Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): A receipt is a written acknowledgment, signed by the person who received money, that a payment was made. It proves to the payer that they paid, how much, when and for what. A complete receipt includes a number, the date, both names, the amount in figures and words, the reason, the payment method and a signature. The receipt number simply identifies each receipt so you can keep them in order and find one later.
