### Understanding The Sale Cycle 

> On Keepup Store, a sale can be categorized under various statuses, each representing a distinct stage in the sales process: **Quote**, **Invoice**, **Receipt**, **Refunded**, and **Canceled**. Here’s how each status functions within the cycle of a sale:

> #### Quote 
>
> A sale can initially be recorded as a **Quote**. This status is used when no payment has yet been made and serves as an estimate or proposal for the customer. Importantly, a quote does not affect the total balance due from the customer as it is simply a preliminary assessment.

> #### **Invoice**
>
> If the sale is either partially paid or intended to be paid, it is classified as an **Invoice**. This status is crucial because it adds the amount due to the total balance that needs to be received from customers, representing a formal request for payment. Any partial payments received automatically convert a quote to an invoice.

> #### **Receipt**
>
> Once full payment is received for an invoice, its status is updated to **Receipt**. This status confirms that the transaction has been fully settled and there are no outstanding amounts.

> #### **Refunded**
>
> If a sale that has reached the receipt stage needs to be reversed, perhaps due to a return or customer dissatisfaction, it can be moved to **Refunded**. This status indicates that the amount previously recorded as received has been returned to the customer.

> #### **Canceled** 
>
> At any point, if the transaction does not proceed (e.g., if a customer decides not to go forward with a quote or an invoice), the sale can be classified as **Canceled**. This status is used to denote that the sale has been nullified and there is no expectation of payment or delivery of goods/services.
