This is a planning reference for wedding arch rental. 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 ARCH-150 rents one manufacturer-made indoor decorative wedding arch for a four-hour ceremony, with competent delivery/setup/removal and no guest climbing or overhead accessories. The actual model, dimensions, approved drape load and installation instructions are recorded before quoting. No invented ballast recipe, outdoor wind rating or structural certification is supplied.

An invented invoice-and-collection record
TRAINING-0650: a fictional order for the scoped offer in section 01, using 1 priced units at KSh 6,500.00 each. Buyer group: Wedding planners and couples using an approved venue. 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 5,125.00; their difference from this assumed invoice is KSh 1,375.00 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 3,175.00 is needed after applying the advance. The advance is counted once, not again at final collection.
