Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to salon booking system setup.
This is a planning reference for salon booking system setup. 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 salon-booking setup SAL-85 configures two stylists and three services in an owner-controlled scheduling system. Example services are consultation 30 minutes, trim 45 minutes and braiding assessment 30 minutes; actual durations are confirmed by salon staff. Each stylist has independent working hours and a 15-minute example buffer, subject to owner approval. Output is service/staff map, booking page, cancellation wording and five test scenarios. Hair/scalp advice, deposits, payment integrations and guaranteed no-shows reduction are excluded.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0585: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 1 priced units at KSh 5,800.00 each. Buyer group: Salons moving from informal messages to a shared calendar. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 1 x KSh 5,800.00 = KSh 5,800.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 4,050.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 1,750.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 1,740.00. The invoice balance is KSh 4,060.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 2,310.00 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.
