Writing sales receipts by hand or in Word — and getting confused with the totals every time? Receipts come out different, it’s easy to make a mistake in the total, copies aren’t saved, and there’s no link to inventory. A customer asks for a receipt — and you spend time filling it in by hand instead of printing it in a couple of seconds.
A sales receipt is a document confirming a purchase. In ERPJS a sales receipt is printed straight from a sale: you record the shipment of goods, and the system generates a ready receipt with the list of items, prices and total. Below — what a sales receipt is, how to create one online and how it differs from a fiscal receipt.
What is a sales receipt and what should it contain?
A sales receipt is a non-fiscal document that confirms a sale and the handover of goods to the buyer. It’s issued together with a fiscal receipt or instead of one in cases where using a cash register isn’t mandatory.
A complete sales receipt contains:
- The date and number of the receipt
- The seller’s name and details (sole trader or company)
- A list of goods: name, quantity, unit price and the amount per line
- The total amount due
- The seller’s signature (if needed)
How to create and print a sales receipt online?
You can create a sales receipt in accounting software in three steps, with no manual form-filling:
- Record the sale. Pick goods from your catalogue — the system pulls names and current prices automatically.
- Generate the receipt. The program builds a sales receipt with the list of items, quantity, prices and the total — with no risk of an arithmetic error.
- Print or save. The receipt prints on a regular printer or is saved to a file. All issued receipts stay in the system.
Unlike a handwritten form, the receipt is immediately linked to accounting: the sold goods are written off from stock and the sale enters the reports.
How does a sales receipt differ from a fiscal one?
These are different documents, and they’re often confused:
- A sales receipt is a non-fiscal confirmation document. It can be generated and printed from accounting software as an ordinary printed form of a sale.
- A fiscal receipt is created by a cash register or a software-based fiscal device and is automatically reported to the tax authority. It requires separate fiscalisation.
ERPJS prints sales receipts as a form of a sale, and for fiscal receipts there’s an integration with a software fiscal device — more in the article Fiscal Receipts Without a Separate Cash Register.
How does printing sales receipts work in ERPJS?
In ERPJS a sales receipt isn’t a separate document you have to fill in from scratch but a printed form of a sale. You record the shipment of goods to a customer, and the system generates a receipt with a ready list of items, prices and the total. The receipt template can be configured with your own details.
The main advantage is the link to accounting: every issued receipt means the goods are written off from stock and the sale is recorded in the reports. There’s no need to keep receipts in one place and inventory in another — it’s a single system.
In ERPJS a sales receipt is printed straight from a sale: goods and prices are pulled from the catalogue, the total is calculated automatically, and the sold goods are immediately written off from stock. No manual form-filling and no discrepancies between receipts and accounting.
Why is this better than writing receipts by hand?
Writing receipts by hand is a waste of time and a source of errors: totals are calculated in your head, forms come out different, copies get lost. There’s no link to inventory, so how much was actually sold remains unknown.
In software a receipt is generated in seconds from a single goods catalogue, the total is calculated automatically, and all issued receipts are saved. You see the sales history and can always pull up the receipt you need.
Who is it for?
Printing sales receipts in ERPJS is useful for:
- Small shops and retail outlets
- Sole traders selling goods and services
- Wholesalers and distributors
- Service centres and workshops
- Online stores that add a receipt to an order

Are goods written off from stock when a receipt is printed?

Can the receipt layout be configured with your own details?
Yes. The sales receipt template is configured with the seller’s details — the sole trader or company name, contacts and the fields you need. The receipt comes out consistent and tidy for every sale.
