An attachment size checklist records the evidence behind a delivery plan. Raw file sizes alone do not describe a MIME message containing encoded attachments, body text and headers. The companion planner models Base64 parts and an entered allowance; this checklist adds the actual sender and recipient requirements and final prepared-message check.
Keep the provider's stated unit and scope with its reference: a limit may describe one file or a complete message. Convert units consistently before using a budget. The planning tool uses MiB, which is 1,048,576 bytes, and has no knowledge of current provider limits or actual files.
The fictional package has 2 MiB and 1 MiB raw attachments, plus a 0.25 MiB allowance. Its modeled message is about 4.36 MiB against an illustrative 5 MiB budget. Actual composition and policies still need verification; an estimate within the budget does not establish delivery success.

Use this page to move from general research into a calmer, more repeatable invoicing process.
How to complete the template
Inventory the approved package
List the exact invoice and supporting files, versions, byte sizes and necessity. Avoid copying recipient details or sensitive file contents into a general planning record.
Verify limit units and scope
Retain sender and recipient policy references, checked date and whether the limit applies per file or per message. Normalize the budget and estimate on the same unit basis.
Check the prepared message
Verify the actual message size and file policy where available. If an alternative is needed, use an approved delivery method with the appropriate recipient access, then keep delivery evidence.

Avoid this
Treating MB and MiB as identical
A decimal MB uses 1,000,000 bytes while MiB uses 1,048,576. Copying a number across units changes the available budget.
Avoid this
Shrinking a file without checking it
A revised PDF or split package needs a content and version check. Size compliance alone does not prove readability or completeness.

Questions people usually have before changing the workflow.
Does the planner upload my invoices?
No. It uses entered numeric sizes only; it cannot inspect the actual package.
Is a cloud link always an acceptable alternative?
Verify the authorized delivery method, access permissions and recipient requirements first. The checklist grants no access or permission.
Can I omit the allowance?
Use an explicit allowance that fits your composition assumptions. Zero excludes body and header size from the estimate and needs its own justification.
