Add Products to an Audit
Product inventory quantities are not displayed until you click Start Audit.
When you start an Audit, Simple RFID retrieves the latest inventory quantities from the selected Source (such as Shopify or Apparel Magic). These quantities become the baseline for comparing your RFID scan results during the Audit.
Important: Once you click Start Audit, the Audit is locked. You will no longer be able to add or remove products from the Audit.
Full Audit
If you selected Full, you do not need to manually add products.
When you click Start Audit, all products from the selected Source and Location are automatically loaded into the Audit along with their current inventory quantities.
Partial Audit
If you selected Partial, the Audit includes an Add Items button.
Click Add Items to search for and select the specific products you want to include in the Audit before starting it. Once you have added all desired products, click Start Audit to load their current inventory quantities and begin the Audit.
Template Audit
If you selected Template, a window will open displaying your saved Audit Templates.
From this window, you can:
- View existing templates.
- Edit a template.
- Delete a template.
To create a new template or modify template settings, click the Configuration icon. This opens the Templates side panel, where you can create, edit, and manage your reusable Audit Templates.
Create, Edit, Delete, and Apply Templates
Create New Template
From the Add page, you can give the template a Name, a Description, and select which Category you wish to include or exclude.
The Category will read from the Type field of the product in Shopify.
Finally, click "Create Template" to create.
Once the Template has been applied, click the "Start Audit" button to load the On Hand quantities for the selected items.
Scanning Items in Audit
Once all desired products are added, click the Start Audit button.
- Expected: Displays the on hand inventory counts from the partner system (Shopify, Apparel Magic, etc.).
- Scanned: This column initially displays 0 for all products because no items have been scanned at the start of the Audit. As you scan and upload RFID tags, the Scanned count updates to show the total number of tags detected for each product during the current Audit.
- Diff: This column displays the difference between the Expected and Scanned counts.
Scanning Items in Audit from Mobile App
The Audit will now appear on the mobile device and will contain the same products and quantities. To scan items into this Audit, navigate to the Audit page on the Simple RFID mobile app.
From here, you can select an Audit and start a Scan. You can also create Audits from the mobile app, or edit Audits in Draft status.
Over Expected, Under Expected and Matched
The process can be repeated as many times as the user wishes, until the Audit is Closed. Please be aware that clicking the "Complete Audit" button will close the audit and prevent additional scans to be uploaded for that Audit.
Completing an Audit
After uploading the scan, refresh the web view of the Audit page to view the scanned amounts, including the mismatches between Shopify and all scans
When you are finished scanning, press the Complete Audit button. This will change the Audit status to Completed.
Once you complete the Audit, you can go to the Resolve & Sync page to sync your inventory to Shopify.
