Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to cushion cover stitching.
This is a planning reference for cushion cover stitching. 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 order: six zipped cushion covers for actual 45 × 45 cm inserts. Draft cut twelve 47 × 47 cm squares with 1 cm perimeter allowance; 45 × 45 cm seam-line target. Six 40 cm zips go on the agreed bottom edge. Prototype fit controls final pattern; inserts excluded.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0269: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 6 priced units at KSh 1,300.00 each. Buyer group: Households, decorators and furniture shops. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 6 x KSh 1,300.00 = KSh 7,800.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 4,355.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 3,445.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 2,340.00. The invoice balance is KSh 5,460.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 2,015.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
