kassabonnummer

Kassabonnummer is the unique identifier assigned to a cash register receipt in Dutch-speaking retail contexts. It serves as a reference for a specific transaction and is used by retailers and customers to track purchases, process returns or exchanges, and verify details of a sale.

In practice, the kassabonnummer helps customers reprint a receipt, claim a warranty, or request a refund. For retailers, it supports transaction reconciliation, point-of-sale reporting, and fraud prevention. The exact format of a kassabonnummer varies between stores and systems; it is typically a numeric or alphanumeric string that may incorporate date or store codes, but there is no universal standard.

Where to find it: the kassabonnummer is usually printed on the bottom or top of a receipt, and may also appear in electronic receipts or online order confirmations. If a receipt is lost, many stores can reprint it or provide a digital copy, especially when the kassabonnummer is known. It should not be confused with an invoice number, which is a separate document used primarily for invoicing and tax purposes.

Regulatory and privacy aspects vary by country and retailer. In general, receipts record purchase details such as items, prices, totals, and payment method, and may include optional customer data if a loyalty account was used. Retailers retain transaction records for auditing, accounting, and compliance, subject to applicable data retention policies.
