhajia service: sixty 150 g-net portions of cooked potato bhajia, nine kg total accepted product. Potato slices, gram-flour coating and declared coriander/spices form the buyer-approved sample; actual slice/coating/cooking method is set by a competent cook/food plan. Net cooked mass includes coating/oil, so nine kg cannot be claimed as raw potato yield. No sauce included in base order.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0124: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 60 priced units at KSh 100.00 each. Buyer group: Walk-in snack buyers at an approved trading spot. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 60 x KSh 100.00 = KSh 6,000.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 5,645.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 355.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 1,800.00. The invoice balance is KSh 4,200.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 3,845.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
These sample entries are not your actual job records. Keep names, contacts and payment references in private copies. The paid pack contains offline editable costing, operations and cash-planning tools; this public sheet explains how the records connect.
