Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to herbal infusion gift packs.
This is a planning reference for herbal infusion gift packs. 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 gifting order: 10 gift boxes, each containing three original sealed KETEPA Herbal Sleep Easy 25-bag retail packs. These are curated manufacturer packs, not loose botanical blending or anonymous sachets. The maker’s product name remains unchanged, but no sleep, treatment or medical benefit is promised. Exactly 30 retail packs are required; original ingredient information remains visible.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0189: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 10 priced units at KSh 1,450.00 each. Buyer group: Gift buyers and existing herbal-tea consumers. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 10 x KSh 1,450.00 = KSh 14,500.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 11,820.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 2,680.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 4,350.00. The invoice balance is KSh 10,150.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 7,470.00 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.
