Verify an Unverfied Journal Entry

Some Journal entries will be auto verified. These are typically journal entries (records) that are created by the system that would not need to be verified by the user such as Adds to an Auto Sentry Dispenser, or the Beginning and Ending Balance of a Point-of-Sale (POS) shift. 

Some Cash Management transactions create an unverified journal entry that a manager or supervisor needs to manually verify. Verify is an important, yet simple process where a manager or supervisor counts, and then compares the amount shown in the Cash Management journal entry to verify it is correct.

The following list is the safe actions and whether they need to be manually verified or if its Auto Verified: 

Verify Manually:

  • POS Register - Open Shift - Auto Verified
  • POS Register - Close Shift
  • Remove Touch POS (Using Safe)
  • Add Money to POS Drawer - Auto Verified
  • Deposit to Bank
  • Convert Currency
  • Add from Bank
  • Add from Other Source
  • Remove to Other Source
  • Ending Bank - POS (Not Using Safe)
  • Add to POS - (Not Using Safe)
  • Deposit to Bank - POS (Not Using Safe)

NOTES:

  • Auto Safe journal entries are added at midnight. 
  • You cannot verify an Open Shift or Close Shift.
