Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to scone baking.
This is a planning reference for scone baking. 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 tea-shop order:36 plain scones in six packs of six, produced with the Bakels East Africa SB Scone Mix reference. The source uses1kg mix and 0.45 kg water and notes milk wash; the budget separately allows measured wash usage. Thirty-six is a trial output target, not a manufacturer-stated yield. Jam, butter accompaniment and delivery are excluded. Confirm current mix supply and actual accepted size/yield before booking.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0173: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 36 priced units at KSh 65.00 each. Buyer group: Tea shops and accommodation kitchens. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 36 x KSh 65.00 = KSh 2,340.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 883.90; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 1,456.10 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 702.00. The invoice balance is KSh 1,638.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 181.90 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.
