How it began
Ravi supplies independent shops while Tessa reconciles route collections. The fictional business teaches distribution bookkeeping without pretending that the sample provides route planning or proof of delivery.

Records and operations
Fictional background is storytelling. Only linked recorded events change the sample books. Amounts are illustrative base-currency units; no country tax rules are implied.
Follow a distribution route settlement
Review a distributor's stock, customer invoice, supplier bill, settlement and route-level bookkeeping evidence.
- Review the opening stock, customer receivable and supplier payable evidence.
- Trace stock receipt and a credit sale through inventory, cost and control accounts.
- Apply the named customer and supplier settlements and inspect residuals.
- Review the route and cash-transfer notes as bookkeeping references only.
What this example does and does not show
- The distribution scenario does not implement route planning, dispatch, delivery proof or fleet accounting.
- Inventory uses one location and the shared moving-average service.
- Customer and supplier settlement remains separate from operational delivery status.
A practice event remains unposted
2026-09-12 · distributor-event-06 is staged for review.
The proposed outflow is 400.0000 and the recorded available balance is 0.0000, a shortfall of 400.0000 base-currency units.
No agreed overdraft facility is recorded. The permitted bank overdraft is 0.0000.
The authored payment exceeds the operational bank balance. No agreed overdraft facility is recorded, so its limit is zero. The supplier bill remains unpaid; the payment has no effect on the bank or the payable. No funding or credit facility has been invented.
Inspect the source evidence before choosing a correction. No funding or credit facility has been invented to make this practice event pass.
