Use-case checklist
What to include in a construction receipt
Construction payments arrive in stages. A receipt should identify the project, draw or milestone, source invoice, amount applied, and balance so it cannot be confused with payment for the whole contract.
- project name and address
- contract, draw, or invoice reference
- payment stage and covered work
- amount, method, and received date
- remaining balance and retainage status
Example starting lines
| Description | Qty | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Progress payment received | 1 | $18,500 |
| Approved change order payment | 1 | $2,400 |
Complete it cleanly
Name the property and project, reference the payment application or invoice, label the payment stage, and show remaining contract balance separately. Note retainage without implying it has been paid.
When this document is the right choice
Use this receipt to give the customer a clear record after payment. A receipt confirms money already received. An invoice requests payment, so do not label an unpaid balance as a receipt or mark it paid before funds clear.
