# Create sales receipt

Create a POS sale receipt. A non-courtesy sale requires paymentForm; credit sales require paymentForm 99 and a stored customer.customerId with credit enabled. This operation never stamps a CFDI.

Tool: `create_sales_receipt`

## Purpose

Create a POS sales receipt without stamping a CFDI.

### Use when

A point-of-sale transaction has been completed.

### Do not use when

You need to create a fiscal CFDI directly.
