Your sales receipt should have the following information:
- Date and time of purchase. This is important especially if you bought items, like electronic devices, that have warranty dates. The time frame where you can actually replace them with a new item should they malfunction due to a factory defect depends on your date of purchase and the terms provided by the store.
- The name and address of the establishment where you made the purchase. This will help you prove that you have bought items in that specific store should you found out later that there are missing items in your purchase or any other concerns. CCTV replays are always available to back up your claim.
- Name of the cashier that processed your transaction. It is easier to get claims and other areas of concern if you know who made your transaction as it can be seen on their daily counter reports.
