Straight port from V2 adapted for V5 field names. Creates expense
receipts with dynamic line items, VAT calculation (Included/Excluded/
None at 15%), and emails HTML + PDF to Spark Receipt. Uses lazy
xhtml2pdf import to avoid crashing if not installed on server.
Files: forms.py (ExpenseReceiptForm + FormSet), views.py (create_receipt),
create_receipt.html, receipt_email.html, receipt_pdf.html, urls.py, base.html

- core/utils.py: render_to_pdf() wrapper for xhtml2pdf
- core/templates/core/pdf/payslip_pdf.html: A4 PDF payslip (matches V2 layout)
- core/templates/core/email/payslip_email.html: HTML email body for Spark
- core/templates/core/payslip.html: browser payslip detail page with print
- core/views.py: add payslip_detail view, wire email+PDF into process_payment
- core/urls.py: add payroll/payslip/<pk>/ route
- config/settings.py: add SPARK_RECEIPT_EMAIL setting
- payroll_dashboard.html: add "View" payslip link in Payment History tab
All templates show adjustments (bonuses, deductions, overtime, loan repayments)
as line items. Amounts always show 2 decimal places. Email failure does not
roll back payment — handled gracefully with warning message.
