Aviso de recibo

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Accounting EDI - e-Billing - e-Tax
COLOMBIA. This is all the context I have available. Two lines from a DIAN online form. I am wondering whether this "aviso" is a regional form of "acuse de recibo" (receipt acknowledgement) or if it simply means notice/notification.

You don't need to say notice or notification or acknowledgment. A receipt is a confirmation that you've received something.

If you Google aviso de recibo, the hits are from all over the Spanish-speaking world.

I don't see your distinction between "acknowledgment" and "notification". All these near synonyms simply mean confirmation that something has been received, whether it be money at a supermarket till or a digital message.
Note from asker:
The query is whether there is a difference in meaning between the term "acuse de recibo" (recipt acknowledgement, or ACK in EDI parlance) used in Spain and "aviso de recibo" (Colombia), or if it is simply a synonymous regional or author's preference.
In tghis case, it is NOT just a bog standard receipt like you get when you purchase soemething, but rather an acknowledgement that a digital message (or payment) hs been received.
