Twelve deliverables, nine accepted
Status as of Sep 28, 2026 9 of 12 accepted Final invoice waiting 18 days
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.
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.
