Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to mahamri stall.
This is a planning reference for mahamri stall. 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 mahamri tea-shop order: eighty accepted coconut/cardamom pieces for one service. Budget four kg plain wheat flour, two litres labelled coconut milk, .8 kg sugar, .06 kg yeast and .05 kg cardamom as provisional purchasing quantities; actual cook-approved formulation governs use. No egg/dairy addition assumed; supplier coconut-milk subingredients/allergens still need review. Output is a trial target, not yeast or flour yield promise.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0122: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 80 priced units at KSh 35.00 each. Buyer group: Breakfast customers and tea vendors. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 80 x KSh 35.00 = KSh 2,800.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 4,148.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh -1,348.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 840.00. The invoice balance is KSh 1,960.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 3,308.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
