An overage in the Petty cash fund is recorded with a credit to Cash and short over in the Petty cash fund reimbursing entry.

Sometimes the petty cashier fails to get a receipt for payments or overpay for the amount due. When this occurs and the fund is later reimbursed the petty cash payments report plus the cash over will not total to the fund balance
