Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to farm produce preorder store.
This is a planning reference for farm produce preorder store. 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 preorder cycle: twenty household vegetable boxes, each containing 2 kg potatoes, 1 kg carrots and one cabbage. Required saleable intake is 40 kg potatoes, 20 kg carrots and twenty cabbages; any reserve purchase is tracked separately. Sell by the declared units, not an invented box weight.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0926: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 20 priced units at KSh 650.00 each. Buyer group: households and kitchens. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 20 x KSh 650.00 = KSh 13,000.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 9,800.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 3,200.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 3,900.00. The invoice balance is KSh 9,100.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 5,900.00 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.
