What is an Audit?
An Audit verifies that your inventory records match your actual on-hand inventory. You can perform a Full Audit of your entire inventory, a Partial Audit of selected products, or a Template Audit to verify products within a specific brand, category, department, or other predefined group.
During the Audit, the system compares the RFID tags you scan with the current inventory quantities in your partner system, making it easy to identify discrepancies between your physical inventory and your recorded inventory.
Audits are the recommended way to maintain accurate inventory and keep your partner system synchronized with your actual stock levels.
After completing the Audit, review mismatched products from the Resolve & Sync page to process each product, determine accuracy, and generate actions for resolving each one. These tasks include performing actions in the RFID system, as well as submitting corrections to the partner system.
