Using POS 2.0 posting transactions to Quickbooks.
We had only credit card transactions one day. We neglected to enter the cash closing balance.
Cash over short was correct on Z report. (I assume the thing to do at the time was to "open" another batch and enter the right closing balance and run another Z report, but we did not do this.)
When we posted to Quickbooks, we saw the following:
1 - correctly posted cash short debit to appropriate account
2 - Debited sales for the same amount
3 - Credited cash account (as offset to item 2)
Why did it do items 2 and 3? These might be appropriate if we did a cash back or a cash return, but seem incorrect for an over/short. Why did this hit sales?
