When to use it
Track checks on changed work, payment requests and future order revisions from the time the invoice arrives.
Example amounts are fictional pre-tax values. Verify tax documents, contractual payment terms and authority separately; this sheet does not approve payment automatically.
Start with the guide: Event Settlement and Operational DebriefFill in the template step by step
When to use it
Use after invoices arrive and before requesting payment, then again in the event debrief.
What to have ready
- Original order
- Approved changes and revised quotes
- Work and delivery acceptance records
- Original and corrected invoices
Group invoices and delivery evidence under each order-line ID.
For costs outside the original order, check both approval and whether the work was done.
Keep disputed or unconfirmed costs out of agreed amounts. Obtain corrected records to resolve differences.
Decide what to change in the next order or checking process and when to apply it.
What the workbook can calculate
- Compare contract plus approved changes with invoices and payments
- Flag excess invoices, unpaid balances and missing evidence
Enter your actual values in the Calculation sheet. The Calc example sheet uses a fictional scenario separate from the worked example in the records sheet. Formulas cover the 20 prepared rows, so extend their references if you add rows. Empty cells are treated as missing inputs. A calculation does not authorise an order, confirm safety or approve a payment; those decisions still need the responsible person’s approval.
