An invented invoice-and-collection record

TRAINING-0935: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 10 priced units at KSh 750.00 each. Buyer group: adult hobby beginners. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.

Teaching invoice = 10 x KSh 750.00 = KSh 7,500.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 4,900.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 2,600.00 before excluded costs and tax.

For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 2,250.00. The invoice balance is KSh 5,250.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 2,650.00 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.
