We don't know and we never will.

Receipts have been used since language existed. Which is thousands and thousands of years ago.

They were used in many business transactions in many cultures around the world, and were not always on paper.

In Ancient Babylon, for example, business transaction receipts have been found by archaeologists written on clay tablets. While the clay was still wet, the buyer and seller both signed the tablet and added their fingerprint alongside their signature.

(Yes, the Babylonians used fingerprints before we did in the Western world).
