Keep records that answer a specific question
Use a buyer brief, quotation comparison, acceptance record and cash ledger matched to seedling transplant service.
This is a planning reference for seedling transplant 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 transplant labour job for four hundred customer-owned kale seedlings on prepared ground, using a local agronomist-approved layout. Reconcile 420 seedlings received into 400 planted, twelve rejected and eight returned spares. Spacing, depth, irrigation and crop protection come from the competent crop plan; no establishment percentage or harvest promise is sold.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0091: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 1 priced units at KSh 6,500.00 each. Buyer group: Growers with viable planting stock and prepared beds. No buyer was contacted and no order was completed.
Teaching invoice = 1 x KSh 6,500.00 = KSh 6,500.00. The selected input lines in section 06 total KSh 5,820.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 680.00 before excluded costs and tax.
For cash-timing practice only, suppose a buyer pays a 30% advance of KSh 1,950.00. The invoice balance is KSh 4,550.00. If the selected input bill is paid before the balance arrives, additional cash of KSh 3,870.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
