If you sell 2 items to a customer directly you would create a receipt upon direct payment. You would mainly create invoices when selling on credit so receipt against invoice follows when actually receiving the funds. So item selection is a must on receipts and payments if related to inventory and non-inventory items. ---

No - The Sales invoice 1. Increased your sales account 2. Increased your Accounts Receivable/Customer balance 3. Decreased your inventory account 4. Increased your Inventory cost of sales When you record the receipt 1. It reduces the Accounts receivable/Customer balance 2. Increases your bank or cash account There is no item in the Receipt when recording money paid by your customer for a Sales Invoice ---

If it is a cash sale, so no invoice created, then you must include the item in the receipt [Make cash sales (sell without sales invoices) | Manager](https://www.manager.io/guides/7321) If it is a credit sale, with a Sales invoice, then the item is included in the Sales Invoice and not in the Receipt [Create sales invoices | Manager](https://www.manager.io/guides/7178) This is all explained clearly in the Guides ---

Did you enter a quantity of the item? As I can’t read arabic, I do not unbderstand what you have entered - you could switch your language temporarily to english and then post a screen image ---

The screenshot you showed should not select an item as it was receipt against an invoice. The items are already selected in the invoice as @Joe91 explained (please read the guides carefully that were linked in @Joe91’s post.) When you do a direct sales with immediate payment by the customer you need to create a receipt and select the item in the line and add as many lines as you are selling items to that customer on that receipt. The inventory amount will change accordingly similar to when creating an invoice and so do the income and expense accounts if you have setup all as recommend in the guides. ---
