create_receipt mutation

In cash receipting, especially in systems using APIs (like in financial software or ERP systems), a create_receipt mutation is a function call that creates a new receipt record. 

It usually contains, 

  • Amount received

  • Payer info

  • Payment method (cash, check, card)

  • Date and time of receipt

  • Reference to what the payment was for (for example, invoice, account, service)

 

A "mutation" is a query to read data and a mutation to change data (create, update, delete). So a create_receipt mutation is an operation that tells the system that this payment is a receipt and to store it in the system. 

 

Reasons why the create_receipt mutation is useful

  • Automates receipt creation from other systems (for example, point-of-sale, online payments, front desk)

  • Keeps records consistent and searchable

  • Supports integration between external services

 

The create_receipt mutation was updated to support Community Development Permit Deposits and Project Deposits.
