T116 Delivery acceptance and final invoice
Delivery acceptance and final invoice
The acceptance record for the Verrano sales kickoff, delivered on September 10, 2026 for 140 attendees: what Verrano Instruments has accepted, what is still open, the badge defect with its agreed credit, and the steps that release the final invoice. Prepared by the Sablewood account director for Nathaniel Obuya, Head of marketing events at Verrano Instruments, and for Verrano accounts payable.
Sample template: the firm, people, clients and figures are fictional.
Twelve deliverables, nine accepted
Each square is one deliverable of the sales kickoff. Nine are accepted and three are not yet accepted: the edited highlight video, the photo library and the attendee badges, which carry the defect.

Deliverable by deliverable
The agreed acceptance window is 10 business days from the event. For the kickoff on Sep 10 that window ended on Sep 24. Nine deliverables were accepted inside it. Three were not, so the new date of Oct 9 below is an agreed exception, not the standard window.
| # | Deliverable | Status | Accepted | Open reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Venue setup and floor plan | Sep 11 | None | |
| 2 | Main session staging and lighting | Sep 14 | None | |
| 3 | Audio and video for the main session | Sep 14 | None | |
| 4 | Breakout room setup | Sep 14 | None | |
| 5 | Registration desk and check in | Sep 15 | None | |
| 6 | Attendee badges | Not yet | 60 misprinted badges; credit agreed, acceptance not recorded | |
| 7 | Catering and hospitality, Day 1 | Sep 15 | None | |
| 8 | Evening reception | Sep 16 | None | |
| 9 | Speaker coordination and travel | Sep 17 | None | |

| 12 | Photo library | Not yet | Not delivered |
The badge defect and its credit
60 misprinted badges, settled with a $450 credit
The 60 misprinted badges are the only defect on the kickoff. The credit of $450 is approved but acceptance of the badge deliverable is not yet recorded, so the badges still count as not accepted. Owner. Kofi Adjei. Date. Credit shown on the final invoice when it is released.
Two items are holding acceptance: the highlight video and the photo library
The edited highlight video and the photo library are not delivered. The video editor is also working on the Verrano Summit, and Verrano did not know the video was the item holding acceptance. Nathaniel Obuya has agreed to accept the kickoff once both are delivered. Owner. Simone Vrabec, Executive producer. Date. Deliver both by Oct 7 and record acceptance by Oct 9.
Acceptance record
By signing off, the Verrano events lead confirms that each deliverable listed above is accepted or carries the open reason shown. The signature rows are filled in at acceptance.
Releasing the final invoice
The final invoice of $86,400 has waited 18 days, counted from the Sep 10 event to Sep 28. It is released when the open deliverables are accepted, under the terms of the contract.
What the record shows
Live example from the Dashboards app, shown with Verrano Instruments' demo data.
The credit is approved. Acceptance should not stall because of a video Verrano did not know was holding it.
How to use this template
Record acceptance for each deliverable after an event, name the open reason for any that are not accepted, and release the final invoice only when acceptance is recorded under the contract.
| Variable | Meaning | Required |
|---|---|---|
{{event.name}} | Event whose deliverables are being accepted | Required |
{{deliverable.rows}} | Each deliverable with status, acceptance date and open reason | Required |
{{defect.list}} | Open defects with count, credit and owner | Required |
{{invoice.amount}} | Final invoice amount | Required |
{{invoice.days_waiting}} | Days from the event to the status date | Required |

If a required value is missing, show Needs review in its place and hold the invoice; never guess an amount, a credit or an acceptance date. If the record cannot be read, show Unavailable instead of the counts.
