Keep records that answer a specific question

This is a planning reference for reusable menstrual pad sewing. 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 reusable menstrual-pad sewing development: twelve adult-use prototypes in three candidate material assemblies, four each. A qualified textile/product-safety specialist determines pattern, layer materials, skin contact, absorbency, cleaning and labelling requirements. Prototypes are not sale stock or clinical treatment.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0988: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 12 priced units at KSh 0.00 each. Buyer group: users and responsible distributors. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 12 x KSh 0.00 = KSh 0.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 14,480.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh -14,480.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 0.00. The invoice balance is KSh 0.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 14,480.00 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.
