Sales receipt vs. invoice

A sales receipt works like a regular invoice with a PAID stamp on it. Typically, first you invoice the customer and receive the payment, and then issue a sales receipt or the invoice with PAID stamp on it to the customer. If the customer pays you at the point of sale in full, you just need to issue a sales receipt.

Sale receipts are important for a customer in case a refund is needed or for accounting purposes.

There are several ways to create sales receipts e.g., handwritten, printed from cash registers or printed automatically from ERP systems.
