Note
The -ing form does two jobs: it builds progressive tenses (she was receipting the bills) and it names the activity as a verbal noun (receipting takes time). The verb is the noun receipt put to work, and it runs two ways. Receipting a bill or invoice means marking it as paid, while receipting for goods means writing an acknowledgment that they arrived. The preposition for tells the two apart.
