After closing a register, you can track your count of the register's contents.
When you input a register count in MJ Platform, you enter the number of coins and banknotes in the register. You can then specify how much money to keep in the register, and, if taking any out, which vault register to put the excess amount into.
If the facility is set to require a verification count, then another user with the appropriate user role is required to verify the employee count before the register can be reopened.

How to Input an Employee Count
Before you can complete this procedure, you must close the register. Additionally, you must be logged in as a user with permission to perform a register count.
Open the App Drawer, expand the Sales Report menu and click Closing Report (Closed Registers).
Enter the date the count applies to in the Date field. The default value is the current date.
Scroll to the applicable register and click Count. This opens the Register Reconciliation page.
Under Employee Count, enter the number of coins and bills.
Do not enter the dollar amount. Enter the number of coins and banknotes.
If you are moving some money out of the register, enter the amount that will remain in the register in the Reset Drawer To field, and select the vault register the excess money will go into from the Drop Register menu.
Click Save or Save and Print to complete the count. The end of day balance is updated for the register on the Closing Report page.
How to Input a Verification Count
Before you can complete this procedure, the employee count must already be done (see above). Additionally, you must be logged in as a user with permission to perform a verification count.
A verification count is required only if your facility is set to require a verification count.
Open the App Drawer, expand the Sales Report menu and click Closing Report (Closed Registers).
Enter the date the count applies to in the Date field. The default value is the current date.
Scroll to the applicable register and click Verify Count. This opens the Register Reconciliation page.
Under Verification, enter the number of coins and bills. The numbers you enter here will supersede the employee count after saving if there are any discrepancies. (The employee count will remain for reporting purposes).
Do not enter dollar amounts in the Verification fields. Enter the number of coins and banknotes.
You can see the employee's initial count under Employee Count.
If there is a discrepancy, the following fields will indicate it:
Counted Over/Short: The value in the Counted Total field (calculated from the employee count) does not match the expected total cash, which is based on the transactions that took place with that register during the day.
Verified Over/Short: The value in the Verified Drop field (calculated from the verification count) does not match the amount in the Reset Register To field (filled in during the employee count).
Counted/Verified Discrepancy: The value in the Verified Drop field (calculated from the verification count) does not match the Counted Drop amount (calculated from the employee's counted total minus the Reset Register To value filled in by the employee).
If you are moving some money out of the register, select the vault register the excess money will go into from the Drop Register menu.
Click Save to complete the count. The end of day balance is updated for the register on the Closing Report page.
