Issue a receipt

Generating produces a draft. Issuing commits it.

Mark as Issued

Select the receipts and click Mark as Issued. Each takes the next number in the series.

Why the two steps are separate

A draft is a document you can look at, regenerate and throw away. Once issued, the receipt has a number, and that number is the donor's reference. From that point:

• Regenerate Record is limited to drafts. An issued receipt cannot be quietly rebuilt underneath its number.
• Corrections go through Void, which leaves an audited trail. See Void and replace a receipt.

The gap between generating and issuing is your chance to check the document before it becomes the donor's official record.

Numbering

Receipts and acknowledgments run in separate series, each per year. Numbers are claimed in order and never reused, so the series stays continuous and gaps are meaningful.
