Work out a price, a repeat or a repair from what the piece actually took in metal, stones and hours, instead of from memory.
Jewellers and silversmiths making one-off or small-run pieces, students keeping a bench record, and makers who sell and need to know what a piece cost them.
2 pages, in this order:

Record identifying detail and paperwork for each piece before it is needed, which is invariably after something has gone.
