 Establishing customer contracts and determining payments and installments and dates of entitlement and other conditions of the contract For example, was contracted with Dr. Esawi on the apartment # 1 first round amount and the capacity of 440 thousand pounds were determined payments and installments as shown in Figure

Once the contract has been established with the customer, there must be two accounts in the directory. Account on behalf of the customer under the customer account and another account in the name of the customer under the customer account. Payments submitted to date.

 There are no financial transactions. All administrative activities.

The fifth step

• Proof of closing the account of the payments made to the customer in the customer's account in the amount of the payments paid by the reservation payment of 140 thousand pounds
• Reduction of the account of real estate investments with a cost of housing unit of 340 thousand pounds cost of sales city and real estate investment creditor
• The cost of sales is shown in the income statement and the remaining balance of the investment property account is shown in the balance sheet and with the last sold unit, the investment property account should be written off

Collection of remaining payments and installments Once the sale has been established from the moment the final sale is established, the customer is dealt with directly and any premium collected is the customer and not the prepayment account.

Step 10 

Client Account Statement We note that the customer owes the value of the unit and a creditor with the value of the prepayments and a creditor in the amount of the premiums collected after the sale has been proven
