What a cash memo includes
- Your shop's name, address and phone at the top
- A cash memo number (CM-0001…) and the date
- Each item with quantity, rate and amount
- The total — and, because it's paid on the spot, the amount paid and a balance of zero
Cash memo vs bill vs invoice
Use a cash memo when the customer pays immediately. If payment comes later, give a bill or an invoice with a due date. Medical stores, mobile shops, restaurants and counters that are paid in cash mostly use cash memos.
