Kvitteringsutskrift

Kvitteringsutskrift is a receipt printout produced by a point-of-sale (POS) system or cash register after a transaction. It serves as a formal record of the purchase and as proof of payment for the customer, and it provides the merchant with an auditable trail for accounting and auditing purposes.

A kvitteringsutskrift typically contains key details about the transaction. These usually include the merchant’s name and contact information, the date and time of the purchase, a unique receipt number, payment method, and the total amount paid. It also lists the purchased items with quantities, descriptions, unit prices, any discounts, line totals, and applicable taxes. Additional information may include store identifiers, register or cashier IDs, return or exchange policy references, and customer-facing notes. In many systems the receipt may also include a barcode or QR code for verification or digital processing.

Purpose and use: The primary function is to provide proof of purchase for the customer. It is commonly used for returns, warranty claims, and expense accounting, and it serves as an essential document for VAT or sales tax reporting and bookkeeping. While some jurisdictions require a receipt for consumer sales, others permit alternative invoicing or digital records. With electronic commerce and mobile wallets, kvitteringsutskrifter can also be delivered electronically by email, SMS, or in-app notifications.

Formats: Receipts can be printed on paper or delivered digitally. They may be standard receipts, or reissued as part of a customer’s account history or e-receipts.
