Tern Client Services: Invoice register with retainer draws

Invoice register with retainer draws for Tern Client Services. 3 invoices totalling 7200.00, which is the whole of the August timesheet. 4000.00 of it was settled by drawing the retainer to nil and 3200.00 is outstanding on SVCINV-3. amount equals retainer_applied plus cash_due on every row, and every invoice is dated 2026-09-30, 22 days after the 2026-09-08 snapshot, so all three sit in the not yet due bucket.

Testing contract

Expected to pass
Scenario
Import the register and reconcile it against the timesheet and the retainer ledger.
Expected result
amount sums to 7200.00, equal to the billable_amount column of timesheet-export.csv. retainer_applied sums to 4000.00, equal to the two draws on retainer-ledger.csv, and outstanding sums to 3200.00, which is the SVCINV-3 amount.

What is a .csv file?

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain-text tabular format where rows are lines and fields are separated by commas, with quoting rules for values that contain delimiters, quotes, or newlines. It has no formal type system and depends on encoding and dialect conventions. It is the most portable format for tabular data exchange.

How to use this file

Use an example CSV to test parsers against quoting and embedded-delimiter edge cases, header handling, encoding detection, and import pipelines into databases or spreadsheets.

How to use this file for testing

“Tern Client Services: Invoice register with retainer draws” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Data import. Realistic faker-generated datasets with documented schemas for testing import and ETL flows.

Documented properties for this file: 3 rows · UTF-8. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Data fixtures document their exact quirks (delimiters, encodings, null handling, schema, and row counts) in the spec table. Point your parser or importer at the file and assert it handles the documented edge cases; clean and deliberately-messy siblings make before/after diffs straightforward.
