Receipt voucher template UAE: record money in

A receipt voucher is not a tax invoice and does not replace one. Its job is to evidence payment, so it needs enough detail for anyone to trace the money to the bank and to the invoice it settles.

• Title "Receipt Voucher" with a sequential number and date
• Your company name and address
• Received from: customer name
• Amount in figures and in words, in AED or the currency paid
• Method: cash, cheque or bank transfer
• For cheques: bank, cheque number and cheque date, noting post-dated cheques
• Invoice numbers settled, or "advance" if no invoice yet
• Received by: name and signature

Post-dated cheques are not money in the bank. Issue the voucher on receipt, but record the cheque as a post-dated cheque receivable until it clears, and only then settle the invoice. A bounced cheque is far easier to reverse when it never touched the bank account in your books.

If the payment is an advance with no tax invoice yet, mark it clearly. Receiving payment can fix the VAT point for a supply, so your accountant needs to see advances in the period they arrive.

In HelloBooks, record the receipt against the invoices it settles and HelloBooks produces the voucher for the customer. Upload your bank statement in PDF, CSV or Excel when the cheque clears and the AI agent matches the deposit to the receipt, even when the bank narrative only shows a cheque number.

Ask "which post-dated cheques fall due this week?" and the agent lists them with amounts. Firms that want a voucher layout with an Arabic amount-in-words line or their own numbering can arrange it by booking a call at /book-a-demo.
