You're in the right page, receipt.html. I have the same thing in mine *almost*
At the top of the page I have:
[tag flag write]inventory[/tag]
[tag touch inventory][/tag]

And my actual code is:
[data inventory qty [item-code] -[item-quantity] decrement]

because my inventory is tracked in a separate table called "inventory.asc" 
rather than in products as yours appears to be.
