					#### Receipt Tag
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					The `Receipt:` tag refers to receipt of some sort.  Typically, this is a
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					document that shows clear confirmation that the transaction has already
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					occurred.  The value of the `Receipt:` tag is always a valid pathname in the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					repository to the document.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Some examples of appropriate uses of the `Receipt:` are:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					* a point-of-sale credit card receipt from a purchase, given by a cashier or
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  sent via email after the purchase has occurred.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					* a deposit slip given at the bank upon making an over-the-counter deposit of
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  paper checks.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					* a confirmation document showing an outgoing wire transfer made by a bank.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					* a confirmation document showing transfer of funds between two bank
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  accounts.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					* A pay advice document generated upon payment of an invoice.
