Scan process
This article outlines the steps to scanning inventory in and out of inventory, as well as resetting inventory to identify what is on hand.
Adding Inventory (Scanning)
Retail Stores - Most retail stores can audit daily. Absent items can be compared against sold items to confirm.
Receiving
Any time items are added to your inventory, a ledger of the origin of the item, and where it came from (such as the Order #) should exist.
Receiving Purchases - Newly purchased product must be scanned to confirm receipt.
Receiving Transfers - Scanning product being received from internal sources (other stores or warehouses). If orders are managed in another system, the scans simply validate the actions executed match the order details

Before your audit, take time to review your Absent List to determine was moved to this list since the last audit. This list of items can be downloaded and compared against sales against a given period. Remember, items which are displayed as absent list pools items not scanned after an audit. Once the Absent list is cleared, the items are moved to Archived.
Remember, Archived items can be restored when scanning but will not be added back into inventory by default.
