Custom Fields
Create labeled fields for campaign codes, contact details, fees, taxes, and internal notes so each digital receipt captures PR-specific metadata consistently for reporting and reconciliation.
Digital receipts can meet U.S. legal standards when executed under ESIGN and UETA; organizations handling health or education data should also assess HIPAA and FERPA requirements and preserve tamper-evident audit trails.
A PR Coordinator issues receipts for event fees and vendor reimbursements, maintains standardized templates, and ensures receipts include campaign codes and approval signatures so finance can reconcile expenses efficiently.
An Agency Accountant reviews signed receipts for accuracy, enforces retention policies, reconciles amounts against invoices and payments, and relies on audit logs to support internal and external financial reviews.
Create labeled fields for campaign codes, contact details, fees, taxes, and internal notes so each digital receipt captures PR-specific metadata consistently for reporting and reconciliation.
Use templates that auto-populate repeated information—client name, agency billing codes, or default tax rates—to reduce manual entry and minimize errors in high-volume PR transactions.
Distribute identical receipts to multiple recipients with individualized fields populated automatically, saving time when issuing standardized confirmations or mass acknowledgments.
Maintain tamper-evident logs showing who viewed, modified, and signed each receipt with timestamps and IP addresses for internal controls and compliance reviews.
Restrict who can create, edit, or view receipts using role-based permissions to protect client information and maintain separation of duties in finance and PR teams.
Archive final signed receipts automatically in encrypted cloud storage with retention policies to support audits and long-term recordkeeping requirements.
Conditional Fields let you show or hide elements based on prior answers; for example display tax breakdowns only when applicable. This keeps receipts concise while ensuring all necessary fields appear when required, reducing confusion for clients and internal reconciliation.
Calculated Amounts automatically compute totals, taxes, and discounts inside the receipt template. This reduces manual arithmetic errors, ensures consistent totals across documents, and saves time for PR staff handling high volumes of small transactions.
Digital Signatures capture signer identity and timestamp information inside the receipt file and tie it to an audit log. They help meet ESIGN/UETA expectations and provide evidence the receipt was authorized by an approved party.
Printable Version generates a PDF that preserves layout and metadata for clients who require a hard copy. It supports consistent offline records and can be stored alongside the digital audit trail for compliance.
