This article covers safe counts, an R365 feature that allows organizations to log and track cash counts. 

When enabled, users can create a safe count entry and enter the petty cash currently in the safe, the entering manager, and the receiving manager. When the cash totals are entered, the safe count form will calculate any over/short amounts. 

The over/short amount is calculated by comparing the actual total in the safe and the expected total in the safe. The over/short amount is the dollar amount over or short the actual total compared to the expected amount, which can be set by editing the safe count settings. 

Important Note: Safe Counts is not dependent on any other Cash Management features and entries are for tracking purposes only. The cash totals, including paid outs, paid ins, change orders, and any attachments or over/short calculations are not connected to any other feature in R365.
