<HTML>Not all will throw away invoices.  I'm amazed at = the amt. of clients who proudly save all of their piano receipts through the= years. I can't tell the amt. that actually keep a manilla folder in the ben= ch with all the receipts....in order. I hear your point loud and clear about not needing the "necessity" of handin= g them piece of paper describing all of which was completed. Is it really ne= eded? Its one of those formalities in life describing when a business transaction= has been completed, when payment was made, and what work has been done. In our neck of the woods the signature at the bottom of the receipt is criti= cal,  stating that the "above work has been completed satisfactory" by = the customer becoming a legal binder stating some level of closure on that t= ransaction has been completed.
