Sales receipt


Explanation:
Factura could be either "invoice" or "receipt". Invoice is when money has not changed hands. Receipt is to acknowledge payment. If you have a stamp that says "PAID" or any other indication of payment, then what you have is a receipt, if not, it is an invoice.
Best regards,
