    The correct entry is

    Debit Cash $1,274

    Credit Cash: Over and Short $17

    Credit Sales: $1,257

    The "cash over and short" account is drawn from in the normal course of business to cover employee mistakes for the amount that isn't accounted for in the initial transaction (the missing $17).
