Sales tax receipts requirement

We will be itemizing this year and want to deduct sales taxes.  Given the SALT limitation of $10k and a property tax of about $6k that I paid on my house, I only have ~4k left.

 

I did not keep all receipts this year, but due to large purchases, I do have enough receipts to exceed the $4k left before hitting SALT cap.

 

Is it safe to deduct the amount for the receipts I do have and just ignore the sales tax I spend on receipts I don't have?

 

Thanks.
