How to Get Proof of Payment to a Vendor
When you deal with vendors that provide you with products and services, it is important to keep good records so you can keep your books balanced. Thus, you want to maintain all documentation of your payments. Most vendors automatically provide an invoice or receipt upon payment; however, if you should find yourself without proof, it is important to reconcile the situation as soon as possible. Doing this makes managing your personal finances or business much less complicated.
