Standalone Process: Reset Inventory & Identify Absent Items

This article provides instruction for users who do not have an external inventory source to compare their RFID scans against. It assists a user to identify what items are in inventory, and what items are no longer present.

If you wish to compare scans against custom source, such as a spreadsheet, use this article: Custom Source Audits. If you are comparing data from an integration (Shopify, Apparel Magic), please use this article: Audit against Integration

Navigate to Menu

If you are using Simple RFID as a stand-alone application and you wish to identify what items are in inventory, and what items that were in inventory but are no longer present, follow these steps.

Open the Simple RFID app on your scanner or phone that is paired with a scanner.

This step is similar to the regular scan.
Items that existed in the inventory before it was cleared will be marked as Found.

Items that are already in the active inventory and are scanned during this session will be marked as Reverified. Verified/Reverified items are not added to your inventory quantity since the serial numbers already exist in the inventory.

It's possible to download 2 different reports, one for Verified and another for Absent items, which depends on which Inventory tab is currently open.


Each report is meant to represent specific information, but all of them can be downloaded.
