To do what?
If you have the receipt number, you have the receipt number - if you don't, you don't. The concept of making a receipt from scratch is useless.

Receipts aren't numbered by whether they're cash, check, or charge. Receipt numbers correspond to which store it came from, the date, the time of day, the register it came from, and how many transactions have occurred on that register that day. Unique transaction IDs are automatically generated in chronological order.

Knowing this changes nothing of course, as there's still no way to duplicate all of the information.

Try it but be smart, hell I'd have tried it by now out of curiosity but alas, there are no Walmarts in NYC
Go for what? The only workable concept that's been talked about is the original White House scam.
