This is a planning reference for car interior detailing. 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 sample order: One saloon interior detail: accessible hard trim, glass, mats and ordinary dry soil, with separate approval for any compatible textile treatment. Owner removes valuables or records custody. Exclude seat removal, airbag/seatbelt work, biohazards, pest treatment and hidden electrical diagnosis.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0463: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 1 priced units at KSh 4,200.00 each. Buyer group: Owners preparing cars for personal use or resale. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 1 x KSh 4,200.00 = KSh 4,200.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 3,020.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 1,180.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 1,260.00. The invoice balance is KSh 2,940.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 1,760.00 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.
