An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0305: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 3 priced units at KSh 3,000.00 each. Buyer group: Clients maintaining established loc styles. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 3 x KSh 3,000.00 = KSh 9,000.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 3,750.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 5,250.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 2,700.00. The invoice balance is KSh 6,300.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 1,050.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
