Ledger CLI offers a flexible structure of tagging any entry, including
 | 
			
		||||
separate tags for parts of a split transaction.  This system uses those tags
 | 
			
		||||
to ensure proper entry is included.
 | 
			
		||||
to ensure proper documentation is included for each financial transaction
 | 
			
		||||
that occurs for the organization.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Tags Used In This System
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
A list of tags can be found in the file `accounts/config/config-tags.ledger`
 | 
			
		||||
in this project.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### 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.
