What is a Sales Receipt in QuickBooks?

QuickBooks Sales Receipt has a detailed description of the products or services purchased by the customer. The sales receipt is also similar to the invoice. But the invoice is issued when you request payment from the customer. When customers pay for the products or services without having an invoice then the sales receipt is used. It has the details about the sale revenue and the cash received.

Difference Between a QuickBooks Sales Receipt and Invoice

  • In Sales Receipt, you get to know the amount that you get and in Invoice, you get to know the amount that you have to collect later on.
  • By creating sales receipts you will match the deposit with your sales receipts. If you create an invoice then you receive the payment and do match the transaction with the received invoice payments.
  • You cannot send the sales receipt and invoice for the same sale.
  • If you have to send the bill first to the customer before the payment then you have to issue an invoice and when they pay you marked and sent them the invoice as paid. If the customer pays without sending a bill then you have to issue a sales receipt while receiving payment.
