Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to mobile manicure service.
This is a planning reference for mobile manicure service. 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 mobile manicure route: three natural-nail cosmetic appointments at separate homes. Each booking includes travel, a portable clean station and a full reset; unsuitable venue conditions require rescheduling.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0311: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 3 priced units at KSh 2,400.00 each. Buyer group: Home clients and small group bookings. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 3 x KSh 2,400.00 = KSh 7,200.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 4,705.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 2,495.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 2,160.00. The invoice balance is KSh 5,040.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 2,545.00 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.
