Excel – Assignment Register with nine tabs
The workbook contains Overview, Assignments, Orders, Changes, Deliveries, Prices, Approvals, Communication, and Read Me. Link documents and events with a common assignment ID so that changes in price details and delivery decisions can be tracked.
The overview displays eight formula-based indicators: registered assignments, accepted assignments, orders, unapproved changes, accepted changes, deliveries pending review, total registered sum excluding VAT, and requested decisions.
On the Prices tab, you can enter quantity, unit price excluding VAT, and the manually verified VAT percentage. Excel calculates quantity × unit price = sum excluding VAT as well as the total amount including VAT. A control test with 3 × 1,200 SEK and 25 percent VAT yielded 3,600 SEK excluding and 4,500 SEK including VAT. The test values have been removed from the empty delivery file.
There are dropdown lists for assignment, delivery, change, and decision status. Excel does not automatically judge whether a contract has been concluded, whether an approval is authorized, or which VAT rate is applicable. These questions must be checked separately.
How to use an assignment confirmation – ten steps
- Identify the parties. Check legal company names, organization numbers, parties to the assignment, and who is authorized to order or approve.
- Locate the tender. Save the actual quote documentation, previous agreements, and terms appendices.
- Check the acceptance. Ensure that the client's order matches the offer without new or changed terms that the parties have not accepted.
- Describe the scope. Write exactly what is included, what is not included, deliverables, and any acceptance criteria.
- Confirm the price. Fill in the agreed price model, any cost cap, verified VAT, and payment terms.
- Send the assignment confirmation. Archive the document version, recipient, date, and any objections or responses.
- Register the order. Use Excel for ID, contract reference, status, contact, and verification proof.
- Document changes. Create a separate change confirmation when scope, price, or delivery dates change. Request acceptance according to the agreement.
- Acknowledge delivery. Distinguish what the client has received from what the client has finally approved according to the current agreement.
- Perform a final settlement. Check invoices, deliveries, and remaining commitments without inadvertently waiving claims.
Assignment confirmation or assignment agreement – what is the difference?
An assignment confirmation is used to confirm in writing what the parties have already agreed upon. An assignment agreement or consultancy agreement can be more extensive and regulate, for example, liability, termination, confidentiality, intellectual property, personal data, and disputes. A short confirmation is therefore not always sufficient as the sole contract document. The legal meaning is determined by the content and circumstances, not the heading.
What applies according to Swedish contract law?
Tender and unqualified acceptance
The main model in the Swedish Contracts Act (1915:218) is that a tender and a corresponding acceptance can create an agreement. A confirmation should therefore not be used to unilaterally add other prices, longer commitment periods, or new liability limitations after the fact than what the parties have actually agreed upon. The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tillväxtverket) emphasizes that an order confirmation should reflect the terms that have been accepted.
Qualified acceptance and new terms
If the client says yes but changes essential terms, the response may, under certain circumstances, be a new tender rather than an unqualified acceptance. Conflicting standard terms or late responses can also create issues. Therefore, use the document's specific field for deviations and ensure you request explicit approval before assuming a change.
Change orders and authorized approval
Additional work should describe the new work, impact on the schedule, price, resources, and how previous agreements are affected. Check the authority of the person ordering or approving. Follow any established procedure for written amendments in a master agreement. Registering an addition in Excel does not mean the counterparty has accepted it.
Delivery receipt versus approval
That someone confirms the receipt of a file or service is not always the same as final contractual approval, and closing an internal matter does not automatically mean that all claims or payment issues are fully settled.
Limitation: orders from consumers
The main templates are aimed at business-to-business (B2B). For agreements with private individuals, especially for distance contracts, the Swedish Act on Distance Contracts and Contracts Outside Business Premises (2005:59) can impose mandatory requirements regarding, among other things, pre-purchase information and confirmation in a readable and durable format. This B2B template does not replace such specifically adapted consumer confirmations.
The documents are general templates and do not constitute individual legal advice or externally lawyer-reviewed standard agreements. Adapt to the parties' actual tender and acceptance, industry, hierarchy of terms, authority, and applicable regulations. Source check October 18, 2026. The 2027 version marking does not imply that future legislative changes have already been assessed.

Frequently asked questions about assignment confirmation
What should an assignment confirmation contain?
At a minimum: correct parties, reference to the actually accepted quote or order, scope of service, delivery, price, schedule, agreed terms, and traceability. More may be needed depending on the assignment.
Is an assignment confirmation legally binding?
It can document a binding agreement. It depends on the tender, acceptance, the content of the confirmation, and the circumstances, not on the document's heading.
Do both parties need to sign?
Not always according to the main rule for standard service agreements, but a framework agreement, industry rule, or special procedure may require a signature or other form of approval.
What is the difference between a quote and an order confirmation?
A quote is an offer with specific terms. The order confirmation is intended to reflect the accepted order and may not on its own add changes that have not been accepted.
Is a template for change orders included?
Yes. The change confirmation documents the previous scope, proposed additions, price, schedule, and approval.
Can I use Excel to calculate assignment prices?
Yes. Enter quantity, price per unit, and the correctly verified VAT percentage. Excel calculates amounts excluding and including VAT with two decimal places.
Does a delivery receipt automatically grant final approval?
No. Receipt, contractual acceptance, and waiver of claims are separate issues that must be tested against the actual agreement.
Is the template made for consumer orders?
No, the main templates primarily concern B2B services. Consumer distance contracts may have specific mandatory information and confirmation requirements.
Are English assignment confirmations included?
No. Five main templates are Swedish; a separate English User Guide is included.
