How to fill it in

Number your receipts in order, so you can match each one to a payment.
Say what the payment is for: the invoice number, or the job and whether it is a deposit or a final payment.
Show the balance remaining, even if it is zero, so both of you agree where things stand.
Give the customer one copy and keep one with the job records.
