If I purchased something a merchant, then, according to members of this forum, I could write this: 

> 
> I *made a purchase* ***from*** the merchant.
> 
> 
> 

as standard English, with the preposition "*from*" denoting that merchant is the source of the stuff purchased. 

Suppose I received something from somebody. Using the pattern "*make a purchase from*" as inspiration, could I write the following: 

> 
> I *made a receipt* ***from*** the merchant.
> 
> 
> 

as standard English?
