This is maybe a general accounting question, but a cashier accepted a prepaid debit card that didn't cover the amount of the purchase. The POS system flagged this as a partial payment but the cashier didn't notice and let the customer leave without paying the difference. The business is a small art gallery that sells items on commission. Since the error was the gallery's, the full amount of the sale must be posted to the artist's account, so how should I categorize the shortfall? Thanks!
