School photo service in Kenya: Planning Worksheets and Source Register
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to school photo service.
This is a planning reference for school photo 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 SCHOOL-165 photographs 30 pupils with school/guardian-approved authority, delivering one selected portrait per authorised pupil through private school-managed distribution. A reference register P01–P30 maps files to school-held identity data; photographer need not retain names. No public gallery, face recognition, advertising reuse or photographing non-consenting children.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0665: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 30 priced units at KSh 350.00 each. Buyer group: Schools commissioning portraits, class photographs or event coverage. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 30 x KSh 350.00 = KSh 10,500.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 7,850.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 2,650.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 3,150.00. The invoice balance is KSh 7,350.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 4,700.00 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.
