Use-case checklist

What to include in a contractor payment cash receipt

A contractor cash receipt should say which project, invoice, and payment stage the money covers so a partial cash payment is not mistaken for full settlement.

  • contractor, customer, and project
  • invoice or contract reference
  • deposit, progress, or final-payment stage
  • cash amount and received date
  • receipt number, signature, and remaining balance

Complete it cleanly

Reference the project and invoice, state deposit or milestone, count and acknowledge the amount, show remaining balance, sign, and give the payer a copy. Deposit the cash and reconcile it to the receipt number promptly.

When this document is the right choice

Use this cash receipt to document a cash payment at the moment it is received. A cash receipt should identify the payer, amount, purpose, date, and person receiving the money. Keep a matching copy because cash does not create an automatic bank-card record.
